I need to talk about this so you all understand it. I'm not linking to the piece. THIS WAS THEIR PLAN. EVERY TIME A NEWSPAPER PUBLISHES AN OP ED LIKE THIS THEY ARE LETTING THE NAZIS HAVE A STRATEGIC WINhttps://twitter.com/summerbrennan/status/998619251488374793 …

Like this has been backchannel and open channel discussion among Nazi groups since Unite the Right. There's no reason for any paper to publish a piece like this.

Isn't this the whole "overton" thing?

Not exactly. The overton window hasn't shifted far right enough that Nazi views are actually mainstream, but right enough that talking about them isn't a universal aberration. They're still beyond the boundaries of the window, but that's not why they're dangerous.

Maybe like an "overton basement window" then? It's all about the media normalizing them as if it's a totally normal thing for young boys to do, right?
