Yes you can blame Trump for the guy in Nashville sleeping with girls under 10 day camping kids dropped off to go to work

rickyholcombe2458.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yes just thinking concrete cure now lol look how long uncured been running Way past what they supposed to

droseph.bsky.social•87 days ago

Bill; have you looked into the mirror, and into your own soul, and examined your own life?

wayneh0813.bsky.social•87 days ago

It’s always a good day to punch Nazis.

hobbidysparks.bsky.social•86 days ago

You played footsie with them to get GWB elected. You have always been part of the problem.

"It was only the warm blanket of anonymity that permitted them to enjoy the fruits of liberalism while secretly poisoning liberal society."

Man... @jvl.bsky.social is good. My favorite writer at the moment.

Well put. And terrifying.

🧵 Identities from Columbus, OH Neo-Nazis on November 16.

kateross.bsky.social•87 days ago

Bill, I got a scoop if you want to help.

macpohl.bsky.social•87 days ago

With an underpinning of outright racism.

Holy shit, Bill Kristol! Good on you. Welcome!

minutello1.bsky.social•87 days ago

I hate this. I've always hated non acceptance of all humans no matter their origins. We all bleed the same.

acab.dad•87 days ago

Hi Bill, if you’re interested in supporting the people who do the work to expose Nazis and fascists, please consider sharing this starter pack of AFA researchers https://go.bsky.app/FP7Yjin

oldsquida.bsky.social•87 days ago

lol

acab.dad•87 days ago

Worth a shot, Rita 😂

oldsquida.bsky.social•87 days ago

we all need a bit of cheering up. thank you

kateross.bsky.social•87 days ago

I strive to be included in such a pack.

I have identities of the flyer drop in North Columbus. It’s looking for a home to be published in.

yanadear.bsky.social•86 days ago

everyone is so worried about black lives matter and trans kids they completely let fascism walk through the front door

beccanalia.bsky.social•86 days ago

Your racism and anti-trans prejudice is showing.

Fascism, the different forms of "Xian" Authoritarianism, white supremacy, & anti-gov't extremism have deep roots here.

T/pursuit of acknowledgement & equality under the law by Black & Trans Americans has no bearing on XRW monitoring.

yanadear.bsky.social•86 days ago

fuck off

beccanalia.bsky.social•86 days ago

The First Amendment allows the expression of all authoritarian and anti-democratic speech & the campaigns that have been waged against the realization of a full secular US democracy than protects and encourages plurality, parity, and literacy in all subjects for decades.

beccanalia.bsky.social•86 days ago

The Democratic Party grandees have been much too insulated in their power to take seriously the need to support a 24/7 rhetorical fight since at least the 1990s (after the founding of Fox by Roger Ailes & the leadership of Newt Gingrich) to combat the rise of anti-democratic framing & rhetoric.

lce.bsky.social•87 days ago

Welcome to Antifa... *looks at notes*... Bill Kristol.

nataliehastings.bsky.social•87 days ago

Someone shared this with me and I thought, THE Bill Kristol?

paultlevin.bsky.social•86 days ago

😂 I’m literally LOL’ing.

skateintraffic.bsky.social•87 days ago

The deaths you caused in Iraq got us here, you murderous freak.

Veterans including "War on Terror" participators were statistically overrepresented at the Capitol on January 6

sibben.bsky.social•87 days ago

This podcast surprised me. I did not know outright support for Nazism was so widespread in the US, far into WWII. Spoiler alert: it was not just Lindbergh.

yanadear.bsky.social•86 days ago

History hit put up a bunch of russian history docs 2nd year into their brutal war and of course nothing about Ukrainian history, they are not the good guys.

sibben.bsky.social•86 days ago

This is the first show of theirs I listened to, but if i listen to more I’ll keep it in mind.

njpatrick.bsky.social•87 days ago

Check out Ken Burns’s the US and the Holocaust documentary. Huge swaths of people listened to nazi-sympathizer Father Coughlin’s radio show.

thrasher62.bsky.social•87 days ago

God I hoped and believed we were SO much further beyond this by now! And that maybe we were smart enough not to repeat history? Now I come to learn that none of it ever stopped. It was always just hiding in the background, waiting to resurface. Makes me feel stupid and naive in hindsight

publicaardvark.bsky.social•87 days ago

I fancy myself a cynic and I have still been a little surprised as just how this stuff has mainstreamed. The possibility was always there, but I really did think mainstreaming open white nationalism would take much more effort, cleverness, and time on their parts, that it wouldn’t be *so* easy.

caseinsensit1ve.bsky.social•87 days ago

I remember growing up, people would tell us they moved to the rural areas specifically to get away from black people. This was during the Bush administration, this wasn't even Obama psychosis.

rheya129.bsky.social•87 days ago

True. In the 90s a neighbor moved to Wyoming from Delaware to get away from the “colored people.” We thought that was a rare thing but sadly it was common and still is.

caseinsensit1ve.bsky.social•87 days ago

White nationalism never needed to "get mainstreamed." It was always the dominant ideology among the right. It's just not hiding anymore.

thrasher62.bsky.social•87 days ago

Sad but true. It dates back to the first settlers in America😕

publicaardvark.bsky.social•87 days ago

Live and learn, I guess.

thrasher62.bsky.social•87 days ago

I think the main cause of this acceleration of Evil is mostly the advancement of social media. Never has anyone been able to send out such hateful misleading messages to the masses so easily as now. Just sayin🙄 and the worst thing is, they all believe it!

sodonewiththis.bsky.social•87 days ago

As a dem in a red area, I completely agree. The avg dem does not really understand the level of hate that exists in these areas. And much of it is supported and taught in church.

cometsncats.bsky.social•86 days ago

I grew up in SoCal, Philly burbs and my 20-30s in NYC

In btw, college in NOLA.
7 yrs ago moved to AZ purple town surrounded by red

Naive college me was shocked that it's still the 1850s in the Bayou

Now, no surprise brown people are still "invaders" yet indispensable (and humans!) to the state

That is really how it goes down.

blfreeman.bsky.social•87 days ago

And I would say about 1/3 of the American voting public is apathetic.

yanadear.bsky.social•86 days ago

what's he doing for Ukraine then?

liberaloifveteran.bsky.social•87 days ago

Ian is good one, so is Peter Fritzche, Claudia Koonz, Paxton, there's a ton actually.

If you're going to read anything, I would read this, it's not specifically about Nazi Germany, but it helps. https://election.princeton.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Paxton_Five-Stages-of-Fascism.pdf
