The mainstreaming of far right discourse 2015 to 2025 in two pictures. The first is from a right wing troll that caused widespread outrage. The second is a supposedly serious journalist just asking questions

Terrifying police violence in Berlin again today, against protestors for Palestine of course. Police in heavy gear hammering away at peaceful demonstrators. And the fascists aren't even technically in power (yet)

In Germany, you can’t make connections between antisemitism and other forms of racism. In Britain, you can’t say they are different. Make it make sense.
