@CathyYoung63 @BulwarkOnline Surely not irrelevant to point out that Rufo recently congratulated a rock-star fascist & racist on publication of his new book. Impossible that Rufo didn't know what he was doing.

Interesting: Christopher Rufo is now on record as a Bronze Age Pervert fan.

@tribelaw "Now it’s up to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) to decide if he will exercise his constitutional obligations or if he’ll continue as Trump’s enabler." Unfortunately, I think we already know the outcome.

@realchrisrufo @BillKristol I guess "mainstream conservatives" are OK with fascism these days.

And consider this: *If* Alamariu plowed money into stirring up a buzz around the Plato/Nietzsche book, he could *easily* recoup that money via the resulting sales. Like I said: an intriguing way of accounting for a phenomenon that is otherwise pretty baffling.

@MarkShapro @tribelaw Bannon called Macron “a little Rothschild banker.” As we all know, that's exactly how anti-Semites talk.

@wartranslated As I try to show in this recent essay, Dugin is hardly in a position to be calling *other people* Nazis.

@lionel_trolling Worth noting that one prominent pol actor who yearns for “American Völkisch” is *Bannon*. Very clear in the Bannon-Dugin conversation related by Teitelbaum in WAR FOR ETERNITY. Bannon: "liberals & globalists" have wrongly interpreted U.S. as a nation defined by republican ideals.
