"Lucian Wintrich <http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/48-hours-media-troll-who-is-part-white-house-press-corps-997040>, of the rightwing site Gateway Pundit and a scheduled speaker <http://www.dailycal.org/2017/09/18/uc-berkeley-releases-updated-list-speakers-free-speech-week/>, told the Guardian organizers knew as long as a week ago the event could not proceed." Wow. I knew Lucian was a hipster weirdo but I didn't realize he was this involved with the far-right. He graduated in my class at Bard in 2012. We had mutual friends. In fact, if I remember correctly he invited us to his apartment to hang out right before graduation. It was really weird, his dad was there and yet that didn't stop him from inviting all of us to snort coke with him (I declined). I heard some buzz that his SPROJ (the senior thesis Bardians have to write before graduating) was about using new media to advance idiosyncratic politics but I didn't really follow it. Super strange. - Amith On Sun, Sep 24, 2017 at 8:13 AM, Louis Proyect via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > This is a fascist threat?
