During the Bush/Cheney years, if you expressed skepticism about the nature and magnitude of the alleged threat posed by "Radical Islam," you were accused of being an "apologist" for violent jihadists. It's literally the same rhetorical move, with a different political valence

The fact it got even 63 likes is a chilling indictment of our current discourse. At some point it just becomes sad to see.

A lot of people are simultaneously outraged that Trump calls some journalists “enemies of the people”. Yet they turn around and call journalists they don’t like “Kremlin agents”. How are those actions distinguishable in any significant way?

These people are paranoid, ignore them. They need their conservative draconian nightmare to fight against rather than admitting to the existence of the neoliberal capitalist one they’re apart of.

That's just STUPID! Who is supposed to believe this? Domestic terrorism is an ongoing problem, it goes up and down with the economy, no surprise. We should police the threat, like any other, right?

The causes of support for white nationalism are clearly rooted in the socio-economic marginalisation of the white working classes under neo-liberal capitalism. The only solution liberals have to it is to shout at them and call them names rather than fix the system that fuels it

If stats show attacks decreased, that is data point Nazi-specific threat being over-hyped Also, people see a white nationalist in White House w full gov control, along with media arm & rise of right-wing militias So at odds is whether to conflate nazis with rw/white nats broadly

Looks like anyone who questions "The Resistance" is targeted (and called a Trump supporter).

Keep looking for this violent white nationalism and I just don't see it. If it were as prevalent as the lefties say than I should see it EVERYWHERE!!
