Dave Neiwert’s holding a fundraiser at his blog Orcinus. Like many, he’s suffered the ill effects of the great blogroll purge, which is a shame because he is, bar none, one of the best writers on the intertubes. He covers a topic in depth that few in the mainstream media even acknowledge, the rise of right wing extremism and its effects on our society. Not only that, but his coverage of that subject is as deep in its analysis as it is broad in scope. I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from reading him over the past several years. His recent series on the mainstreaming of right wing eliminationist rhetoric, “”Eliminationism in America”, is the definitive online study, as were his earlier series “The Rise of Pseudo-Fascism” (caution: pdf link) and “Rush, Newspeak and Fascism: An Exegesis” (also a pdf file). More than just a valuable resource, his is an essential voice in the online progressive movement.
If you have some spare change to throw his way please do so at the paypal link in the left hand margin of his blog’s home page. Thanks.
