EDITOR’S PICKS
The Wrong Lessons From El Paso


With the country still reeling from the horrors of back-to-back killings in 
Texas and Ohio, our writers reflect on what the country absolutely should not 
do in response to the massacre in El Paso.

Reporter Ryan Devereaux responds to calls to  
<https://theintercept.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=43fc0c0fce9292d8bed09ca27&id=0e3494e1ae&e=45228c28c4>
 apply the war-on-terror framework to mass shootings with a deep history of the 
connections between anti-Mexican violence, the white power movement, and 
Islamophobia. This history suggests that it would be a dangerous mistake to 
further empower agencies that have targeted minorities and trampled on civil 
liberties while ignoring the fact that  
<https://theintercept.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=43fc0c0fce9292d8bed09ca27&id=720fda7a14&e=45228c28c4>
 white supremacy is lodged in the White House.

And columnist Natasha Lennard writes that the  
<https://theintercept.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=43fc0c0fce9292d8bed09ca27&id=6b199ec767&e=45228c28c4>
 eco-fascist elements of the shooter’s manifesto are a reminder that we cannot 
let the right wing co-opt environmental rhetoric for anti-immigrant ends.

 From El Paso to the War on Terror, the Dangers of Historical Amnesia
Ryan Devereaux 

The forces of violent displacement and division are again at work in the 
borderlands — and in the White House.

 The El Paso Shooter Embraced Eco-Fascism. We Can’t Let the Far Right Co-Opt 
the Environmental Struggle.
Natasha Lennard 

Eco-fascism has seen a notable reemergence among far-right groups and festering 
corners online in the U.S. and Europe.
