What is happening with editorial boards is not normal. You need to understand this first.
They are not part of the newsroom, so anyone telling you that is lying. What happened at the LAT and WaPo are the beginning. Have you not read history? They come for you. You just think it’s more steps away.
A non endorsement is an endorsement in itself.
If you sit at a table with 9 other people and 1 is a Nazi and nobody says anything, you’re at a table with 10 nazis.
I had an early friendship tested one night unexpectedly because our friends contractor (an English ‘expat’) started confiding in me after quite a few pints about some actual Nazi shit which I nipped in the bud but would not let him off the hook-our conversation was mostly between us but my friend caught enough of it (and a follow up conversation later) that the Nazi is no longer his local contractor.
Fuck these guys.
People regularly fail to grasp this.
I spent a semester in apparently Northern Germany. You saw a Nazi, you got the fuck out. They’re going to win.
