It helps to stock up on lightweight concepts for the less-than-Nazi versions of the things you don't like.

For example, "xenophobia" vs. "demographic anxiety." It's pretty normal for people to feel some anxiety when their neighborhood is gentrified, or when they become a minority in their town and lose certain network goods. That doesn't mean they hate the newcomers.

Of course, they might *also* hate the newcomers. "Poisoning the blood" etc. -- but this is something far more sinister than wanting neighbors who speak your language.

I was thoroughly disgusted with the interview which I listened to in part. Darryl’s claim that “challenging the official narrative is illegal in Europe” is particularly deplorable. What he’s referring to, undoubtedly, is Holocaust Denial. And yes: Holocaust Denial is bad Darryl! And the fact you don’t say that out loud is because you KNOW it’s bad and don’t want to defend it.

Most people, I would guess, won’t catch that part. But it was so clearly there I cringed with rage.

Carlson was always a bottom feeder but this is a new level of deplorable
