Although I can't say I'm surprised, I most confess that I still find it quite alarming how readily American society and the larger discourse will fall for disingenuous nonsense from a fascist with a university degree; so long as he wears a nice suit and uses a sufficient quantity of five dollar words to hide his odious ideals and beliefs. Indeed, in this case I'm openly asking myself just how many times noted sh*tbag nazi "academic" Chris Rufo has to be exposed, before the mainstream American public stops taking his grievances and observations at face value.

The tl;dr here is that Rufo, who is closely aligned with Ron DeSantis, and helped spearhead the plot to chase former Harvard University president Claudine Gay out of public life, is, to the surprise of no one who has been paying attention, a frothing white supremacist who gleefully supports the work of other frothing white supremacists. Which will undoubtedly shock (sarcastic eyeroll) all the rubes and dupes who keep having him on their TV shows, podcasts, and panels while allowing him to present himself as a proponent of “colorblind equality” and a concerned critic of "wokeism" in our society - as if those things, by themselves, didn't make it extremely clear what side he's on and how reactionary his politics are.
At this point, Rufo's fascist ideology and propaganda has been exposed so many times, it's almost not worth the effort to actually dig down into individual examples of such; but in the interest of informing the larger public, you can toss this Jan 31st Guardian article onto the pile. Please do note however, that there's a lot more examples of why this guy is a fricking nazi available online, and the fact that *anyone* continues to take this muppet seriously, and he's still welcome at academic conferences and in professional life, is in and of itself damning evidence of America's larger embrace of fascism and unwillingness to hold clean-cut white guys with a thesaurus accountable for supporting it.
