      So anyway I have a personal connection to this kind of thing I don't think what happened to my mom's family is really directly analogous to antisemitic pogroms in every respect, or that either is directly analogous to my situation, now But the connections are there

      People like me in general, "rootless cosmopolitans" from immigrant minorities, "hyphenated" Americans, piss the fascists off Not all to the same degree and not all with the same long bloody history But it's that in-between-ness, blurring boundaries, they can't stand

      As a hyphenated American I'm never going to be "100%" anything the way they want me to be They'd only be happy with me if I fully became white, which is impossible, or if I "went back to China" -- where my full assimilation would be just as impossible but not their problem

      They're always going to be angry that just by *existing* here and being who I am I raise uncomfortable questions of "What does 'American' mean anyway, does it have a stable definition, is it something that can change and mutate at will"

      And because I am unavoidably aware of this fact, people like me are going to be much more prone to pursuing these questions and adopting the politics that come from that than the good ol' salt-of-the-earth "authentic" white folk who don't think about shit cause they don't have to

      So like I think this is an existential struggle I'm always going to be their enemy, I'm always going to be the enemy of a "true authentic United States of America that reflects the vision of its founders" And I'm fine with that Bring it the fuck on

      As sad and ugly as that struggle might be and as likely as I feel it is for people like me to lose this fight in the near future It's not as fucking tragic as being someone like Andy Ngo who thinks he can escape the pogrom by trying to lead it

      It's not only reprehensible and cowardly to back down from this fight It's fucking stupid Whether you try to embrace neutrality or full-on become a quisling traitor It won't actually work, you won't get the payment for your soul you wanted

      Where I think I disagree here is that to some extent, the far right has gotten a lot better at warmly accepting its token-minority fellow travelers. I mean, not that it's all very conditional, but they'll be showier about people like Ngo.

      Yeah and Ernst Rohm was a whole big Nazi celebrity right up until he wasn't

          I mean, yeah - but Rohm's sexuality was hidden, rather than used in that "even this gay person agrees with us!" like how the current fash use Andrew Sullivan and Bari Weiss. It's still conditional, but they've gotten savvier about it.

          Ultimately, I think it just raises the stakes and makes things more dangerous. And I mean, it's not good either way: it's not like winning the sincere acceptance of Nazis makes it cool to help Nazis.
