I have half-baked ideas for how to improve online discussions with technology, but am unskilled, afraid, overwhelmed at the prospect of implementing them.

He/him but it's not really important to me.

When Trump openly and repeatedly exclaims that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” or shares a video calling for a “unified Reich,” he is literally echoing the language of Hitler.

Trump is not a “populist.” He’s not a “strongman.” He is a fascist.

Use the word.

The mainstream needs to start publicly refuting any idea that race exists. It's the only way.

I used to think racists were people who practised racial discrimination, but now I realise racists are actually people who believe in race.

The argument has been clearly made since the 1920s by Franz Boas, and it's only a small group of well funded racists who have perpetuated and promulgated the myth.

It needs dealing with head on, but seems a conversation US culture is unable to sustain.
