I thought the story used its access to appropriately portray the Nazis as dangerous shitheads, but the Times' follow-up argument claiming that sitting down with the Nazis was necessary to illuminate the implications for housing law is pompous nonsense, the Nazis are worthless as sources on that!

The word "ironically" would have been load bearing if used right before saying that she "treated him like a human being", but that didn't happen and we can all see their asses

I’d recommend this WIRED piece, which beat the NYT to the punch last week and also roots the development in our fascist moment (rather than focusing on eccentric character details, as if for a trend piece, ala NYT): www.wired.com/story/whites...

We may strongly disagree with Moloch and his politics of "everyone feed their children to me", but it is illiberal to simply write him off without having a reasonable sit-down discussion, to understand the nuances of the situation.

Definitely. Deplatforming Moloch would only prove Molochs point that they have been unfairly maligned and shunned.
