How NOT to apologize: "We regret the degree to which the piece offended so many readers." Instead try, "We regret the way in which we wrote this article, which was tone deaf and poorly considered."

This "apology" from NYT is as poorly conceived as the article. It came across as "we didn't mean to normalize him but except for his extreme racist ideas he acts like a pretty normal person". Isn't that the definition of normalizing?
-
I'm also not a big fan of the "at least we started an important conversation" part of that article either. Please, with that, NYT.
-
The important issues were never addressed. What goals do Nazis have and by what means do they plan to achieve those goals? What will be the effect on the nation's demographics during & after? When will they use force? Why should we permit this? Who has authority to regulate them?
-
They want ethnic cleansing. Anybody know of a peaceful way to do that?
-
I've been in this argument several times with "racial purists". They generally have little to offer in response. The examples I do receive counter their otherwise self-proclaimed limited government ideals.

I can't seem to figure out a way how to make 100s of milion people just vanish with no drop of blood. I must lack the imagination /s
-
Nope. You got it right. They want ethnic cleansing and have no problem with killing millions to get it. That’s why they’re Nazis.pic.twitter.com/KsieToIth0

Weak weak weak. I think you and my money/subscription need a time out. Justifying your work here is admitting to a moral equivalency that does not exist and should not exist.

Wait times to cancel by phone is 15 minutes. Wonder if this is normal weekend call volume.
-
Been on hold now 21 minutes.

Took me 45 minutes and two separate “customer service” reps. They’ve made it as difficult as possible to cancel.
-
I also got two reps and it took about 29 minutes total.

Put a stop on the charge on your credit card. When it declines and they want to know why you didn’t renew you get a chance to tell them
-
Was worth the wait. I can multi-task. But disputing the charge was a next step.
-
Glad you got that fixed!

All you need to do to gauge the impact of this article is to go to Mr. Hovater's Facebook page and observe the slew of Nazi sympathizers who have now found a new hero in their online community. This piece did not enlighten. It simply united hate.

This is serious. Overheard at your next dinner party "This is my friend Maria, from Peru... my friend Alexei, from Russia... my friend Liza, from South Africa.... and Eric, he's a white nationalist." OH HELL NO.

I think we need a new rule. WWGD - what would Germany do? Would this article be published today, in Germany? Probably not.
