The important difference between a committed nazi and someone who just likes to troll people by acting like a Nazi is that there is none.
This is my theory of what happened: Elon is an overgrown adolescent who thinks Nazi trolling is just hilarious www.vox.com/politics/396...

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"
I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

i think it is very cool that the political press was basically uninterested in the fact that vance is openly adjacent to/pals around with far-right and Nazi-sympathetic maniacs
To those asking, here's Vance's comments.
When news broke that the terrorist in Germany was a Saudi immigrant, Vance implied blame on all immigrants/Muslims.
When it came out that the attacker was an Elon Musk fan, AfD supporter, and anti-Islam, Vance defended AfD.
He's said nothing else about it.

Struggling to find the words for just how disturbing this is.

But suffice it to say that at one point, even Baldoni’s own publicist essentially says “thank goodness people hate women.” nyti.ms/3DoqZSq

It’s crazy how slow media is to pick up on things young people are asking for because millennials were asking for this too….for years! And the 90s babies grew up chronically online as well lol!
Young people are dreaming of a world where they don't have to buy a $16 cocktail just to hang out.

My story today on the state of "third spaces" in the U.S. and how Gen Z and millennials are carving out makeshift third spaces of their own:

"You cannot keep destroying nonviolent movements without popularizing violence as an alternative."

Facts
We are getting presented with a false binary: do we support violence or do we support nonviolence?

The choice here is more about a reality that people have only begun contending with. Revolution is coming. The question is whether we will be participants and if so how.

My latest.
What Kind of Revolution Do You Want?
It's not just about a CEO's murder. It's about the kind of change we want and how we get there. And why we're here in the first place. A message to both those condemning and those celebrating the act.

Understandable. But gender-neutral categories are ultimately so non-binary and gender fluid performers aren’t misgendered.

And it wasn’t just three men who won. It three BLACK men who won. And I think burying their identity is unfortunate.
No disrespect to Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, and Brandon Wilson, all of whom are terrific, but three men sweeping the Gotham acting awards in a year with Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Nicole Kidman, Danielle Deadwyler, Mikey Madison, etc. is why I'm not wild about gender-neutral acting categories.

Yall im starting to think it’s not people having low media literacy or don’t understand satire. I think it’s just people are tired of snark and want earnest conversations. A decade of ironic derision starts weighing on the spirit.

Okay, one more random tip for newbies: if someone quote-skeets (yes, they're called skeets, shut up) you in a way to dunk on your or annoy you, you can "detach" your skeet from the quote, so that it no longer shows.

This is also useful in ending brigading attacks.
