It's not in Western interest to limit Israel in any way.

Alana Lentin:

'Thus, the almost total impunity granted Israel as it has exacted death and destruction on the people of Palestine and sown murderous chaos around the region since its founding can also be understood in terms of the function it serves for the West. Israel’s recent June 12 attack on Iran exposes this in no uncertain terms. Germany, erroneously thought by a majority of observers to be driven in its rabid support for the Zionist colony by guilt for its genocide of the Jews of Europe, made its desires clear. Commending the strikes, German Chancellor Merz said, “This is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us.”'

I'm calling bullshit on this. They're failing with this weak PR response about their Nazi gym owner being clueless.

Several of these #NeoNazis live less than 30 minutes from me. We have a few neo Nazi groups who are active around #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland. The #Nazis in BC & in pockets around #Canada are emboldened by Trump, his #fascist peons/ICE, seeing attacks on immigrants without due process & no accountability. A few of these bigots in BC are nasty #WhiteSupremacist people who worked with kids too. All NeoNazis should be doxxed - their employers should know what kind of person they are employing & fire any Nazis on payroll.

Notable Places of Interest for Social Roles

I'm going to do a full context video report tomorrow because it's important for other #Canadians to know how the #GovernmentOfCanada has tried to bully my Mom since even before #BCNDP #BCgovernment #FailuresToProtect citizens with #covid.

This is now the 3rd time that federal government has severely fucked up & demanded my Mom - who has been fucking retired early since Summer of 2020 - to pay them back funds she's eligible for. First time they fucked up was in 2022 & it took 9 months for feds to admit they fucked up & they had to send Mom retroactive payments while we were planning Dad's funeral. 2nd time they fucked up was 1 year after & they stopped her OAS payments & also threatened her with stopping all federal benefits that she earned from working her entire life after coming to Canada as a war refugee in November 1980.
It took over 11 months for feds to stop threatening my family for yet another one of their admin fuck ups. Their big fuck ups end up putting more traumas on our backs. Yes - we are fucking ANGRY.

What’s framed as a “professional network” is often just an online extension of our worst professional realities…white supremacy and anti-Blackness, coded to scale.

I don't think telling conservatives that immigrants aren't the enemy is an effective strategy. The fundamental flaw in this approach, one that I see repeated across well-meaning immigration discourse, is that it misdiagnoses the problem. It assumes we are dealing with a population that has arrived at a conclusion based on faulty data. The thinking goes: if we can just provide the correct data the economic studies showing immigration's net benefits, the statistics proving low crime rates among immigrant communities, the historical narratives of how every wave of immigrants was once feared and then assimilated then the scales will fall from their eyes and they will abandon their prejudice.

This is a profound and strategic error. It presumes a reality-based disagreement where one does not exist. The core of the issue is not misinformation; it is identity, emotion, and a specific moral framework.

They're not misinformed; they're just racist. It's a whole different problem.

And this is the part that, I believe, a lot of people, especially those operating from a place of good faith and empirical reasoning, find almost impossible to internalize: a significant portion of them want to be racist. They enjoy it. The hostility, the scapegoating, the creation of a despised out-group this is not an unfortunate byproduct of their political stance; it is a feature. It is the point.

Let's break down why this is the case, and why our current strategies of "fact-based persuasion" are not just ineffective, but often counterproductive.

First, the concept of "enjoyment." This isn't necessarily about cackling with glee at the suffering of others (though for some, it certainly can be). It's more complex and psychologically insidious. It's about the psychic and social rewards that a hierarchical, tribalistic worldview provides.

1. The Reward of Cognitive Simplicity: A world divided into "Us" and "Them" is a simple world. Complex, intractable problems like economic precarity, cultural change, and political decay become easily digestible. You don't need to understand global supply chains, monetary policy, or the history of deindustrialization. You just need to point at the "other." The immigrant becomes a monolithic explanation for everything: your stagnant wages, the crime you see on the news, the sense that your community is changing in ways you don't control. This simplification is a relief. It's cognitively satisfying. Presenting a complex, nuanced reality doesn't just fail to persuade; it actively annoys them, because it demands more mental effort and robs them of that satisfying, simple narrative.
2. The Reward of Moral Superiority: In a secular, pluralistic world, traditional markers of status and virtue have been upended. But within the framework of racial and cultural nationalism, moral superiority is easily and instantly earned. Your virtue is not determined by your actions, your empathy, or your contributions to your community. It is conferred by your identity. By virtue of being a "real American," or a native-born citizen, or a member of the dominant racial group, you are inherently superior. This is a powerful psychological balm for individuals who feel left behind, disrespected, or powerless in other aspects of their lives. The immigrant, by serving as the constitutive outside the "them" that defines the "us" provides the very material for this sense of innate virtue. Telling them the immigrant is not the enemy is not just a factual correction; it is an attack on their foundational sense of self-worth.
3. The Reward of Social Cohesion and Belonging: Shared hatred is a powerful social glue. The act of collectively disparaging, fearing, and excluding an out-group creates intense in-group bonds. Think of the camaraderie found in sports fandom, but weaponized. The shared jokes, the common slogans, the mutual understanding of "what we're all against," creates a powerful sense of community and belonging. This is why arguments based on empathy for the immigrant fall on deaf ears. You are asking them to dissolve the very social bonds that give their lives meaning and structure, and to replace it with an abstract, cosmopolitan empathy that feels weak, disloyal, and isolating. The enjoyment comes from the feeling of being part of a tribe, a team, with a clear and common enemy.
4. The Thrill of Transgression: In our modern, liberal society, overt racism is one of the last great taboos. It is socially punished, professionally risky, and culturally condemned. For some, flouting this taboo is a source of pleasure in itself. It's a way to assert their independence from a "politically correct" establishment they despise. The "own the libs" mentality is not a side effect; it's a core motivation. When they say something cruel or dehumanizing about immigrants and see the reaction of horror from their opponents, that is a victory. It proves they are not part of that soft, weak, empathetic world. They are strong, they are brave, they are saying the "quiet part out loud." Your fact-checking and your moral appeals are not seen as rational counter-arguments; they are seen as the predictable whining of the enemy, and their ability to provoke that response is a form of power.

So, what happens when you approach this mindset with a pamphlet full of economic statistics from the Cato Institute or a heartfelt plea for common humanity?

You are not speaking their language. You are offering a spreadsheet to someone seeking a religious experience. You are offering a salad to someone craving a sugary, fatty meal. Your facts are not just irrelevant; they are offensive to their small mind. They are an attempt to take away their cognitive simplicity, their moral superiority, their tribal belonging, and their transgressive thrill.

Your well-reasoned argument is perceived as:

- An attempt to confuse them (attacking cognitive simplicity).
- An accusation that they are bad people (attacking moral superiority).
- An act of siding with the enemy (attacking tribal cohesion).
- The predictable, whining "political correctness" of the establishment (confirming their transgressive identity).

This is why the strategy is doomed. You cannot reason someone out of a position they were not reasoned into. The fixation on the immigrant as the "enemy" is not a logical conclusion; it is an emotional and psychological need.

What, then, is to be done? I don't claim to have a perfect answer, but the first step is a brutal and honest strategic assessment. We must stop wasting energy and political capital on a persuasion model that is designed to fail against this specific demographic. The goal should shift from "convincing the hardcore" to:

1. Solidifying and Motivating the Coalition: Focus on energizing those who already believe in a pluralistic society. Stop trying to water down the message to appeal to a "racially anxious" demographic that may be unreachable. A clear, morally confident, and unapologetic defense of inclusion can mobilize the base far more effectively than a tepid, fact-based centrism.
2. Institutional and Legal Fortification: Since persuasion is failing, protection must be the priority. Strengthen legal institutions, anti-discrimination laws, and pathways to citizenship. Make the structure of society resistant to the bigotry, since the hearts and minds of a significant portion are a lost cause for the foreseeable future.
3. Addressing the Underlying Anxieties, But Not the Scapegoat: The economic and social despair is real. But the solution is to address it directly with bold policy universal healthcare, strong labor protections, investment in decaying communities while explicitly and relentlessly divorcing these solutions from the nativist narrative. The message should be: "Your pain is real, but the immigrant didn't cause it. Corporate greed and failed policy did. Let's fight the real enemy, not a scapegoat."

In conclusion, the statement "immigrants aren't the enemy" is a factual truth, but it is a useless political weapon against a force that is not driven by facts. It is like trying to stop a stampede by reading a botanical guide to the grass being trampled. You're not addressing the energy or the intent of the stampede. We are not in a debate; we are in a conflict over the soul of a nation, and one side has drawn its identity and its pleasure from the existence of a designated enemy. Recognizing this uncomfortable, ugly reality is the first, necessary step toward developing a strategy that has any hope of prevailing.

@codeofamor PS We just noticed the "Vipassanta" in your bio. Do you know the film The Dhamma Brothers? We worked with the filmmakers and we have a feeling you might appreciate it.

So many people out in Glasgow for the Stand Up To Racism demonstration against racism and the far right. Also some really great speakers, a tonne of cool union banners, and fantastic drums from SheBoom - Europe's largest women's drumming circle. I only took terrible photos 🫣

Mass demonstration against the far right in Glasgow tomorrow - Saturday 7 September.

The demonstration will oppose a far right rally also taking place in Glasgow tomorrow.

The counter-demonstration is organised by Glasgow Stand Up To Racism, and is supported by the Scottish TUC, trade unions, community, faith and refugee rights organisations, artists, comedians and musicians.

I'm #AntiPolice #AntiColonialGovernment #AntiColonialism #AntiAbleist #AntiRacism & I don't negotiate on those stances. If you're ok, negotiating on above stated stances - I'd question your life experiences. I'd question your efforts, if any, towards #decolonization too. I seriously believe anyone who believes anything #BCGovernment says these days - y'all drugged or drunk or uncaring.

Why #Centrism Is Morally Indefensible: #TimUrban’s new book, endorsed by the stinking birdsite billionaire, shows how #centrists care more about civility (#MLK's negative #peace) than #justice (positive peace), and hate ‘#socialjustice fundamentalism’ more than #plutocracy.

And here it is, an #intropost in which I list as many hashbrowns as possible! Incoming hashbrowns!

I’m pretty sure I’m on the planet to help people, and right now I’m pretty sure the greatest help to us all lies in overthrowing oppressive systems. Trying to live #antifascism, #antiracism / #AntiRacist, #bodyjustice / #antifatphobia, #AntiAbleism / #antiableist, pro #lbgtqai, #landback ideas and practices, and to engage in #interdependence through #mutualaid, #community, individual irl relationships, and #directaction . Since I am #disabled with #autoimmune bullshit (#spondy, #spondyloarthritis , and #lupus / #borderlinelupus) I am very interested in #ArtAction , #artactivism, and #musicactivism (that I can do from home.)

My background is in #finearts and I love every single #crafting / #craft / #maker activity out there. Right now I’m obsessed with #procreate and #sewing. I’m also a layperson #herbalist and #gardener.

I have learned that I am happiest as a #catparent with exactly #4cats in the house (which I currently have.)

I’m pretty sure identity is super fluid, so it feels funny putting up labels, but I am also #demisexual, #witchy, #neurodivergent, #homebody. I love #tea, #starwars, #surrealism and #dadaism, and my excellent partner. I have a high tolerance for #weird.

So there ya go.
