Monoculture.
Sending the Limeys, Jocks, Evans and Paddys, as well as their non-male brethren and all their convict relations, home is all very well but we still wouldn't have a monoculture.What Hanson means here is white, white more white, and only white.

A quotation from Joseph Addison
If men of eminence are exposed to censure on one hand, they are as much liable to flattery on the other. If they receive reproaches which are not due to them, they likewise receive praises which they do not deserve. In a word, the man in a high post is never regarded with an indifferent eye, but always considered as a friend or an enemy. For this reason persons in great stations have seldom their true characters drawn till several years after their deaths. Their personal friendships and enmities must cease, and the parties they were engaged in be at an end, before their faults or their virtues can have justice done them. When writers have the least opportunity of knowing the truth, they are in the best disposition to tell it.
It is therefore the privilege of posterity to adjust the characters of illustrious persons, and to set matters right between those antagonists who by their rivalry for greatness divided a whole age into factions.Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101More about this quote: wist.info/addison-joseph/83215…

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions — bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Whoever seeks to set one nationality against another, seeks to degrade all nationalities. Whoever seeks to set one race against another seeks to enslave all races. Whoever seeks to set one religion against another, seeks to destroy all religion.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)

There is nothing I dread So much, as a Division of the Republick into two great Parties, each arranged under its Leader, and concerting Measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble Apprehension is to be dreaded as the greatest political Evil, under our Constitution.

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: I’m thinking of starting my own talk radio show. I’ll spout simplistic opinions for hours on end, ridicule anyone who disagrees with me, and generally foster divisiveness, cynicism, and a lower level of public dialogue!
HOBBES: It would seem you were born for the job.
CALVIN: Imagine getting paid to act like a six-year-old!Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.

@GottaLaff I think #kamalaharris needs better answers for initially reversing #trump #immigration policies. I’d hope it was done for basic human dignity: not locking up 1000 people because there might be one criminal, not taking children from their families where they may never be reunited.
I’d also suggest she hit harder against #maga #divisiveness: foreign (#putin, #murdoch ) #disinformation filled #fearmongering leading to #usvsthem hate.

Hint for Russian trolls:
Put it around that Biden should pardon Hunter.
It'd look so sick (1990s surfie argot) for Joe to demonstrate a complete lack of faith in the US justice system and to put Hunts alongside #RogerStone.
Cyano-cynicism.And then there is the "equality before the law except for the elite" angle.
It's a real winner.

The NABJ interview with Trump provides a model for media coverage
Trump’s #NABJ appearance also afforded #Harris the opportunity later on Wednesday to 🔸rebuke his hateful rhetoric in a way that made him look like a sad has-been. 🔸
“It was the same old show. The #divisiveness and the #disrespect,”
she declared in a speech in Houston.“And let me just say: The American people deserve better. The American people deserve better.”
She continued, “The American people deserve a leader who tells the #truth,
a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the #facts.
We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us.
They are an essential source of our #strength.”🌟That’s how one puts Trump in his place without getting into a personal spat with him.
🌟No other single interview or media encounter with Trump in this cycle has laid bare as much about the candidate or opened him up to as much criticism.
👍Kudos go to Scott and her co-moderators in Chicago.
The NABJ interview also raises a troubling question:
❓What’s wrong with the rest of the media?❓Not one question in the CNN-hosted debate with Trump and President Biden on June 27 confronted Trump about #racism or #antisemitism.
(As to the latter, there has been inadequate coverage
— certainly not on the front page of most papers or headlining cable news
— devoted to Trump’s disparaging comments that ...
any Jew who does not support him is a “fool” and “should have their head examined,”or agreement with a radio host who called Harris’s husband
a “crappy Jew❗️”)CNN’s debate moderators
🔹did not ask about pardons for Jan. 6. insurrectionists.🔹Unfortunately,
too many in the mainstream political media have been 🔹taken in by Republican spin. 🔹The preposterous suggestion that,
after the assassination attempt,
Trump might have “changed,”
entertained as a possibility by far too many outlets(as The Post’s Philip Bump and a select number of other commentators pointed out),
unsurprisingly turned out to be
#wishful #thinking.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/04/nabj-trump-interview-media-coverage/

…(Indeed, almost immediately after #Biden dropped out, close allies & trusted associates to #Trump started directly warning him not to underestimate #Harris as a general #election rival.)
Harris responded to Trump's #racist comments Wednesday evening at an event in Houston. “It was the same old show: the #divisiveness, & the #disrespect," she said. "And let me just say the American people deserve better."

“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago 🔸when she happened to turn Black🔸 and now she wants to be known as Black.
So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Mr. Trump said of Ms. Harris, whose mother was Indian American and whose father is Black.The moment was shocking, but for those who have followed Mr. Trump’s divisive language,
it was hardly surprising.♦️The former president has a history of using race to pit groups of Americans against one another, amplifying a strain of racial politics that has risen as a generation of Black politicians has ascended♦️
The audacity of Mr. Trump, a white man, questioning how much a Black woman truly belongs to Black America was particularly incendiary.
And it evoked 🔷an ugly history in this country, in which white America has often declared the racial categories that define citizens, and sought to determine who gets to call themselves what.🔷
“Give me a break,” said Fred Sweets, a contributing editor at The St. Louis American who watched the discussion from the third row.
“He seemed to be denigrating her background. She knows who she is.”Ms. Harris has embraced her dual racial identities.
She has long identified as Black and was shaped by several Black institutions. She graduated from Howard University, a historically Black university in Washington, D.C., and there joined Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation’s oldest Black sorority.
She has spoken extensively about growing up in what she described as a Black community in Berkeley, Calif.
"She had two Black babies, and she raised them to be two Black women,” Harris told The New York Times in a 2016 interview about her mother.
On Wednesday evening, Ms. Harris responded to Mr. Trump’s comment at an event hosted by one of the nation’s most prominent Black sororities, saying they showed “#divisiveness and #disrespect.”
“The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth,” she said, making no direct reference to Mr. Trump’s personal attacks.
“We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us
— they are an essential source of our strength.”Attacks on Ms. Harris’s racial background have circulated among right-wing figures and Mr. Trump’s close allies for years.
In 2019, Donald Trump Jr. shared a social media post from an alt-right personality that falsely claimed Ms. Harris was
🔥not Black enough 🔥to be discussing the plight of Black Americans during a primary debate.Though Mr. Trump later deleted the post, it spread widely across conservative social media, prompting a wave of accounts to question her background,
👉which was exactly the point of the effort, according to some far-right activists.

#Gallego said in a stmnt that he welcomed Arizonans “to join our team & help defeat #KariLake & her dangerous plan to ban #abortion & hurt Arizonans”
Gallego has maintained a consistent lead in most surveys of the race.When Lake ran for gov in 2022, her abrasive campaign roiled #Republicans. Her #divisiveness & fervent embrace of #Trump’s #BigLie helped #Democrat #KatieHobbs win.After she lost, Lake filed a series of frivolous lawsuits, asserting w/o evidence that the election had been rigged.

This is both sad to see and concerning.
"America, love it or leave it" was the demand and threat of ultra-nationalist Americans for decades.
They saw no space in the USA for anyone who stood against the extreme violence, brutalty and oppression the nation engaged in.
It is those American ultra nationalists who are now #Trumpists.
#ADL insisting that Israel in Gaza can not be validly criticised is a victory for those promoting #Divisiveness, #Rage, #Fear and #Uncertainty.

Been reading about how anti-democracy forces twist social media into a tool for increasing #Divisiveness, rage-farming, fear and uncertainty.Seems we're most at risk of being manipulated in areas where we have higher emotionality. And that the manipulation is commonly done by confirming and supporting pre-existing #Biasias. As distinct from direct attack or being opposed. (Though AIUI anything goes.)
