Right-Wing Extremism Won’t Win
The horrors in Christchurch remind us we’ve ignored the threat from extremists flirted with by the “mainstream” right for too long. If we resist them, they won't win.

New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern visits Christchurch on Saturday.
There’s so much to say about what happened in Christchurch, but before we go there, let’s make one thing clear: fascism will not win.
Broken people who stockpile guns and write pompous, rambling manifestos, will not win.
But we also can’t ignore them, as the world’s governments have been doing for too long. Since the attacks of September 11, much of the world has been obsessed with the idea of shadowy Muslim threats lurking around every corner, creating a sprawling security apparatus that it turned on vulnerable, often immigrant communities while allowing white supremacy to gestate unmolested.
