A great, diligent article depicting the climate of fear & repression already reigning in Bolsonaron's Brazil, with a focus on the LGBT Congressman who fled his own country in fear of his life (my husband took his place). It's hard to convey for those who don't experience it:https://twitter.com/Travis_Waldron/status/1130114693920624640 …

The idea that CVille was a one off, and that Heather Heyer was the only one attacked that day is ridiculous. Come down from your walled compound and cover the Klan rally happening next week in Dayton.

There have been a large number of mass murders on US soil by Muslims- beginning with 9/11, through Pulse, and all kinds in between. I lived in NYC & know people who died on 9/11. Pulse was devastating for LGBTs. Those who exploit that to exaggerate that threat are grotesque.

So are you disagreeing with Tracey that it was a one-off

Seems that he must disagree with the FBIs take that the number of white nationalist terror attacks in the USA far outnumbered any of the other ones that happened. But Glenn works more on emotions than anything else, especially as he doesn't actually cover anything, just critiques

Yeah, I totally need a coddled straight white liberal like you living in the US lecturing me about the real threats of fascism, authoritarianism, and political violence aimed at minorities and dissidents. Teach me about this, brave rebelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQ-dFt5Wgk …

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about actually covering the thing that you feel fit to comment on... telling people who are actually on the ground covering it in person. I'm quite certain a famous prick like you gets a lot more death threats than me.

Any time you want to compare either the levels of dangers we face from the rise of bigoted nationalism & extremism, or the amount of work we do covering & reporting on what we write about, let me know. Minimizing the dangers we face in Brazil with this idiocy is beyond ignorant:pic.twitter.com/nhojjMdoRm

but yeah... back to the original point. CVille was just overblown. Tell that to DeAndre Harris. Keep imagining that the attack was just one dude. This was taken by me (coddled white liberal) in the police parking garage in CVille.pic.twitter.com/HiW7DnBcKx

This is verbatim what neocons have been saying to smear those of us warning of the dangers of exaggerating the threat of Muslim violence ("he is deliberately minimizing the threat and telling us that it's exaggerated. This is how you minimize fascist violence"). Also:pic.twitter.com/BYyEJfBKHL

Despite this, right wingers act as if attacking white nationalists is an attack on being white (whatever that means)

So if someone said you were being alarmist about the climate of fear and repression in Brazil, what would you say

No, the numbers are actually quite huge, but I still think it's important to keep the threat in perspective and not use the language of fascism, Nazism and authoritarianism recklessly precisely because doing so trivializes it for when it's needed mosthttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/22/brazil-lgbt-violence-deaths-all-time-high-new-research …

He’s going with “you’re underrating the threat of extremism in Brazil” and “you’re exaggerating the threat of extremism in the US” simultaneously, and not only does he not explain the discrepancy he doesn’t even seem to be aware of it

Love you Glenn, but
@mtracey didn’t say we need to “keep it in perspective”, he said the Nazi threat is “non-existent”pic.twitter.com/QlotC5y7Kh - 1 weitere Antwort
