Kicked in?
This guy has earned each tooth pulled out with pliers, and tossed down his throat.

I do not understand how posting something like that doesnāt result in people forming a mob of hundreds to tear him limb from limb and shove his goddamn head on a pike as a warning to the rest of his kind. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi and itās so far beyond the stage where they should be getting a reminder of that.

Because those who remember what happened are either dead or, in far too many cases, now rooting for them.

Not sure if this is the right place for it.
Substack is apparently going even further mask off.

Wow, this is awful.
I wonder how much longer Heather Cox Richardson and Robert Reich (et al.) will choose to remain there.

I finally made it through the video. Had to pause a couple times and take a day or two off to recover before resuming. I have no idea how he made it through that ordeal so smoothly.
I think my favorite moment was near the end, when he picked one of them to debate him on any topic of their choice, and that guy wanted to end birthright citizenship and require every teenager to take a citizenship test in high school. Whether they were born here or not, regardless of their parents.
And Hasanās response was basically to laugh and say something like āAs someone who took the citizenship test, I hate to tell you this, and your friends in this room, who think thereās white replacement theory and āwhite genocideā going on are really going to hate to hear it, but if you make every teenager in this country take a citizenship test, those immigrant kids are gonna beat your white kids.ā Blew their minds.
Tactically did not follow up with āand then youāll have to deport your kids.ā
Iām not ready to watch the followup videos yet, but I am interested to see what he said afterward.

Somewhere in Scotland, Charlie Stross nails the point. I completely get why he uses all-caps.
I am not much of a fan of Newsweek but his post in full:
Russia Says Nazism Making Comeback in West: Putin Ally Says Trump 'Open to Dialogue' with Russia, But Warns Nazism Returning to West - Newsweek
Remember:
a) With the far right, itās ALWAYS projection
b) A big part of the reason the far right are everywhere in the west right now IS BECAUSE OF VLADIMIR PUTIN SUPPORTING THEM

Also, most if not all states require 8th grade students to pass a Constitution test in order to graduate middle school. At least in Illinois, itās pretty rigorous: a decent percentage do not pass on their first try.
He didnāt grow up here and I suspect his daughters are too young to be in middle school yet, so he probably doesnāt know this particular factoid or he would have said something.

It struck me that for Hollywood to make V for Vendetta, it was a way for thwarted and impotent American liberals to feel that they were making some kind of statement about how pissed off they were with the current situation without really risking anything. Itās all set in England, which I think that probably, in most American eyes, is kind of a fairytale kingdom where we still perhaps still have giants. It doesnāt really exist; it might as well be in the Land of Oz for most Americans. So you can get set your political parable in this fantasy environment called England, and then you can vent your spleen against George Bush and the neo- conservatives. Those were my feelings, and I must admit those are completely based upon not having seen the film even once, but having read a certain amount of the screenplay. That was enough.

Dominic does, in fact, go into that.
