In any group protesting for something good, if there’s a single objectionable thing said or done, the entire protest is illegitimate. But in a group of torch-bearing fascists, if there’s even one person I think has a valid complaint, the entire group must get a sympathetic hearing.
My favorite part of these is the litany of disqualifying caveats. "Yes the anecdotes I'm cherry-picking aren't representative ... but what if they were?"

The New York Times keeps on normalizing the far-right. Here’s how it presents the extremist whom North Carolina Republicans nominated for governor yesterday. The story barely mentions his anti-LGBTQ bigotry & ignores his misogyny, antisemitism, & conspiracy theories www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/u...

Some people got very pissy with me for saying that their Harry Potter addictions were directly funding transphobia but my point still stands: if you're still spending money on this crap, it is going towards hate & you need to deal with that. www.pajiba.com/politics/you...

I was at a vigil for Nex last night, and during the portion where people could speak an 11 yo genderqueer kid broke down in tears yelling that they're so tired of being afraid and they hate that the world is so awful. I don't think I've ever been less okay. I don't think any of us have been.

/2 The Nazis’ increasingly all-encompassing laws didn’t just serve policy goals. They served to normalize the idea of the state having authority in every segment of life, and to make more and more people complicit in enforcing that authority. That’s what totalitarianism means.

It would be wrong to see this as just a prudish or Victorian or even sincerely religious attitude about sex. It’s about control. It’s about the authority of the state intruding into more and more parts of life, and about making more and more people complicit in the abuse of power. /1
