I see we're going to do for patriot & militia movements the same things we did for Richard Spencer, love to see we've learnt nothing since Josh Harkinson's "Richard Spencer uses chopsticks to deftly pluck slivers of togarashi-crusted ahi from a rectangular plate" profile in 2016. https://twitter.com/existentialfish/status/1300518037330767880

Either you talk to these people to challenge them directly or you don't talk to them at all. Allowing them to define themselves on their own terms, terms completely divorced from the views and violence they've been responsible for for years, is the worst kind of irresponsible.

Gibson gets a low stakes interview on MSNBC, yet no journalists want to meaningfully engage the central thesis of a book about property as racial management when things are being damaged in historic mass protest and the likes of Gibson are showing up to "defend" and shoot people!

"Both sides" is a fallacy, the idea of dually objectionable bodies of politics "on the left and the right" is just cover for the fact that the state and the commentariat are really just invested in maintaining the current political order.
