like, here's PRA writing about the Klan in the 1920s: "The Klan of the 1920s was a mainstream, national fraternal organization which openly espoused White supremacy... The KKK functioned in many ways as an ordinary fraternal order, with special social events..."

and i'm not saying, "their self-description should always be used." obv Volksfront called themselves "fraternal organization" but r literally a nazi gang. similar w vinlanders. but PBs i think are (or have been) somewhat diff in that 1920s Klan way.

yeah, i think it's the most important work in the world exposing those ties and how these different containers function, and i respect the work y'all do in exposing it and getting those urls out there.

So why, Alex, are you on my ass with your tone policing and bullshit accusations of sexism when I ask a reporter to use accurate language, instead of just describing a fascist group by its preferred cover story?

i'm being perfectly frank w u. i don't think she's using inaccurate language calling them a fraternal org and a hate group, and having the latter part edited out isn't her fault. so why go after her like this with 5 diff ppl explaining what a frat is to her? didn't seem right...

Except that she just called them a “fraternity,” which was my original objection. You keep moving your goalposts, Alex, and I’m fucking tired of your disingenuous bullshit here. You don’t just get to make shit up here.pic.twitter.com/dVyFdGry9h

Replying to @AntiFashGordon @leftkist and
so your entire objection is using the term "fraternity" instead of "fraternal organization"?

No, my objection is leaving out “hate group.” Quit acting like you don’t know what I’m talking about.

She didn't leave out hate group though, the editor did.

And then she decided to specifically defend that editorial choice, as did you. Call me crazy, but I think that if you specifically defend something in the public sphere, that amounts to an endorsement of that choice.pic.twitter.com/0P2T7id0DG

Replying to @AntiFashGordon @leftkist and
she's not specifically defending leaving out "hate group" and neither am i. she's defending the usage of the term "fraternity," which you just said u didn't have any objection to...

Alex, you fucking know exactly what I’m talking about here, and you’re spinning in circles because you know you’re wrong. I’ve got some actual organizing to do, but free to DM me if you ever want to apologize for your baseless accusation of sexism.
