Slavery was Racist

From this Harpers' article 'Who Goes Nazi?' from 1941:

Kind, good, happy, secure people never go Nazi. Believe me, nice people don’t go Nazi.

Their race, color, creed, or social condition is not the criterion. It is something in them.

Those who haven’t anything in them to tell them what they like and what they don’t—whether it is breeding, or happiness, or wisdom, or a code, however old-fashioned or however modern, go Nazi.

Who Goes MAGA?

With apologies to Dorothy Thompson, whose 1941 essay in Harper’s, “Who Goes Nazi?” remains a worthwhile read on the cultural archetypes of who is drawn to fascism, and who would never go down such …

Columbia has a 14 billion dollar endowment. They don't need to appease the administration, so I suppose it's not terribly shocking that they've admitted to the WSJ that they want to collaborate.

Seems to be a commonly shared sentiment. #WhoGoesNazi

Trying to preempt Trump's illegal impoundments of university grants by purging Palestinian rights activists before so much as going to court leaves the universities with less to bargain with when the time comes to stroke the orange baby's ego with a 'win'.

The cowardice is only superseded by the stupidity, tho I suppose they may have purged the Palestinian rights activists regardless of which Zionist won the election.

"When you read about the coastguard admiral being *evicted* from her home with 3 hours notice, bear in mind that 'ordinary Americans' followed the order to carry out that eviction.

None of them said "this is crazy" and quit.

Very few will."

Dorothy Thomson: "Who Goes Nazi?" is as worth a read today as it was in August 1941.

Onward, Christian Soldiers—To War!

At this year’s National Conservatism Conference, a right-wing army prepares to rise.

In These Times
> Mr. B has risen beyond his real abilities by virtue of health, good looks, and being a good mixer. He married for money and he has done lots of other things for money. His code is not his own; it is that of his class—no worse, no better, He fits easily into whatever pattern is successful. That is his sole measure of value—success. Nazism as a minority movement would not attract him. As a movement likely to attain power, it would.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Harper's Magazine

#WhoGoesNazi read this piece, written by the first female journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany, #DorothyThompson she sets the reader up at a gala. Each person we meet is a letter of the alphabet. Which letter would you be most similar to? Your neighbor? Brother? Auntie? (Ps. I don’t know who shared it first, but thank you. It is so helpful to understand the human nature, & background that helps create the #Nazi).
