NPR interview of Pro-Publica's A. C. Thompson, about his documentary Documenting Hate: New American Nazis. The documentary aired this evening, and I provided a link on the previous page of this thread.

Thompson had been examining Atomwaffen, a fairly new far right neo Nazi hate group.



MARTIN: At one point in this process, you sat down with a man purported to be the intellectual leader of Atomwaffen. James Mason is his name. And he told you that he believes - and I'm paraphrasing here, but he believes essentially that President Donald Trump has opened the door for his kind of ideology.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

JAMES MASON: Trump winning that election by surprise - and it was a surprise - I now believe anything could be possible.

MARTIN: Can you explain more about what he said?

THOMPSON: Yeah. So this was a really surprising thing for us because James Mason is a guy who, for 30 years, has been advocating for race war, terrorism and the like. And so when we went to talk to him, that's what we thought he would want to talk about, and he did to a certain extent. And then he said, but, you know, now we have Donald Trump in office, and I'm really rethinking my philosophy, my ideology. And that was pretty surprising to us.

MARTIN: You didn't ask, if I remember correctly. He brought up President Trump.

THOMPSON: Right. And for us, it was not what we expected. We expected him to say, oh, you know, Donald Trump is not extreme enough for me. But instead he said, no, this is a guy that I see a lot of potential in and I think he can be an ally for us. He can be an asset for our movement.

Like racism, sexism, ableism, etc., you can find anti-Semitism across the political spectrum. The difference is that the right-wingers are open and violent about it. Also, it doesn't help that you confuse being opposed to Israel's colonial practices regarding the Palestinians with being anti-Semitic.

I will continue to laugh at your continuing to support right-wingers whose fondest wish is for Israel to get into a war that will end the world, and think of them as pro-Semitic.

Have we offered thoughts and prayers yet for the latest shootings?

Also, right now is not the time to talk about gun control.
