1. Really good back & forth on the question of "humanizing Nazis" on this TL. https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/934544273244073984 …

3. The interior life of Nazis is uninteresting because Nazism doesn't spring from quirky personal sources but rather widely shared structural & historical ones.

4. One big reason not to profile Nazis: self-professed Nazis are few in number. Broader American racism markets itself as implicit common sense, not Hitler-love.

5. Only reason to worry about small # of Nazis is powerful figures (Mercers, Cannon) trying to mainstream them & Trump wary of criticizing them.

6. The real news remains that USA president sees Nazis as part of his coalition. Profiling Seinfeld-loving Joe Dipshit of Ohio doesn't illuminate that.

We're all monsters? Really? I've never marched with tiki torches, brandished a gun to inspire fear or beat a woman bloody. Some monsters are more monster-y than others.

We're all monsters buys into the neoliberal cynicism ideology--implies need for state, discipline etc. "We're all humans", on the other hand, necessarily excludes certain people while humanizing vastly evil people. So why not just insist on plurality, rather than universal?

The other day, I saw a woman wearing a t-shirt: ALL MONSTERS ARE HUMAN. Thought it was an oddly philosophical sentiment for a shirt.
