The whole thing is a lie. If you were to assemble a list, a hierarchy of concerns, where would white supremacy be on the list? Right up there with Russia probably. It’s actually not a real problem in America. The combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country was able to fit inside a college football stadium. I mean, seriously. This is a country where the average person is getting poorer and the suicide rate is spiking. White supremacy, that’s the problem. It’s a hoax. Just like the Russian hoax. It’s a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power. That’s exactly what’s going on.

I mean, yeah, that is what white supremacy is. No hoax about it. It's goddamn exhausting to realize there is no level of "I know you are but what am I" projection that the right-wing media won't sink to.It’s a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power. That’s exactly what’s going on.

Clyde wrote:Sigh. Amber back on her bullshit. She just published an anti-DSA screed in American Affairs Journal, the same super right-wing site that published Nagle's immigration piece. I'm not going to link to it and give them the traffic but suffice it to say, it sucks. Full of ridiculous assertions and half-baked shit-stirring. At this point she's either a crank or a crypto.
(The Amberless episode about the Chicago's teacher's strike was good fwiw)
Membership in the DSA, for example, is no longer a black mark on a Google search; it is a respectable middle-class organization where young, educated go-getters can demonstrate their leadership skills, work ethic, and commitment. As such, it attracts downwardly mobile yet aspirational members of the PMC [professional managerial class], who can very easily trade on their participation in an ostensibly socialist organization for the sort of progressive bona fides that get you that corner office.
