      14/So I fear the mainstreaming of the "America is bad, tear it down" interpretation of American history. I fear its consequences.

      15/The "America = Nazis" idea is pushed most vigorously by America's modern Nazis, the alt-right. They love this narrative.

      16/The alt-right *wants* everyone to think that Nazism = essential Americanism. That if you hate Nazism, you hate America.

      17/By accepting the "America = Nazis" narrative, the center-left allows the alt-right to claim the power of patriotism for their own.

      18/To sum up: If we allow everyone in this country to agree that America is fundamentally about racism and Nazism, the good guys lose. (end)

      Noah, I love you man, but this is a massive "no true Scotsman" argument you're making.

      It's more that I'm saying that who is and isn't a true Scotsman is partly a matter of opinion, not just pure fact.

      But also you're arguing that if we included some people as true Scotsmen then we'll have bad consequences. That's a bad approach to history.

      No, I'm saying we shouldn't say the only true Scotsmen are the Scotsman who do the bad stuff, just because we're pissed at Scotland now.

      Or, to de-Scot-ify this, I mean that essentializing "evil" narratives about America are as subjective as essentializing "good" narratives.

      Sure, essentializing narratives bad. Historical scholarship often about breaking down essentialist categories. But still....
