      1. Self-styled centrists can never be anti-fascist because their core commitment is to being critical of "both sides" (even if one side consists of racist murderers and the other of the milkiest of milquetoast liberals).https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1528067616362967043 …

      2. In the wake of a mass shooting rooted in anti-Black racism, we're seeing a lot of "both sides do it" from people who pride themselves as independent non-partisan actors (Greenwald, Mounk, Sullivan), all dishonestly conflating banal sociology with conspiracy theories.

      3. The conflation is between the idea that demographic change results in social/political change (almost a truism) and the conspiracy theory that a hidden cabal (often coded as Jews) are using immigration to commit white genocide. Those are not the same thing.

      4. Making observations about demographic change isn't the Great Replacement for the simple reason that demographic change is an inevitable feature of all human (and animal!) societies. A species whose members die & reproduce will have demographic change.

      5. Over at @thenation I spoke with @EoinHiggins_ about Greenwald's particular dishonesty in this debate but what we say applies to the broader "both-sides" community.https://www.thenation.com/podcast/politics/tucker-carlson-glenn-greenwald/ …

      GG is a blatant Right Wing propagandist. He goes far beyond simple bothsidesism. While pretending to be a Leftist, he agrees with MAGA & Russia on almost everything.

      Oh you poor Nazis are so sensitive that a little twitter jibe drives you to mass murder? Perhaps you should follow the example of your heroes and go into hiding in the jungles of South America.

          Just so you are aware--Many trolls are paid--in which case you can't persuade them or hurt their feelings. They're just putting food on the table. And they are paid for engagement. So if you converse with them, you are raising their income.
