The hardest part of the work isn't seeing the disturbing stuff, it's the process of keeping your internal mental garden weeded.

You are bombarding it with seeds from the most noxious intellectual plants imaginable and you have to CONSTANTLY eradicate every tiny opportunistic seedling.

cult-researchers have been warning ppl about this for a long time. a CORE aspect of researching any extreme ideology is strict protocols for making sure it doesn't infect you. human brains are ridiculously susceptible to just accepting as true everything they hear often enough

No one should EVER monitor Nazi space without a strong support network that can check them regularly and watch for signs that the propaganda is taking hold, and address that reality promptly.

Without a rock solid accountability network, it is playing with fire.

This is I think also one of the reasons you (you as in a regular person) shouldn't got into nazi places to try and 'debate' them (or worse, to hang out and check the vibe. I know somebody who radicalized a lot after doing that to neo-nazi metal concerts (not the only reason he radicalized)).

The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat.
And Congress is letting it happen.

What we have here, in addition to Trump's gaudy, vacuous bric-a-brac he has glued to wall in the Cabinet Room, is our monumentally incompetent SecDef telling the most unhinged president in history about an attack on another civilian small boat, this time in the Pacific.

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

And this woman she interviewed now seems to get it

Christ of Latter-day Saints when she first started experimenting with high-dose testosterone and proselytizing about its powers. Although she has since left the church, in part because of the way she says it shames women about their sexual desire, she has many friends still there who take high doses of the hormone. “I’d never really sat with myself and thought about what I think about gender-affirming care,” Hill said. “But I think everyone should get to decide how they want to live in their body.

But social scientists have found that 52% of all attempts to build autocracies are relatively quickly reversed by democratizing "U-Turns" — and, within the last 30 years, this number has risen to 73%

Ex-GOP Miles Bruner details how he
• worked for the GOP,
• found Trump too extreme,
• feared leaving,
• quit, and now
• urges others to quit.

Miles’ message might resonate with those who consider leaving the GOP:

My Last Day as an Accomplice of the Republican Party

Why I’m leaving the GOP and why I’m urging my former colleagues to do the same.

“It was not until I started hearing from reporters and DC insiders that I realized this tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol,” he said. “I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that — and to insinuate that I did is disgusting. I am already planning to get this removed.”

Platner’s former political director, Genevieve McDonald, who resigned from his campaign last week over her objection to his recently unearthed incendiary Reddit comments, said in a Facebook post on Tuesday that “Graham has an antisemitic tattoo on his chest.”

“He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff,” McDonald wrote in the post, which was reviewed by JI. “Maybe he didn’t know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means.”

McDonald said that Platner’s campaign “released it themselves to some podcast bros, along with a video of him shirtless and drunk at a wedding to try to get ahead of it.”
