> The article is more of an attempt to slander every alternative viewpoint as "racist" by associating it with a fringe element.
Pointing out that these groups are founded by and often run by overt racists isn't 'slander'. And Wired extensively links to other breakdowns about all of the racist nonsense these people are peddling.
> But calling every alternative viewpoint you don't like "racist" is the same failed strategy that led to Trump. Don't you think it's time to try something new? How about actually refuting the specific points you are opposed to instead of simply parroting the obviously partisan viewpoints of establishment "think tank" hacks?
The saying that it takes an order of magnitude more effort to debunk a lie than it does to produce it applies here. The internet is full of thorough debunkings of all of these groups, but they keep churning away.
The false equivalence of grouping NPI with an organization like Brookings is sad and predictable but I guess that's the age in which we live now.
