DHH Is Way Worse Than I Thought | jakelazaroff.com

DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

@jakelazaroff

Had a very similar back-and-forth with all these stereotypes with this account @ kravietz @ agora. echelon. pl

All the standard BS racist narratives about crime (no stats provided), "incompatible values" (few details provided), mutual aid practices, work ethic (no data provided), strains on public services (no details), & tax evasion.

Favored tactic is group punishments for the acts of a few. Tarnishing everyone in a group for rare or old incidents.

Got miffed when tax evading billionaires who exploit xenophobia & fund malign influence campaigns to enrich themselves got brought up.

The use of euphemistic language to dehumanize.

The use of vague anecdotal evidence, years old events, & putting it on a loop like Fox "News" does.

All so senile people like Trump, can be made to think it happened yesterday & all the time.

The subsequent conversations with the mayor of Portland, Oregon are hilarious.

She's looking out her office window at a bright, sunny, peaceful street.

Trump's looking at a TV screen of footage of riots 8 years ago.

Historical events cherry picked to sound like it happened yesterday. Evangelicals still harping about sharia law & a 9th century atrocity in Cordoba

Yugoslavia dissolved into internecine civil war using these types of disinformation tactics. Old grudges revived for elite benefit.

How a Muslim housing plan in Texas became the target of right-wing hysteria

A proposed Muslim neighbourhood was branded a threat, once again exposing the enduring machinery of American Islamophobia more than two decades after 9/11
