Sporadic instances of right-wing violence have occurred for hundreds of years. Random violence in general is simply a constant of American life. But rather than deal rationally with this reality, emotional manipulators whip up grand narratives to serve their political interests

Is this about the nazi stuff? I think you're severely downplaying the role they've played systemically. Focusing simply on violent acts - that we know of- leaves a lot out of their growing movement. Their social media, infiltration into law enforcement, courts, the white house...

Just remember how that occurred, could you simply relate the state of Germany after WW1 and the imposed treaties? With no nuanced view of the causes you can't but fail at correlation. Times have changed. Humans have not. This is where we are now:pic.twitter.com/ne9D0CfgWO

Great 5 Part documentary on all of this entitled "Counter-Intelligence" by http://www.metanoia-films.org . After watching the ~8 hours of withering content my disgust with the continual ruses served to the masses is further cemented. The graphic death depicted at points is gut wrenching

True! Neocon theory talks about the outside "threat" that rallies citizens against a common "enemy". The enemy could be "in caves" in Afghanistan, at the border seeking asylum or a "dirty" bomb. If people are afraid, they'll always need a military to "protect" them.

It would be great to see you focus more on this kind of political phenomenon. And less on shrieking about the Mueller Report.

Threat inflation and suppression of populist movements were the tactics that brought actual Nazis to power. The respectable, centrist blue checks who scream Nazi! all the time are the real fascists. https://libcom.org/history/street-politics-hamburg-1932-3 …pic.twitter.com/tpvrtjsrNN

Fun fact: Tracey objected to Trump's Charlottesville comment because he thought all the good people were on the Nazi side

That should be: Thank you Michael for offering a contrarian opinion different from, the deluge of the Massively Sinister Media's narrative, that is based on your honest assessment of the issues.pic.twitter.com/T4jt9f6tgj

Both threat inflation & threat deflation have been a part of US Politics. Human beings tend to over-state risk AND understate it in other cases. This is one of those instances were "You're right" Michael - but only because both binary possibilities are a constant of US politics
