     @Kay they fired the member that outed himself as a fascist, right?

     @Kay the book was by Andy Ngo, so there's not really any doubt on that front. (I'm familiar with his work and had the misfortune to interact with him a few times.)

     I'm glad they sorted that out. If there's one thing being in the black metal scene taught me, it's that a zero-tolerance approach to far right rhetoric is the only way to prevent its normalisation.

     @HauntedOwlbear Marshall left Mumford and Sons after his endorsement of a (probably) fascist book.

     I haven't read the book so I'm only going by hearsay.

     Did he jump or was he pushed? Unclear, maybe a bit of both.

     @HauntedOwlbear I'm not familiar with Andy Ngo but a quick look at his online presence only makes me more glad about that.

     In my circles anyone who attacks "antifa" i.e. anti-fascist thinking is on the wrong side of history.

     Who wants to support fascists? 🤢
