Prevalence of Nazi imagery and ideology on social media can be desensitizing for others, CSUSB professor saysCNNMarch 8, 2019 Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, was included in an article about the visit of Anne Frank’s stepsister with students at Newport Beach in the aftermath of a social media post of students making aNazi salute next to plastic cups arranged in the form of a swastika. The prevalence of Nazi imagery and ideology on social media can be desensitizing for others, Levin said. 'What disturbs me the most about some of these photos and videos is how relaxed these people are at parroting the most bigoted views that we used to see really parroted at places like skinhead rallies,' he told CNN. The current divided political landscape will not help, he said. 'What I saw was how the combination of ignorance, evil, shock and peer validation can come together at a time when the social political landscape is about othering and polarization. And what happens is there's a race to the bottom because we don't have civic moral leadership in this country that sets a standard as to what's acceptable communally.'Education in schools and communities could be a way to change it, he said, but that will take time. Levin appears at about a minute and 12 seconds into the online video report. Read the complete article and view the online video at “Anne Frank's stepsister meets the teens who partied with a swastika.”
