it is difficult to fully express to someone who wasnt there just how widespread sympathy for assad was on the late-2010s online left. they all just immediately stopped talking about it the moment he lost but it was very ugly and tastemakers who didnt share it largely just pretended not to see it

While I’ve made my feelings about this more than clear, I’m quite upset seeing some centre left people use this an excuse to somehow suggest now Labour is some kind of moral bulwark against bigotry by comparison.

who is ready for the Red Deer People's Republic post-referendum

A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.

The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.

Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.

The US Democrats need to look at their next Presidency as an endless sprint to obliterate MAGA, every day for years. Until the cancer is gone then there should be no time wasted on MAGA tears or conciliation. Only endless justice and rebuilding the democracy. Govern like every day is the last day.

I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.

the idea that the nazis were trying to do in eastern europe what, say, the british did in southern africa, only on a drastically sped-up timeframe, obviously has some merit re: the nazis' other targets, but it categorically fails to deal with their judenhass, which did operate on a different logic.
