The red-brown alliance is sending out very strong “anti-war” signals today. Take note; these are the people who will 1) sell Ukraine into enslavement and death, 2) undermine and aim to crash the dollar, 3) threaten Medicare and Social Security, 4) promote Putin’s vision of a “multi-polar world.”

Willis Carto, Aleksandr Dugin, David Duke would all be very pleased with these quislings.

A lot of people call the red-brown alliance “horseshoe theory,” which I actively dislike because it implies it happens by accident. A lot of the activity we are seeing is engineered and intentional, and has roots that go back a very long time. Francis Parker Yockey, McCarthy’s speechwriter, really articulated the alliance in the postwar era. And it’s anti-democratic in nature. Watch out for the Republicans, Libertarians, and Democrats who criticize Zelensky and Ukraine today.

@davetroy I still sometimes find it useful in explaining that there are indeed points of intersection/commonality – I hear so much "how can tankies be colluding with the right wing/capitalists when they have nothing in common" – but do you have any recommended reading you can link on the more orchestrated aspects? Would love to learn more and be able to suggest reading to others on this

@aliide the piece I linked is a long detailed account that covers that terrain. There isn’t any other one single accessible source I can recommend right now. Anyway, it’s reductive; can be a way to start talking about the real history of it. But deeper understanding requires a pretty wide survey of sources. Kevin Coogan’s book “Dreamer of the Day” covers Yockey, which will get at a lot of it.

@davetroy ah, I missed the linked piece and only saw the post I responded to. Cheers!

@aliide @davetroy Snyder, Applebaum, and Cotlar are the ones to get on your team. They each have a treasure of info which together with yours will uncover a very important part of this picture. Cotlar doesn’t know too much about Yockey, but he knows plenty about all those that encircled the fella, and fanned his BS.
