I open up my textbook to read chapter one and what do I find? Is this the great replacement theory within the first 10 pages? Sure looks like it!

Also bonus advocating for countering "radical islamist groups" by "military and ideological means"

I haven't gotten a good feel for this prof but we are not off to a good start

Edit: Looks like I pirated the wrong text or something, I found the one my prof wants us to use and it's very different. Not sure why the two editions are so dramatically different but I'm still keeping an eye out for any fash shit

I'll see about back channels.

I think in general I have a problem where I have only 2 modes: talking to well meaning libs mode, where I hide my power level but use the Socratic method to get people to ask the right questions and radicalize themselves, and talking to NATO apologists mode where I just treat them like they're actively flying the AC 130 that struck Kunduz Hospital (which, considering how many future MIC engineers I talk with, is not even a disproportionate characterization). I don't think either is really appropriate if I'm calling him out by myself, but maybe if I have a little support it can be a little better.
