      Michael Thurlow: I am a Nazi. Jon Kay: Michael Thurlow is not a Nazi. Me: If someone says he's a Nazi, that's good enough for me. What's puzzling is why Kay is making a fool of himself.pic.twitter.com/dxfkInJGNg

      So why is @jonkay so intent on denying that someone who calls himself a Nazi is Nazi (and instead saying that that person is just "making insensitive arguments). I think the answer is anti-anti-racism.

          Kay is deeply committed to the idea that racism is not a serious problem in modern North America. So he literally cannot admit that anyone, even an avowed Nazi, is a racist.

          Part of Kay's argument (if you want to dignify it as such) is only people who ran concentration camps in 1945 are actual Nazis. That seems historically obtuse.

          I mean, even in 1933-1945, most Nazis didn't run actual concentration camps. And the Nazis that existed since then don't have power, so they can't, but they do have the ideology.

          There are people influenced by Nazi ideology who are killing people in the present.The fact they don't run concentration camps is of little comfort to me. Yet Kay wants to discount this reality. Why? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/the-resurgent-threat-of-white-supremacist-violence/550634/ …

          Anti-anti racism is actually just racism.

          We used to just call that racism. The double negative cancels out.

          It reads like, if you weren't in Germany btwn 1933-1945, you can't be a Nazi. He can't really be that stupid.

          I think I missed the part in the dictionary where it says only people who run concentration camps, invade Russia or flee to Argentina can be Nazis.pic.twitter.com/UAdqO7E1Zd

          I actually think he makes his rhetorical moves, such as they are, quite deliberately. He's appealing to his base.
