vice

No one miscontrued anything, you made a joke that was super bizarre and offensive (thus so memorable) even by the standards of the bad old days of ILX and don't like being reminded of it, which is one reason your schtick of bringing up old weird grudges is so strange.

There is no direct line between a Vice interview from the first Dubya admin era, not even available on the internet and forgotten by everyone but you with a band (that had already dissolved and the two people reformed by the early 2010s) and Trump. White nationalism didn't need an interview in a Canadian magazine to establish a foothold in the US, you might say it's a foundational aspect of the country.

xp - don't even know about paying for on-camera personalities, the HBO news show and cable channnel are both dead aren't they?
