When someone regularly retweets white supremacists and white supremacy content and tells you they agree with it, it’s only natural to believe them.


What particular tweets are you referring to?

The woman, Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist, was on CNBC this morning with Andrew Ross Sorkin. She fully defended her idiotic characterizations of "far right" in the interview. There is no transcript yet, but here is the video. LINK. Of course, Sorkin was all in on her take. These people really operate in a different world.

Repeating this over and over still does not make it true.

There is nothing wrong with caring for the future of one's race. If you think there is, you better start bitching about all the other racial movements started for the sole purpose of the betterment of a singular race, yet I never see you do so.

i knew the culture started to truly shift when i saw people unabashedly wearing Trump gear in public in his first 4 years. they went full nuclear on making sure everyone thought he was literally hitler. and people dgaf. that was when their artillery was outdated by our armor.

That is a trenchant comment.

anti-establishment journalists on the left I respect and consider. 


I mean this was obvious.


On a basic level the left wants more government the right wants less. It's like left wing libertarians. That's an oxymoron, you want more regulations, not less.



Is the argument that nationalism is far right? Because every democracy was born out of nationalism. Wanting Palestine to be a sovereign nation would be an example of nationalism.

Just FWIW, I have not seen the DSA agreeing with him. Do you have a link?
