JFC this is dark. For those who don't know, this is the anthem of choice of a number of far right orgs -- especially beloved by those seeking to "take back" the nation by force, so that it can be a white racial stronghold. Real 14 words stuff from the Groypers running the social media accounts.

Powerful new essay by Omer Bartov. On Nov. 10, 2023, Omer warned: "There is still time to stop Israel from letting its actions become a genocide. We cannot wait a moment longer." We did not stop Israel. We must do so now.

This is a very in depth and insightful piece by @austinkocher.com on the Deportation State that Trump is building. I would just say that, while Trump has been silent on the details, he announced the broader plan loud and clear in his campaign.

Trump is Quietly Building a Deportation Army out of State and Local Agencies
Enrollment in the 287(g) program, which deputizes local police to do federal immigration enforcement, has exploded in recent weeks—but the administration has been surprisingly silent.

Similarly, seeing them accommodate the far right in power despite their claims of being a bulwark against fascism should not surprise us either Anyone who has taken an honest look at the history of really existing liberalism should know this was always a possiblity 4/

One thing I have always made clear is that my research on the mainstreaming of far-right politics is really not that complicated and what I am saying not that original What has made it worth repeating is that it is wilfully ignored by those who could best do something about it 1/

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

'...the percentage of Republican men who agree that women should return to their traditional roles increased from 28 percent in May 2022 to 48 percent in November 2024. Among Republican women, there was an increase from 23 percent to 37 percent.'

This is also the logical conclusion of decades now of slow mainstreaming of far-right talking points Islamophobia, transphobia, anti-immigration discourses were never "legitimate grievances" that deserved to be aired. Their purpose was to prepare the way for this

Either these guys are hailing Hitler or they have a rare involuntary muscle spasm that coincidentally afflicts far right oligarchs and ideologues only.

As many European far-right leaders gathered in Madrid, Viktor Orbán said "yesterday we were heretics, today we are mainstream" He is not wrong but it's not because of their own success or the popularity of their politics but because of the wilful capitulation of the crumbling (former) mainstream

Trump wouldn't be able to do what he is about to if his supposed opponents had not enabled the genocide in Gaza for over a year What is there to stop him pushing it to its logical conclusion? Broken record but if you don't confront mainstream failures, you will not be able to fight back reaction

In a new report, NUPI's @mindaholm.bsky.social discusses the implications of different ‘postliberal’, ‘illiberal’ and non-Western great powers converging in their critique of liberal global and domestic politics. With #Ukraine, #Gaza, & #Trump - what is to come next? www.nupi.no/en/news/trum...

Really time to wake up that the idealised version of liberal democracy as innately opposed to the far right does not match the reality Without liberal democracy's enabling of the far right to protect certain interests, we would not be where we are This is not a bug in a well oiled machine

If the reaction of your gov is, "we wait for the ICJ - other courts - to rule on genocide", your gov is not discharging its prevention duty under the Genocide Convention. Govs must develop processes & criteria to assess genocide risk concurrently, not in 10 years.

Decades of research show that anti-immigration positions don’t help center-left parties win elections. Not now, not in the past, not never. 👇
