Playing D&D in an actual castle would be cool.

Correct. Brimelow's purchase of a castle in W.Va. using not-for-profit money was illegal under New York law (where VDare's group was founded).

I've interviewed one of those GLRockwell fans. You'll never guess what he did for a living after he got out of the fascist activist business in the late 1960s. He worked as an HR professional for a major US corporation for multiple decades.

It's likely that many of those menacing messages and antisemitic acts of vandalism in the early 1960s were committed by some of Huss's followers, like these two young fans of George Lincoln Rockwell who were also proteges of Huss and his fascist circle. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/speaking-a...

Speaking at Reed College in 1965, a Portland Nazi floated the idea of building a barbed-wire topped wall along the entire Mexican border. The audience erupted in dismissive laughter. Not so funny now.

Walter Huss came by his use of racist menace honestly in that he had been a Silver Shirt in the 1930s and had ties to a range of violent right wing extremists from the Minutemen in the 60s to the Posse Comitatus of the 70s to the Patriot Militias of the 90s. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/silver-shi...

The political world view of Walter Huss (1918-2006) was formed by the pro-Hitler, fascist organizations that flourished in late 1930s Portland...here's why that matters.

What got me thinking about this was the uptick in Trump and Vance's violent, racist rhetoric around the issue of immigration that has incited a wave of death threats and other acts of intimidation across the country. It all feels genealogically connected to the history of the Klan & US fascism.

Wow it would sure be bad if you worked for an organization that unquestioningly runs cover for every stupid fake right-wing controversy from organized retail theft to trans panic to campus wokeness

Well said

This is where we are right now. But since fascism is not considered an acceptable ideology within the context of liberal democracy, this means that the legacy media have to either report the truth, which would automatically lead to the conclusion that the Republican party is no longer a legitimate political party in the context of acceptable political action within the context of a liberal democracy, or they have to continue to treat the Republican party as legitimate, which requires lying every day all the time about everything that is actually going on in this country.

Exactly. How could any minority student expect to be graded fairly in her class?

He didn't implement that, because it would've gotten X kicked out of the App Store. He's probably going to have to wait for Trump to get back into the Oval Office to fully make the crosses on X crooked.
