  1. In the wake of last week's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), there have been a number of public reactions from prominent far-right actors across a pretty broad spectrum. I've written up a relatively short summary of some of those responses.

    The short version is that the underlying assumption that they all share -- and that the indictment validates -- is that, on one hand, there is no real threat from the far right, racism and white supremacy aren't real, and political violence only ever comes from the left; on the other hand, groups like the SPLC and others on the liberal-left spectrum are committed to ratcheting up fear of the far right for their own political and financial benefit.

    That theory is just fine for the people who are the most detached from consensus reality (people like Alex Jones and Laura Loomer), because they've largely been committed to the same argument for a long time. For them, groups like Patriot Front can only ever exist as "fed ops" that don't actually involve people who really believe what they say.

    However, it doesn't sit as well with the self-identified white nationalists and other neo-fascists, who basically feel emasculated by the implication that their thoughts and actions are only ever allowed to exist at the discretion of liberal and left-wing entities.

    Anyways, read the whole thing for details, if you're into that sort of thing.

  6. Okay, I did write up a whole thing about the uptick in anti-Indian rhetoric among US-based white nationalists since JD Vance got the nomination. I think the writing isn't embarrassingly bad, but I might still be too sick to know (tho I am feeling a bit better today -- thanks to everyone who expressed concern!).

    At any rate, Medium calls this a 7 minute read, so if you've got that, it'd be better to read the whole thing. If you don't, here's the highlights reel:

    - JD Vance is married to the daughter of Indian immigrants.

    - He even went to far as to produce babies with her, thereby tainting the purity of his own whiteness and that of his offspring in perpetuity.

    - White nationalists like Nick Fuentes and Stew Peters are none too happy about this, and are now losing their petite minds over the "Indian takeover of American politics".

    - This may be a passing thing, but it may not, and there's no reason to assume it couldn't progress from rhetoric to physical violence. (This is not to say that South Asian people aren't already subjected to violence in the US, but rather that this shift in rhetoric has the potential to augment it.)

    - It is also an indication of the flimsiness of "model minority" status and the ease with which it can be revoked.

    That's the gist, but there's obviously a lot more detail in the essay. Make of it what you will.
