video is back up on youtube

I stumbled across this and a few of your other videos on YouTube and I found them to be very entertaining and educational (I learned a new word, palingenetic, which is very rare). I commented on...I think it was this iteration of the White Fascism vid, can't be sure with the takedown and the mirrors...on YouTube and pledged to your Patreon here to try and make sure you saw the comment, before realizing the video...was not in fact from a year old. WHOOPS. I have no idea why when or what content YouTube serves up to me. Anyway longass preamble done here's the maybe-shorter-than-the-preamble comment: The breakdown of white fascism in America was good. The analysis of fascist social psychology was fascinating. At the end I think you might as well have just gone ahead and called the Trump regime a white fascist regime after establishing thoroughly that it waddled, quacked, smelled, tasted, and felt like a duck. What I thought was great, though? Your imparting (to others) the understanding (implicit from the very title) that fascism is not inherently about white vs. non-white or Nazi vs. Jew it is about "us vs. them" is GREAT. This was an idea that I'd long held but struggled to put into words, even though ostensibly putting things into words is my career. It is theoretically--but not by any means PURELY theoretically--possible for the 'us' to consist, oh idk, Asians, Homosexuals, of Trans People of Color: the 'them' will consist of anyone who isn't...that. That is not how it has ever appeared on the stage of world history of course, but it does fit into the framework of fascism: us, and them.

The irony is that if it happened to them, they'd complain about their "free speech" being violated. At least, I'm pretty sure that's irony.
