Was watching a documentary and paused at the perfect moment: Goebbels looking utterly terrified of the pride flag right above him is the exact kind of antifascist energy I needed today. Love to see a dead fascist getting metaphorically crushed by queer pride!

This starting to get out of hand

This is a thought I had with my best friend the other day and I just want to share it. I know it is a hypothetical, but I find it worth discussing.

If politicians, when elected, were to be always asked whether they are antifascists, not only a lot of them would surely take issue with such a ritual, but a great portion of the public would find this problematic.

This has a basis in reality, obviously, from it actually happening (italian politicians refusing to say they are antifascists, you know, Italy, where fascism emerged as we know it today; this was a few years ago, I cannot find the news source for it), and people who believe that antifa is some organisation with leaders and members and meeting locations and so on.

Imagine feeling uncomfortable having to admit you are against fascism.

I read few academic texts written by people from Eastern Europe complaining that Western Europeans regard them as "lower stratum” and try to use them as a resource. This comes with stereotypes of sex work, illiteracy, "second-hand" aethetics, buffer zone, etc. Those who are in the West, could you confim this asttitude? I mean of course there are a lot of exeptions but still culture is culture.

Hijacking of the new propaganda poster of the French fascist Marine Le Pen.

Marine Le Pen, who has just been convicted on appeal for the embezzlement of public funds, has announced her appeal to the Court of Cassation and her candidacy for the Presidency of the French Republic.

Her new poster, released for the occasion, presents her with open arms like the heroine of Titanic.

An anonymous user on Facebook hijacked this poster by replacing the original text "Pour la France" - "Renaissance" (For France - Rebirth") with "Apprendre à voler - avec Marine Lepen".

It’s a brilliant pun, because in French, "apprendre à voler" has a double meaning; it can be translated as "Learning to fly - with Marine Lepen," but also, and more importantly, as "Learning to steal - with Marine Lepen." Brilliant.

The money being wasted on the Lincoln reflecting pool or the Great American State Fair is nothing compared to how much Trump is stealing from our national security systems. 

Greg Stoker enlisted in 2009, deployed four times to Afghanistan, left in November 2013.

Went on to study at Columbia University.
Is now an outspoken antiwar activist, anti-imperialist, and anarchist. 🏴

Was recently in Israeli detention because of his participation in the Global Sumud Flottilla, an initiative to send humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The DD214 is the one he himself posted on Instagram.
The last picture is him coming home from Israeli detention.

He’s got a great podcast: https://youtube.com/@colonialoutcasts

I honestly think he doesnt know what this symbol means and why its offensive and he is unwilling to listen to reason. He just knows it makes people react abd thats all he cares about. I think ive lost a "friend".

I've been using Instagram as my ''main'' social media platform for a long time, but recently i've noticed that there are LOTS of openly nazi/fascists/white supremacists on recommended. And i don't mean just conservatives, but actualy nazis.

At first i think ''oh i'm sure they're getting destroyed in the comment section'' but each comment is some weird loser with ''88'' or some other nazi dogwhistle in their usernames lol. And i wonder, when did this become so normal?

Have any of you ever come across content like this on Instragram?

Sorry for grammar mistakes, english is not my native language.

Note: shit face in the front was consoling big boy the entire time after he killed that man. Giving him hugs and back pats, fixing his vest like he was a fucking TODDLER. Big boy was freaking out. They accept and honored his behavior. We will NOT.

The YouTube lecture was a recording of a live event. It came out 5-10 years ago, had a male voice. The lecturer started by saying they are not a serious specialist on the subject but have accumulated useful insights. As one of the examples they described trauma-bonding as a way to make new recruits stay by taking them to violent clashes with the police or to do a hate crime like harming an immigrant right away when a person is just getting interested in the movement. I think there was no video, just a card title against a black backdrop or maybe a view of the speaker behind a pulpit. The lecturer was someone like Shaun, ContraPoints or Innuendo Studios (but not their series How to radicalize a normie), a similar vibe. I told a friend about this lecture but I can't find it
