Thereās been a lot of discussion surrounding Donald Trump and the so-called āalt-rightā (which is basically a term for white nationalism) in the weeks that have passed since the 2016 election. Many members of the white nationalist group have been outspoken Trump supporters, including the founder of the movement itself, Richard Spencer. Trump has also appointed Steve Bannon as his chief strategist ā a man who has been heavily associated with the āalt-right.ā
The āalt-rightā is known for its extremist and racist views, as well as being severely anti-Semitic. It seems like the association between the Trump campaign and neo-Nazis wonāt be broken any time soon, as his chosen national security advisor, General Mike Flynn, recently met with Heinz-Christian Strache ā the head of Austriaās far-right Freedom Party, which was established by former Nazis after World War II.
The Freedom Party was originally created to be a safe haven for Nazis and Nazi sympathizers after World War II and the Holocaust. In the ā80s, Jƶrg Haider became its leader, and the party took a turn toward right-wing populism with a strong anti-immigration stance. As the New York Times explains, today, the party is āanti-foreigner, anti-Islam and anti-globalizationā making it an appealing party for Europeās far-right ā much like the white nationalist āalt-rightā in the U.S.
It should be obvious that this meeting between Trumpās National Security Advisor and the leader of a neo-Nazi movement is extremely alarming. This meeting calls back to the words of representatives from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, who spoke out after the āalt-rightā held a chilling conference in Washington D.C. praising Trump. They reminded us, through their statement, that the Holocaust didnāt begin with killing ā it began with words.
Unbiased journalism is not pretending both sides are equally valid. Unbiased journalism is reporting the facts even if those facts include that one side is irredeemably awful. False neutrality is propaganda.

Desmond Cole and others are giving a much needed reality check on the hashtag #WhatyoudonotknowaboutCanada (which is largely filled with dismissive Canadian stereotypes aimed at US Voters wanting to flee to the āutopiaā that is apparently Canada).
This election is an excellent example of what lengths white people are willing to go to when they are afraid of losing their status as majority and privilege. White people, consumed by fear, created Trump
