@jonfavs If I had a direct hand in people not having healthcare and the near universal response across the political spectrum was joy at this shooting I’d be smart enough to shut the fuck up right now
it’s hilarious that one day a christian man was like “what if i made an understanding of gender roles entirely based on not knowing how umbrellas work”
This post is problematic for a number of reasons.
A thread…🧵
1. For those attempting to make sense of Trump’s victory and the rise of the far-right across Europe - look no further than the PMs statement below.
Whether you like it or not, the far-right has a set of common narratives. We can probably all recite them…
"If what you want is a centrist campaign that's quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans, that candidate existed and she just lost"
~John Oliver on dems moving right
1. Who really won the US election? The fossil fuel companies and other polluting industries. We scarcely heard about them during the election campaign, which is just how they like it. Almost everything we *did* hear about was a distraction from the real agenda. 🧵
@bo_salomons@MaxBlumenthal@OmeBender Can you explain what it is Bender does and what your criticism of him is / how to assess him (if possible w. sources)?
Es ist viel los, und das hier droht unterzugehen. Die sogenannte Antisemitismus-#Resolution ist angenommen - mit den Stimmen der AfD, die begrüßte, dass die darin formulierten Maßnahmen ihrem Programm folgen.
Die Kritik an der Resolution ist ungebrochen, sie ist breit, sie kommt aus juristischen, jüdischen, israelischen, muslimischen, aktivistischen & internationalen Kreisen. Halle bleibt in der Resolution unerwähnt, stattdessen wird die Berlinale als Beispiel angeführt. Hier geht es nicht um den dringend notwendigen Schutz vor Antisemitismus, hier geht es um massive Eingriffe in die Meinungsfreiheit & um staatliche Kontrolle von Kunst und Kultur. Die Warnungen vor dem, was das lostreten könnte wurden ignoriert. Desaströses Vorgehen, desaströses Zeichen an die Welt.
@miDniGhTSC2@DebateYaGranny@Dan_Arrows But to be clear, it's next to impossible that he will come out of that victorious. And the new election will massively strengthen the two neo-fascist parties AfD and BSW.
@guineu_roja@shaun_vids Did they, though? I hear that Sir Keir is mostly running a - perhaps moderately - conservative government (when he isn't doing nothing.)
Während ich heute nachmittag einmal mehr Studierenden die Klimakatastrophe erkläre, werden AktivistInnen von der Polizei verhaftet und alte weiße Männer bekommen ihre neue Straße. Alles ganz normal, wenn Wahnsinn zum Alltag wird. https://t.co/fhXwar16E8
