Just catching up with this Harpers nonsense. I see why they didn't name names -- because their argument only works in abstract. The moment you cite specifics, you realize they're supporting mass dehumanization, historical revisionism, and any number of fascist principles.
Fascism sounds great in the abstract, too, when it's framed in this abstract way. Then you notice the bodies it's standing on.
::grumbles in proofreading, seeing two "abstracts.":: That's why I shouldn't Tweet late at night, damn it.
Ah, and it looks like the "you're the real fascist for complaining about fascism!" crowd has arrived. Later than I expected, huh. OK, muting replies! Have a great day, everyone!
