Does the article say whether she knew he was a nazi when she spread for the bread?

I had no idea who this person was. A quick wikipedia search showed this:

"Followers of Nick Fuentes began to be known as Groypers beginning in 2019. Fuentes' followers are also sometimes called "Nickers".[3][28] In September 2019, Ashley St. Clair, a "brand ambassador" for the conservative student group Turning Point USA, was photographed at an event featuring several allegedly white nationalist and alt-right figures, including Fuentes, Jacob Wohl, and Anthime Gionet, better known as "Baked Alaska". After Right Wing Watch brought the photographs to Turning Point USA's attention, the organization issued a statement declaring that it had severed ties with St. Clair, and condemning white nationalism as "abhorrent and un-American"." source

So apparently she was a Nazi even before musk went mask-off

Seems like a pretty big omission to describe her simply as "author".

It definitely is a major omission.

~~That would've been around December/January-ish of 22/23, so just shortly after he took over Twitter. I think that was around the time he was first starting to (at least publicly) donate large sums of money to republican politicians. I think 2024 was around the time he first started really going mask-off, though.~~

This is why I failed math class, thanks ripcord.

She sounds like a conservative shit stain herself:

The author, who has been an outspoken supporter of conservative ideologies, is best known for her children's book with BRAVE Books, titled Elephants Are Not Birds.

"Follow Kevin as he learns that even though he can sing, he is not a bird, even if Culture insists that he is," according to the book's synopsis. Additionally, the BRAVE Books site said that they "partner with people of moral integrity, to teach complex Christian and Conservative values."

Doesn't sound like much of an author honestly. A kid is either too young to understand that Kevin is a metaphor for a transgender person, or they're old enough to just be told that mum and dad don't like transgender people.

Oops, you're right. I think I typo'd it originally, and then locked that into my mind as I looked further and never corrected myself. Either that or I assumed a human pregnancy is 21 months.

One of my favorite recent trends has people being all annoyed when others pull the Nazi card to describe actual neo-nazis. I know that Godwin’s Law is a funny thing and all, but like, there are actual white-identity fascist out there doing stuff. You do realize that, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah but describing it with just one word is very simplistic . Even that there are many other history events to mention .
