What I Saw in the Darién Gap

I hope, at this point that few would be surprised that such a politically charged issue has inspired inflammatory rhetoric from "fact checkers" and their nemeses.

This could easily devolve into, "turtles all the way down" as cursory searches will reveal similar critiques of the SPLC as well as the other citations.

I don't need fact checkers to know it's bad when white nationalism and Alex Jones are involved.

I watched one Yon's recent videos, I didn't detect any "white nationalism". I prefer original sources over race baiting. We should be capable of evaluating individuals and their messages on their own merit. There are many areas where I disagreed with Yon, but I didn't find any of the inflammatory content your sources suggested. To the contrary, it fits with my past experience with the SPLC's partisan crusades.

I should have left the SPLC parts out because the rest is enough on it's own and you are all focusing on it so you can ignore the rest.

Also I don't understand the argument of calling it "partisan crusades" while sending me conservative Christian sources.
