Take on The NY Times Nazi piece.

The world is in an uproar about the article in the Times which they say normalizes naziism in 2017. I read the article, before knowing the criticism and actually found it to be interesting. I get that we need to hate everything nazi but seeing that these animals live right amongst us is actually a bigger lesson. In his political climate, extremist views seem to have become more normalized anyway, the alt-right has a seat at the table, Sebastian Gorka was an advisor to the president of the United States. People are more comfortable coming out of the shadows and hating Jews, blacks and gays and I do think it's important to analyze why and how that is allowed to happen.

I remember during one of the last seasons of Breaking Bad when they got involved in the entire white supremacy story line that I thought it sort of jumped the shark because it was just so unbelievable that this culture even existed, little did anybody know that it was just bubbling up right underneath the top layer
With that said, all the criticism the NYT gets for being too liberal and fake news might finally be getting to them and I wonder if this was a tactical decision to be able to point to when the next volley comes in from Tweeter in Chief
