Historical scholar Nikole Hannah-Jones is also becoming an expert 'on fascism and authoritarianism and [how] democracies fail'

Nikole Hannah-Jones is disturbed.

Intellectually disturbed, of course, because that goes without saying. But also disturbed by her fellow journalists who are too busy reading up on history instead of reading up on fascism and authoritarianism:

I used to only read history. Now I’m mostly reading on fascism and authoritarianism and how how democracies fail. If you’re a journalist in these times and not doing the same, I’m wondering why.

First off, the idea that Nikole Hannah-Jones is a journalist is hilarious. Even though journalism is largely a joke these days, Hannah-Jones stands out as a uniquely pathetic excuse for a journalist.

But aside from that, her tweet is just flat-out ridiculous.

Her streak of getting things wrong remains intact!

It's all here — the smugness, the self-flattery, the bossy contempt for others. And of course on the substance, the total banality (the dark night of fascism is descending! has been a standard trope of the American Left since the 1960s). She is a parody. https://t.co/sHiANsL4yK

She is a parody. Too bad she’s not the fun kind.

Now you "write" history, your version being fiction. https://t.co/PvqrVZom6C
