This is a 6-month old video from Taylor Lorenz interviewing the founder of Jubilee. It came across my feed and in light of recent events, contains some interesting reporting on the rationale employed by people who are going out of their way to introduce liberals to fascist ideas.

This interview starts getting interesting around 8:00 and becomes explicitly about platforming fascists around 15:00. The founder goes on and on about "having empathy for both sides" before finally the mask slips and he reveals that he's a former Obama campaign staffer who doesn't like "division." In other words, this reveals that he is an explicitly anti-revolutionary liberal fascist. The project of Jubilee videos is to depress revolutionary sentiments via exposure, essentially. What do they hope to get out of something like putting Mehdi Hasan in a room with 20 Hitlers then? I think what they're accomplishing is that liberals get a little less likely to punch a Hitler in the face when they find one in meatspace, a little more tolerant of being around nazis. In other words, this is the ultimate fascist weaponization of identity politics as a framework. It also functions to help sharpen debate pervertry. One final observation: an insidious thing this guy seems to be doing is equivocating "empathy" with being a debate pervert. Which is obviously not a passable human definition of being empathetic.
