And its gaze is a fearsome thing, a twisted thing, one full of boredom and anger that have calcified into hatred."-Talia Lavin, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy
"We tend to like our noble lawbreakers to be comfortably in the past, where time and death have sanitized them into heroes, and to suffer those who struggle against injustice in the present only grudgingly, if at all."-Talia Lavin, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy
"The worst people are still people; their humanity is impossible to disregard, but it does not absolve them. If anything, it makes their choices more abhorrent, surrounded, as they are, by the banality of a life indistinguishable from other lives."-Talia Lavin, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy
"Despite the fact that [...] 71% of murders related to extremism in the United States between 2008 and 2017 were committed by members of far-right or white-supremacist movements, federal authorities have maintained a sustained myopia toward white terror."-Talia Lavin, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy
