... The links are real, even in the mythology these groups develop is invented ...You're changing your position, somewhat. Now you want to say that in some vague, nebulous way, these groups are linked by a common mythology--this is a claim too weak and too general to argue against, because everything can be linked to gnosticism, from the New Age movement to the original Star Wars trilogy to the Golden Dawn to early Protestantism (Bogomils, Waldenses, Anabaptists etc.) etc., etc. In which case, you don't even need to cite this article to make your case. My question then becomes, why?--instead of appearing to endorse the narrative of a white-supremist, why not simply make your case on stronger, more reasonable grounds?
