Living Through Fascism
Rutgers University professor Mark Bray, who studies fascism, has fled the United States after receiving death threats for his work on antifascism.
"It's too late for preventative antifascism," he said. "I think we're in a new era."
Bray, a historian and author of the 2017 book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, was targeted by an online campaign accusing him of “supporting terrorist behavior.”
- A petition created by the Rutgers chapter of Turning Point USA received fewer than 100 signatures.
- Despite this, the petition was amplified by Fox News, leading to calls for his firing and death threats.
One email contained Bray's home address, prompting him to take action to protect himself.
As Bray noted, "I’m not suspected of any crimes. I’m just a professor."
