Being a Nazi is hard
By David Futrelle
Facing an energized antifascist movement and internal enmities, the Alt-Right is imploding, with its leaders giving up or fighting one another, while followers grow ever more disillusioned by the day.
But the Alt-Right is far from over, and continues its encroachment into the mainstream media; Tucker Carlson’s nightly show on Fox News has been getting ever more explicitly white supremacist. So we can’t let up yet.
Here’s a collection of recent articles to help make sense of the mess, including a selection of my own posts dealing with some of the juicy details of the collapse. Feel free to suggest more articles in the comments.
