Richard Hanania’s view of America versus America.

But I am assured by Serious Thinkers that he’s a moderate, thoughtful, important voice, and it’s so crucial to take him seriously. So very Serious, such Thinkers, every one.

@Popehat wait, I thought he was being a racist shitbird under a pen name...he was also a racist shitbird under his own name?

This Man Has The Ear Of Billionaires — And A White Supremacist Past He Kept A Secret

Hanania is championed by tech moguls and a U.S. senator, but HuffPost found he used a pen name to become an important figure in the “alt-right.”

@yetanotherjesse He was a slightly more genteel racist shitbird, Jesse, the sort that impresses venture capitalists and rich dudes with Nazi memorabilia collections.

They just love WWII history! It just happens that a lot of it has fascist iconography. Don't make it weird.

[because this toot will be floating without its original context: absolutely do continue making it weird]

@marcas a superlative response

@marcas @Popehat @yetanotherjesse

I guess we know what that scene would be like if glinner wrote it today.

@jonhendry @Popehat @yetanotherjesse Yes. Glinner's a bit like David Icke, isn't he? Each was good at something once, long ago, something worthwhile and wonderful. And then each went absolutely off the rails and devoted himself utterly to something completely different, something vile and pernicious.
@yetanotherjesse @Popehat someone is going to sit him down and explain about using subtext…and plausible deniability.

@yetanotherjesse @Popehat

Like a Klansman wearing a robe with an iron-on of his own face on the hood.

@yetanotherjesse @Popehat

Probably with an iron-on of the little round green guy with his middle fingers up, on his chest.
