Sometimes a picture or two is worth a thousand words. Here’s a combination of words and images from Milo Rossi on YouTube that struck us forcefully:

We also want to shout out to Austin Archer, as always, but particularly for his “brief recap of the last 48 hours” video, in which he goes against the grain of online content creators by saying the words “Nazi” and “sieg heil” and “Hitler salute”, because he isn’t afraid of being demonetized for “unacceptable content”. While most commentators are getting around these words by saying “he did what he did, you saw what you saw, it is what it is”, that in itself is an accommodation of the fascism that was done, seen, and is.

Historians don’t shy away from using appropriate terminology to describe events. Saying those words aloud is part of what we’re doing right now.
