"I hail from the left, and am not shy about it: a #democraticsocialist, an out #trans and #queer person, a #union organizer and a #feminist. I have advocated on all of those fronts for many years.

Right now, though, I am disturbed and disappointed by some of my fellow lefties, who have become unwitting tools of White #ChristianNationalists by crossing the line into clear #antisemitism. Some have even convinced themselves that hostility toward #Jews is morally justified.

I’ve seen it on #socialmedia and heard it on the streets: harassment, bullying, and even people openly saying Jews deserve violence or death. Far too much of it is rooted in assigning collective blame for the atrocities of the #Netanyahu administration.

Enough."

"Tennessee GOP governor candidate says he would ban Islam, outlaw same-sex marriage

State Rep. Monty Fritts, a self-described 'Christian nationalist,' also says he would criminalize abortion in all cases — including rape — and deny the morning-after pill to women who are raped.

The Roane County Republican rejected some of the more extremist views associated with Christian nationalism, such as arguments that America should mainly be reserved for white people and that Adolf Hitler was a Christian prince.'

But he acknowledged that he would like to outlaw Muslim calls to prayer and, if possible, ban Islam itself, along with Buddhism, Hinduism and 'other pagan religions.' He wants to treat abortion as murder and would deny the morning-after pill to rape victims.

He would also outlaw same-sex marriage and criminalize some sexual acts between consenting adults of the same sex.

'I just kinda boiled the two words down to a 'Christian' — I am that, I will not deny Christ — and I am a nationalist. I am an America-first, Tennessee-first person. So I didn't think that was a detrimental term,' Fritts said, explaining his use of the term Christian nationalist.

When asked why enacting religiously driven policies is not effectively imposing his beliefs on others, Fritts said it comes down to wanting what is best for his fellow citizens.

'Well, again, it's back to the we want the best for our fellow citizens,' Fritts said.

What quickly became apparent in my nearly hour-long interview is that Fritts is confident he has the right interpretation of the Bible.

'I do think God's law is clear,' Fritts said.

When pressed on the fact that widespread disagreement among Christians — evidenced by the existence of many denominations — suggests the Bible is not universally clear, Fritts responded with a laugh.

Well, Phil, you're gonna get me in trouble with that question if we get off into denominations,' Fritts said."

"As 'moments' go, the 1930s were indeed a time of darkness. Far-right extremist groups, drawing ideological inspiration from Benito Mussolini’s National Fascist Party and the Nazis, sprang up like weeds across the globe. Although chiefly in Europe, they also emerged in the Americas, Australia and the Far East.

South Africa proved particularly fertile when it came to such movements. Louis Weichardt launched the South African Gentile National Socialist Movement in 1933, commonly known as the Greyshirts. Later came the Ossewa Brandwag. In 1942, one of its 'generals', future prime minister BJ Vorster, outlined the OB’s ideological stance: 'We stand for Christian Nationalism, which is an ally of National Socialism. You can call this anti-democratic principle dictatorship if you wish. In Italy it is called Fascism, in Germany National Socialism and in South Africa, Christian Nationalism'"
