I've seen a lot of statements from bigots along the lines of "white nationalism isn't white supremacy," or "what's wrong with celebrating European culture and heritage?," etc. They hide behind such rhetoric to oppose immigration and multiculturalism, and be general a-holes. 1/

I'm a Classics professor. I teach and publish on Athenian democracy, ancient warfare, Homer's Iliad, Greek ideas of freedom, war monuments ancient and modern, and so on. I also teach the Western Civ survey, and have taught the rise of Christianity. I know Europe and the West. 2/

Second, she wears shirts with references to the Battle of Tours/Poitiers, seemingly oblivious to the fact that her northern European ancestors, the ones who fought at Tours, *were* the barbarians that invaded and destabilized the "classical" Greco-Roman world. 8/
