Head-fuck o’the day: “It’s wild that anti-Semitism was a transatlantic export between Ford and Hitler and the Jim Crow South—that Ford was writing all of this in Detroit and Hitler was reading it.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/talia-lavin-in-the-tangled-world-of-far-right-chatrooms">https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020...

“Ford got the Order of the German Eagle. And the systematic racial discrimination against Jews was directly inspired by the Jim Crow laws. It’s a real fuck, isn’t it? America’s done a really good snow job concealing its own complicity in this stuff.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/talia-lavin-in-the-tangled-world-of-far-right-chatrooms">https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020...

The goal of white supremacists is to use their free speech to talk and talk and talk and talk until no one else can talk anymore. Their goal is to kill. They don’t care about free speech for anyone but themselves, and they don’t want anybody else to speak.

We owe it to people under threat to take on risks and call racism out without apology. To make organized racists pariahs. Unemployable pariahs. We owe it to ourselves to be as ruthless as they are.
