A columnist at Teen Vogue has been dumped from her position as a contributor at NPR over her ties to Antifa, the loosely-affiliated gang of thugs known for domestic terrorism.

“I’ve been contributing to [NPR Music] since 2011, but was just told they don’t want me to contribute anymore because my ‘activist stance’ ‘conflicts’ with their journalistic ethics,” Kim Kelly said on Twitter.

“My ‘activist stance’ can be boiled down to a very simple political worldview: ‘Up, up, up with the workers! Down, down, down with the Nazis!’ Seems pretty reasonable to me.”

There’s very little hope for idiots like her.

How many “nazis” are there in America?

How many candidates do they have on the ballot each election?

Is there one “party” affiliation for these “nazis” (Nazi Party USA? National Socialist Party? etc.?).

Is it antisemitism that gets her riled up against “nazis”? Is it violence from “nazis” that gets her riled up?

Maybe she needs to look at political extremists and see who really meets her definition of “nazi”. Islamonazis DO champion the actions and rhetoric of Hitler.

She’s a contributor to “Teen Vogue”?

In what alternate reality is her look and personal grooming something fashion conscious females want to emulate at the cost of hundreds or thousands of dollars?

Good questions. If we were able to ask her those questions she would get a stress headache and ask to be excused from the room.

My ‘activist stance’ can be boiled down to a very simple political worldview: ‘Up, up, up with the workers! Down, down, down with the Nazis!’

This is a slight but powerful embellishment on what Orwell called "control of the language" (as in "when you can control their language, you can control the people").

Here, there is more going on than just a redefinition of a word, there is the redefinition of a concept (i.e., if you are not with them--Antifa--you are a Nazi).

The Left has done the same thing with the term "racist"...

Racist equals "hater" and everyone who disagrees with the Left is a "racist." Here the term "hater" is still a nebulous term which seems to center around the concepts of "evil" or "abomination" or the like.

I’m not familiar with “Teen Vogue” but it sounds like a fashion mag. Does she look ‘fashionable’ by any acceptable standard?

Kind of reminds me of a young Anthony Zerbe in the face.
