My Take
Harold Covington is a genuinely difficult figure to write about. Born in 1953 in Burlington, North Carolina, he was a novelist and podcaster, but he is best known as a neo-Nazi activist who pushed for a white ethnostate, and he died in 2018. I think it is important to record him honestly rather than erase him: here was someone with real storytelling ability who turned language toward division instead of connection. I cannot fully separate the work from the ideology, and I do not pretend to. My take is a sober one, noting his case as a cautionary chapter in how words can wall people off.
