"AfD is not just Germany’s problem, Vox is not just Spain’s, and MAGA is not just America’s. They are expressions of a single political current, localised for context but feeding into the same transnational authoritarian project." www.euractiv.com/opinion/the-...

It's time European countries start cutting out any tools (e.g. FB) the US is using for a fascist takeover. It's clear that the idea is to dismantle the EU to transform the western and southern countries into Trump's puppet regimes and the central and eastern countries into Moscow's.

YouTube systematically demonetizes queer creators and silences critical conversations by fostering a culture of censorship. But a neo-nazi run street fight channel promoting fascist aesthetics? 1.8 million followers. Just learned abt this from a group I'm monitoring youtube.com/@kingofthest...

It's absolutely horrific to watch the EU go from the GDPR to expanding surveillance with the CSA. We had a tantalizing glimpse that a better world was possible in the late 2000s and early 2010s but those dreams are all up in flames. Only 3(!!) countries oppose the proposal to scan all your chats

Technocrats are consolidating even more power. Calculated and coordinated attacks on global privacy are coming in droves

Frantz Fanon must be beyblading in his grave every time Thomas Sowell opens his mouth

Christofascists will melt into ominous ooze when they hear that before the category of whiteness was invented, various religious leaders like Augustine and Origen, were of North African descent. The African origins of these figures are often erased in theological dicourses.

The "new order" of 1933 Nazi leaders was not just settled through violence and an avalanche of laws and decrees, but also appeals and demands by local Nazis *claiming* to be acting in Hitler's name.

Friendly reminder that the new Nazi leaders of 1933 not only went after the Jews, Marxists, homosexuals, and criminals, but also the *pacifists*

The Netherlands is the largest EU investor in Israel, accounting for two-thirds of all EU investments. It’s also Israel’s top global investment partner, receiving 6x more Israeli capital than the US. www.somo.nl/economic-san...

All the folks who kept saying that overusing the word 'fascism' was diluting its true meaning have aged like milk.

“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.” “I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.” — Francesca Albanese

If they sold ecological collapse the way they're selling an ethnostate we wouldn't be here

AI slop already is such a vicious and effective tool in recruitment for far right groups. We are probably seeing the beginning of it.

Dr. Abdul Basit Khan, a surgeon from the U.S., describes horrific cases of Palestinians who have been killed while attempting to seek aid from Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

"We have to learn to ask ourselves, not what steps can be taken to give military victory to whatever group we prefer [...] the question we have to ask ourselves is: what steps can be taken to prevent a military contest of which the issue must be disastrous to all parties?"

The far right groups that I'm monitoring are surprisingly silent about the ICE's raids. They finally got the gestapo they've been longing for and they respond with silence? Anyone else notice this?

www.dw.com/en/germanys-... "Dirty work" is a dysphemism that minimizes and obfuscates the moral weight of war crimes. A bad precedent. I guess it's not surprising that this is coming from a corporate lawyer who's endlessly threatened and turned his lawyers on critics and journalists.

“Evacuate Tehran” is nothing more than a euphemism for "we won't hesitate to wipe out a terrorist regime's hostages to strong-arm the state into submission. Thus we have no moral responsibility in these crimes against humanity."

Wait a second, isn't a tariff on everyone effectively a sanction on yourself?

So now she's eligible to become president by USA standards

"We do not believe that this was a nazi salute, this is a very sensitive time for the nation" - The ADL, tomorrow probably

There is a level of denial about the radicalization within the German center right because many commentators are looking at the wrong things. For example this op-ed from Jörg Lau of Die Zeit. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... 1/

Every totalitarian regime needs a terror apparatus. The nazi regime built concentration camps as soon as it came to power, using institutions and practices already consolidated by previous governments, as we can see with Guantanamo.

In "The Voice Of Memory" Primo Levi explains fascism's core as: There is only one Truth, proclaimed from above; the newspapers are all alike, they all repeat the same one Truth. …As for books, only those that please the state are published and translated. 🧵

CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Fascist censorship going in total overdrive. Journals better not comply with this. Resist from the bottom up. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

How about a "coup"?

For years, Hungary and the USA's republicans have been exchanging authoritarian knowhow and tricks from the Hungarian playbook (like the CPAC conferences). Getting deja vu watching the gleeful ransacking of the core of what makes government work. None seem to be able to do anything to stop it.

How the hell is it that I've just find out about Led By Donkeys? They totally deserve every donated penny! Check them out: www.ledbydonkeys.org

Corporate authoritarianism is perfectly consistent with radical-right ideology and even contributes to (far) right-wing political objectives by e.g maintaining and extending inequalities in society; discriminating against marginalized people, curbs on press freedom, control of the media, etc. /1
