Husband of CT Democratic candidate maintains ‘pro-white’ blog supporting ‘Aryan Skynet’

The husband of a Plainfield Democrat running for a probate judge seat in Connecticut is a former neo-Nazi who currently runs a pro-white blog, The Bulletin reports.

Anna Zubkova is married to Rob Freeman, a former member of the National Alliance who currently runs a blog called “Mindweapons of Ragnarok” in which he discusses the role of white people in an imminent apocalyptic science-fiction scenario that he calls “the Aryan Skynet,” a reference to artificial intelligence responsible for the destruction of the human race in the Terminator franchise.

In a post responding to his “outing” as a pro-white advocate, Freeman notes that he is “pro-white because so much out there is anti-white. I am defending that part of my identity that is being attacked, I am defending my own, and I welcome all sincere allies — Black, Hispanic, Jewish, Asian, Muslim, Arab, Persian.”

“I am not attacking other races,” he continued. “I am defending my own.”

Haven't we all moved on from that?

Besides, rich white folk in Connecticut are hardly oppressed or endangered.

I'm getting tired of trying to explain to people that complain that they're "being taxed to death to support inner-city crackheads" that you can't claim to be oppressed while being being free to live your life; able to vote; and living in a $1M home, making $250K/year and driving a Maybach. (I unfortunately have no delusions that anybody is winning my hometown except Tom Foley.)

I don't drive, live off investments/trusts/family-wealth, and do live in a $1.2M house. I also don't complain about my taxes because taxes are the cost of not living in a shithole like Sam "Tax Destroyer" Brownback has turned Kansas into.

While I'm not old wealth, I'm living a firm middle class lifestyle by myself. Sure I pay higher taxes as a single person, but my life is very comfortable.

And we get a lot for our taxes. State funding subsidizes items all over the place like LED light bulbs. I can buy a 60 watt equivalent for $3. We get good highways like route 2 and finding for the road repairs needed every Spring. Local taxes pay for a kick ass winter response. Most days I wake up and the town has already cleared passable roads after a storm.

Why people complain about the poor in the cities I never understand.

And sadly, it is. The parties are weird here. In the south there was an obvious divide between parties on most issues and each camp had consistent views. Here it's a crap shoot, especially at the local level.
