      Jeet Heer Retweeted David Frum

      I know many people are allergic to Frum but this is a thoughtful contribution to the "should we debate racists/alt-rightists/fascists" question, especially since he's trying to come to terms with his experience.https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1059220681307643904 …

      Frum's piece can profitably be read in conjunction with this really superb @SashaHemon essay: https://lithub.com/fascism-is-not-an-idea-to-be-debated-its-a-set-of-actions-to-fight/ …

          but if you only have time for one after the polls close on Tuesday, go with the guy who has actually confronted fascists, not the one who thinks he can sing Send In The Clowns just right & save the GOP 'don't bother, they're here'

          Frum is inherently and eternally safe from bannonism. If the bannonite platform came to full fruition, Frum would just keep doing whatever it is that he keeps doing (say, advocating imperialist wars).

          Frum is safe from Bannon's hate ideologies. Safe from his fascist aspirations. Frum does not speak for us.

          "Presently, their ideas are inflicted upon people of color and immigrants, who do not experience them as ideas but as violence." Some ideas are truly dangerous, and one of the most dangerous is the notion that ideas can be shut down because they're dangerous.

          "It is frightening to think we could be entering the civil war mode, wherein none of the differences and disagreements can be hashed out in discussion." Saying were close to civil war does two things: 1. justifies not debating people like Bannon 2. bring us closer to civil war

          Considering Frum's history, I basically read this "Munk Debate" as "RW War Mongering Rich Guy argues with RW Fascist Guy". Neither is worth the time of day, and Bannon in particular deserves to be ignored - we already know what he is.
