But I am watching tons of Nazis thrill to the idea of mass murder on there.
They're emboldened, and @Telegram gives them a place to recruit, radicalize, and plan to kill people.
With Parler down, there are going to be a ton of white supremacists switching to (or back to) @Telegram, a company that has sheltered some of the worst, most explicitly pro-terror Nazi groups for years now.
RT to tell @apple & @google to KICK TELEGRAM OFF their app stores, too.

I've watched actual terror plots unfold there.
It's where they share printable gun plans and bomb how-tos.
It's where they discuss targets and share vicious, gory murder videos of minorities they don't like.
We saw it after 8chan, too.
This is that window.
The name of the game is to *keep* making it exhausting for the last of the most dedicated true believers to regroup in new combinations elsewhere.
We HAVE to take this shot.
@Apple and @google need to give @telegram an ultimatum: shut down the Terrorgram channels, or we'll shut you down in our app stores.
They literally did exactly what ISIS did on @telegram.
They stole the playbook.

.@telegram offers not just messaging but the option of propagandic public broadcast channels.

First ISIS and now white supremacist terrorists use those to share bomb-making tips & incitement to terror, then use linked private chats to recruit.@apple, @google, shut it down. https://t.co/xUgwhlJN5D

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x
The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x
Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x
The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x
It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
As someone\u2019s who\u2019s read the book, this review strikes me as tremendously unfair. It mostly faults Adler for not writing the book the reviewer wishes he had! https://t.co/pqpt5Ziivj
