Members phkrause Posted February 10 Author Members Share Posted February 10 Preying on Young Minds and Normalizing Extremism By the time he turned 15, Peter Becker proudly considered himself “150 percent Nazi.” Peter grew up in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s immersed in Nazi ideology, which promoted antisemitic myths and blamed Jews for society’s problems. Today, extremist groups target and shape young minds online and offline with antisemitic stereotypes, racism, and conspiracy theories—often directly inspired by Nazi ideology. Holocaust history warns of the dangers posed when extremist beliefs go unchecked and become normalized. Join us to discuss these threats and how to respond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Members phkrause Posted June 24 Author Members Share Posted June 24 🙏 Christian nationalism on the march Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios A new Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in classrooms is drawing new scrutiny to Christian nationalism, a once-fringe movement steadily gaining political power in the U.S., Axios' Russell Contreras writes. Why it matters: Christian nationalism seeks to establish a country governed by a fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible. Adherents and allies of the movement have aligned themselves with Donald Trump. State of play: Key figures in the Republican Party have openly espoused Christian nationalist beliefs, challenging long-held ideas about the separation of church and state. Trump's former budget director Russ Vought, a potential candidate for White House chief of staff in a Trump 2, has led efforts to infuse Christian nationalist ideas into planning for a second Trump administration, according to Politico. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said last fall on CNBC's "Squawk Box" that the separation of church and state is "a misnomer": "Of course, it comes from ... a letter that Jefferson wrote. It's not in the Constitution. And what he was explaining is they did not want the government to encroach upon the church — not that they didn't want principles of faith to have influence on our public life. It's exactly the opposite." Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has referred to herself as a "proud Christian nationalist." Axios Explains: How we got here.
