Whenever an American wants to complain about or argue in bad-faith about immigration from #CentralAmerica, feel free to hit them upside the head with Aviva Chomsky's #book Central America's Forgotten #History: Revolution, #Violence, & the Roots of Migration. Or at least tell them that the source of this #immigration is THEIR country (i.e., US-supported dictatorship, US-led coups, US-funded death squads, the US #WarOnDrugs, and US-fueled and driven neo-liberalism).

Reading "Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate: How the Alt-Right Is Warping the American Imagination" by Alexandra Minna Stern (2019).

Very well written: fascinating, disturbing and revealing.

"This book seeks to expose the underlying logic and implications of white nationalism and its master plan of a racially exclusive patriarchal world. Each chapter of Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate explores a core dimension of the alt-right and white nationalism, highlighting what makes the alt-right new and old. I demonstrate how it adheres to quintessentially fascist ideas of patriarchy, hierarchy, victimhood, anti-egalitarianism, and racial and gender essentialism, manifesting them in the context of twenty-first-century America."
