Oh my - this Hillegass character is really something, even for a leftist windbag. Just for kicks, I looked at his twitter. Love the attempt to walk back his desire to burn buildings:

"I have been getting some requests for clarification, so I will give those in this thread. 1) The line about burning buildings is pretty mild. It says 'I’m not going to burn down any buildings. I’m just going to walk away.' I believe that no one should burn down any buildings."

Ah yes, it was a "poetic flourish that sounded cool," he says, "until it showed up in the Sarasota Herald Tribune."

Sadly, this man is a typical academic in many ways, bombastic, hate-filled, bust mostly cowardly. I would like to tell him and his ilk that the actual victims of his rhetoric, fascism and hate are the millions of Jews, Poles, the disabled, gays, Romani, and many, many more, their bodies incinerated and tortured, their descendants, long-suffering.

"Cowardly" is exactly the right word.
