Bad wording on my part. What I meant to say was Miller cares primarily about inflicting cruelty and suffering on brown people, and much less about some ideological "advancement of the white race", which is why he's both a white supremacist and Jewish.

They aren't Republicans, but they ARE conservative by any measure. The Democrats represent the full range of sane, but often wrong, people. The Republicans represent the crazy right fringe.

The problem is that Republicans are still the largest threat to human civilization the world has ever known, so completely wrong, but sane, people end up being quasi-allies.

We can just thank them for their service towards advancing our agenda, and tell them not to hit their rear end on the door when the Republican party stops being the party of white supremacists, Nazis, and dominionist zealots.

In a sane world, the Democrats would be the *right-wing* party among the major parties, and the Republicans would be a tiny fringe.

Well that and he's not a real nationalist because a real nationalist doesn't kill their own people. Which...uh...that's certainly an interesting definition.

EDIT: Also she said Hitler was for globalism and she's against that which...well again...interesting definition

Well, when I started in the game business, it was a pretty small part of the media world. Now it exceeds the film industry in scope.

Case in point, Activision's sales in 1988 were around $70m. Last year? $7.50b.

Gas is close to that in San Diego (at least the premium my wife's car runs on) and even though her car isn't bad at 100k miles, it's making the prospect of switching to an EV a attractive one.

Hitler wasn't a nationalist because he genocided his own people, which is not something a nationalist would do. He killed his own people because he was a homicidal maniac. If he just wanted to make Germany great, that's fine because it's nationalism and nationalism is good. Hitler was actually a globalist because he had ambitions outside of Germany.

So you see,
Hitler = not a nationalist, but a murderous globalist = bad
nationalism = good

If Hitler was just a nationalist he'd have been fine.


(It's totally incoherent don't try and make sense of it)

edit: she's not saying that if Hitler had confined his genocide to Germany, it'd be fine. She's defending nationalism as a good thing by saying Hitler wasn't actually a nationalist.

This is my take too. Miller is primarily motivated by his hate of Hispanics, so he allies himself with the white supremacist movement because they share common goals. But he obviously doesn't share all the goals of white supremacy, because he does recognize himself as Jewish after all. It's similar to how Mussolini was allied with the Nazis, but wasn't a Nazi himself.

Nothing about Stephen Miller is in any way inconsistent with the neofascist ideology explicitly laid out by Steve Bannon (aka Sessions' other fash protege).

This is a hair-splitting distinction and is, in a material sense, utterly meaningless. There were pro-NSDAP Jewish groups. They ended up just as tragically dead as those who opposed the NSDAP. Miller's "degree of alignment" with white nationalism is irrelevant both to us and to his own fate in the final accounting.

I agree it's functionally meaningless, but given that the entire GOP talking point strategy today is "But he's JEWISH!", pointing out that you can support the cause of white supremacy while being neither white nor particularly invested in the ideology feels like a reasonable counter-argument.

Like, it's not an exoneration of Miller, it's just an explanation of his motives.
