Five neo-Nazis attacked a local speaking event of the Left and Green Parties in Gubbängen, #Stockholm, this week. I've joined thousands of protesters in #Gubbängen Square today.
Meanwhile in Canada the candidate for leader of the conservative party is hand picked by former leader stephen harper (the worst leader that Canada has ever had) stephen harper is also the head of the IDU, an organization who's aim is to have an ultra right wing fascist asshole like trump running every country on earth. It would be worse for the common person than the dark ages. #Canada#Canpoli#SquintyMcProudboy#fuckFascism
If you think someone talking about how to fix the imbalances and intentional dysfunction of global monetary and economic policies isn't talking about how to stop the systemic antiblack racist violence of the most powerful white supremacists on earth and how their regime reproduces itself at the source... then you are just not seeing the big picture yet. Take all the time you need, but see it.
Reuters has taken down -- globally -- an important hacking-for-profit investigation that included details about an Indian hacking entrepreneur -- because he got a court in that country to say so.
This is a huge danger to free speech and serious journalism.
Here's one the #BlackMetal community will get: Burzum.
Varg Vikernes is a despicable human being. A murderer; a right wing nut-job; a virulent racist and antisemite; a Wotanist figurehead.
His music was incredible. It was evocative and beautiful (in the way only black metal can be). As far as I could tell, the lyrics never delved into his trash beliefs, at least not explicitly. But then, I haven't heard anything past his two shitty prison albums.
I can't listen to his stuff any more. I can't separate the music from him. Especially knowing that he benefits from streaming. If it shows up on a playlist, I skip it.
Here's a tip to save your ass from legal issues and public scorn: if you're writing a forward for someone's book, maybe read the fucking thing first so you don't have to make up some bullshit about how you wrote it as a favor for a friend. #SpeakerJohnson#FuckFascism
Waking up to screenshots of #CarymaNgo whining about other fashy assholes also being blocked from filming in left spaces is a treat. 😄
If our "hate expert" didn't have such a raging case of Dunning-Kruger, she might have figured out by now that the band of right-wing assholes she followed around like a puppy for two years aren't actually community-focussed.
I feel like a smarter person would have figured that out from the fact that the "right" they were fighting for was: To Give Everybody Covid.
Also, the other teeny tiny detail that she's whining about protests from as FAR AWAY AS AUSTRALIA, ought to to trigger some sort of analysis in someone who was used to figuring these things out for themselves instead of outsourcing it to the nearest person with a common enemy, that MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT AND NEVER HAVE.
But no.
I'm sure that the brain trust she has surrounded herself with will come up with more hilarious theories about how CAHN and myself have "infiltrated" leftist spaces GLOBALLY.
Imagine if they had enough firing synapses between them to search and see if anything like this has ever happened before. 🤔
Nah, this is definitely all just to thwart her, personally. 🤷🏾♀️
I'm convinced Putin's plan was to cause a Western distraction in Gaza and then go on the offensive in Ukraine...
All of that just happened, but Putin didn't count on getting his ass kicked by Ukraine when Russia just started its biggest attack since the start of the war!
Russia lost approximately 1,030 soldiers, 44 artillery systems, 26 tanks, and 49 armoured combat vehicles in the past 24 hours! #AureFreePress#Ukraine️ #Russia#Putin
German guy coming into a pizza place in Belgium. Orders in French, exchanges the few crumbs of Italian he's learned with the maître, both laugh, continue their conversation in English.
Yesterday I heard a seasoned, marxist-leaning, purportedly radical organizer say that we had to do such-and-such intervention so as to avoid falling into fascism in the so-called United States. Even then, twenty-four hours ago, it rung hollow to me, or more accurately, dangerously naive and almost willfully ignorant.
Today, a US-style fascist shot an Indigenous person in so-called New Mexico at a prayer+demo against the reinstallation of a monument to colonizer Juan De Oñate, dethroned three summers ago during a time of uprising. Back then, in 2020, another US-style fascist shot an antifascist in so-called New Mexico at a demo to tear down a monument to colonizer Juan De Oñate.
It’s not just that an Oñate statue has now twice inspired fascists to try to murder people, as if the ghost of this colonizer was pulling the trigger too. Nor is it simply that some of the same anticolonial and antifascist folks were there both times, in person, or in close geographic proximity, likely intimately feeling the reverberations of trauma in their bodies, minds, and hearts. It is that, yes, of course. Whether fascism or not, no one should have to live through (or die for) this, even once.
But it is fascism. Not “falling toward” fascism, but an in-place Christo-fascism that has a long lineage of colonizer, slave trade, white supremacist, antisemitic, capitalist, racist, homo+transphobic, and patriarchal ancestors, among other killer kin like police. This US-brand fascism—in league with fascist allies around the globe—may not have fully taken hold, but it’s already here, banning books and surgeries, using a pandemic and prisons as testing grounds for even wider genocidal aims, and tossing out rules (such as they were) of law, elections, and Supreme Court, to name a few glaring “hints.”
It’s hard enough, to put it mildly, that liberals and progressives can’t see fascism, and thus become its willing executioners, even if passively. But it feels horrifyingly enraging that non-anarchistic radicals still believe we’re in pre-fascist times and thus do too little.
@flexghost In this case, I am going on the assumption that Disney cannot afford to let people forget they are Not To Be Fucked With so that other politicos don't try the same bullshit anytime soon. Good fences make good neighbors, but sometimes you have to nuke someone from orbit so everyone can see why your fences are there to keep you in, not keep them out.
On the evening of January 24, three sheriff’s deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi, received a group text message from another deputy on the same shift: “Are y’all available for a mission?”
It's just as I thought. Monique Worrell didn't do anything to warrant being suspended by Ron DeSantis. He is unconstitutionally removing Democrat elected officials and replacing them with his allies.
So far he has gotten away with replacing Andrew Warren. He is busy appealing a decision not to reinstate him due to his technical violation of state law. That violation? Refusing to prosecute women who seek abortion services and doctors who provide them.
