The Real Traitors: Who Is On The Wrong Side of History This Time?
I have an interesting family history - as I'm sure many of you do - but as I was growing up and becoming more active in politics and commentary + writing, my dad let me in on a dirty family secret.
I’m descended from fascists.
Although.
To this day, I'm not entirely sure if it is true - I have never devoted much of my time to looking into it and what I do know is based on hearsay and may be apocryphal, though handed to me by others in my family who have spent some considerable time and money looking into it and with many documents to prove it.
I do, however, know for a fact that I’m descended from Iroquois Mohawks and at some point in my family tree, somebody in the 18th century was hanged for banditry.
Which is nice.
It might be merely a family legend as told by my dad, although I have no reason to doubt him - but I have ties to Oswald Mosley. Sort of.
