The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right
Product Description
Drawing from his extensive reporting on right-wing groups, David Neiwert argues that the conservative movements alliances with far-right extremists have not only pushed the movements agenda to the right, but have become a malignant influence thats increasingly reflected in political discourse. The result is a pathology Neiwert calls pseudo-fascisma political style that talks and acts like fascism without its core violence and thuggishness. The author argues that only effective response is a rhetoric of peace and not a surrendering one, but the kind of peace that stands up for human values, civil discourse, and basic decency.

2. the author's suggestion is to tell the bully we feel their pain?
Fuck that liberal-wimp bullshit. Fascists should be taken out to the courtyard and thoroughly beaten.

3. That would be very satisfying but not effective.
But you can stand up to bullies and never give an inch on principles without resorting to violence.
Gandhi and MLK did it quite effectively.
