On the Transatlantic Far Right and Its Reactions to Recent Events in Afghanistan

Articles about far right groups’ creepy admiration for the Taliban have become sort of a cottage industry in recent weeks. It’s a worthy point unto itself, but I also think that discussion has been a bit reductive and tends to reinforce the (occasionally reasonable but often very misleading) impression that any one flavor of “extremism” is more or less equivalent to any other. At any rate, hopefully this is a useful contribution to that conversation.
