At the time that Nixon was in office, we still had a portion of the Black Power movement and the New Left, anti-Vietnam War white left, still in place and able to push back. That prevented the fascist forces at that time from doing what they wanted to do.
We may have stopped them at that time, but they never gave up. They kept on organizing until we're at the point that were at today.

Famulous #longread by @patrickobrienstrickland.com over at @inkstickmedia.com about Louis Beam, the Klansman and neo-Nazi, and the growth of violent white nationalism we are still dealing with the ramifications of over four decades later. inkstickmedia.com/the-sedition...

The Seditionist: The Rise and Fall of an American White Nationalist
Louis Beam spent decades elevating violence to new heights in the white nationalist movement, then disappeared from public life.

Glenn Greenwald claims that the Jan. 6 pipe bomber was possibly an FBI inside job. His proof? Dan Bongino said so before he was in the FBI, and Greenwald thinks he was well-connected to the security services, and then Bongino recanted, convincing Greenwald further.

True that actually I agree with their assessment on some movement examples, but they still don’t have a good designation of no -violence. Sometimes it seems to mean anything but armed struggle, others it seems only some types of armed struggle. And it essentially abandons anti-colonial struggles.

Unfortunately, that research is insufficient, misleading and dead wrong in many cases. Where 3.5% leads those changes they both don’t follow strict principles of non-violence and often come from more densely organized and unionized communities. We cannot expect mass participation to win on its own.

No one in national politics seems to even acknowledge that full system reformation is required, they can't see that the republic has already been lost, and as such they are the nails in its coffin. Ironically the only case for US restoration would be a sewer socialist campaign at fed level

They really should be explicit in the headline that the rise in South Asian hate rhetoric is stemming directly from the united states government.
Screenshot from article: “A recent example came last week when the Department of Homeland Security posted an image on social media depicting an Indian man with the words "Get off our roads, you don't know how to drive Mr. Singh."”
