Dear esteemed expert on far right extremism: just read your new book everyone’s been crowing about.

Tom Metzger didn’t found Stormfront.

So glad you’ve got tenure and I’m unemployed. That’s cool.

Thought you may also want to know: Louis Beam didn’t introduce a brand new strategy in 1992 with ‘Leaderless Resistance.’

He wrote in 1983. He revised it in 1992.

If you can’t even Google, you don’t deserve tenure.

I’m so irritated.

‘Expert on white supremacist movements’ with tenure and doesn’t know basic facts about Stormfront, Metzger, or Louis Beam.

I PAID to read that book. I’ve been out of a job since May 2020, I write for free because I CARE and people need to know this stuff.

Anyway.

Back my unemployed ass goes to finish the factually accurate article I’m writing about white supremacists.

But I’m super glad your error-riddled book with a big platform is making you a lot of money and misinforming your readers who think tenure means anything.

(If academia weren’t a tiny, tiny world inhabited by way too many mean, insecure people, I’d go full petty: I’d edit the entire manuscript, post it on my Patreon, and send Dr. [redacted] the link. But I’m desperate to get a job again someday, soooo...)

(And bye!)

Hi there, everyone I don’t know, asking me what book:

“I Want An Academic Job Again Someday” by Someone Smart Enough Not To Say

(AAAAAAND GOODBYE FOR NOW)

Dear 2 random people that I don’t know, sliding into my DMs to accuse me of lying:

Um, no.
