Understanding white supremacy and fascism is essential. I’ve read more books about Nazis in my life than almost any other topic. (Invite me to your party for great conversation!) That piece? Biggest problem is it’s superficial and uninformative.

Yep! Hard to imagine, but obviously possible. An editor was like, really? That's all you got? And that's all he got.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/934607462598107136 …

This is core. Absolutely agree with
@willsommer's point. This is a beat. A crucial beat. It's not to be taken lightly. https://twitter.com/aaronhuertas/status/934608053713932288 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
He hit a wall interviewing that one guy. Okay, do other types of reporting or profile someone else. The only real use of a profile is if the person is a stand-in for a deeper understanding of the movement, and tells us about the movement. Not this one.https://twitter.com/sparky_005/status/934608849905917952 …

Yeah, jumped at me that this was an obvious potential path, not explored at all. Can't be a reporter of modern fascism if you don't understand this dynamic. Profiled guy clearly wasn't about the books he rattled off (bet he hadn't read them).https://twitter.com/GoodmanHarrison/status/934552743179583490 …

Yep. One of many paths of inquiry that just weren't followed, resulting in an uninformative, pointless piece. https://twitter.com/aaronhuertas/status/934613561585885184 …

Yep, the emergent libertarian/white supremacists nexus is fascinating, important, crucial. Fascism is a beat, should be covered by competent, informed reporters who have it as a beat. Problem isn't profiling Nazis, it is doing it poorly.https://twitter.com/estarianne/status/934790443773992960 …
