I stand in solidarity with Autistici/Inventati.

On 26th of August, the US government designated the A/I collective as a "global terrorist organization".

The A/I collective has provided free online services to antifascists worldwide for more than twenty years. Considerable wins in antifascist struggle have been helped by their services.

The A/I collective has published a statement in response to the designation here: https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10076

Maybe you're connected to a struggle where their blogging platform https://noblogs.org is used?
In #norway, we are thousands of people struggling against a planned genocide-complicit #chemringnobel weapons explosives factory. An important part of our struggle is the actively defended zone @knuskrigsmaskinen, who relies on noblogs for their primary online presence at https://knuskrigsmaskinen.noblogs.org.

I highly recommend reading this blog post about the history of the A/I collective and the current situation: https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2

This move by the US government clearly shows their government's commitment to fascism; to the destruction of democratic, emancipatory, peace and anti-authoritarian movements and society -- worldwide.

All of us who dare insist on freedom should recognize this for what it is, and defend our collective right to organize.

Solidarity with Autistici/Inventati!

**Update, 28.08 10:50**: multiple people report being unable to reach the main A/I url "https://autistici.org".
"https://noblogs.org" is still reachable. I advise folks who use it, to export and backup all their data. I suggest following @cavallette for further updates.

**Update, 29.08 02:30**: Organisations can now sign an open letter in support of A/I: https://www.wewillfreeus.org/open-letter-communications-infrastructure-is-not-terrorism/

**Update, 30.08 0630 UTC**: Autistici / Inventati has published a 15 part press release regarding getting designated by the US as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist": https://inventati.org/campaign/press

"Black or White" by Michael Jackson is a groundbreaking anthem that addresses themes of racial harmony and unity. Released in 1991, this iconic track features a catchy melody and powerful lyrics.

The myth of white supremacy doesn’t just survive through hate; it thrives through white avoidance, white fragility, and white insistence that everything can change without white people changing.

If you want to dismantle the myth, you have to start by dismantling the illusion that you can do it without confronting yourself.

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.

Because you can’t opt out of the system, but you can refuse to perform your role in maintaining it.

Discomfort is not harm.

Awareness is not absolution.

Action, consistent, accountable, antiracist action, is the only path to integrity.

The problem isn’t that DHH finally said the quiet part out loud.

The problem is that you’re still pretending it’s shocking, still refusing to connect the dots, and still showing the world that whiteness matters more to you than justice.

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.

"Then when I got involved in the National Union of Students I realised that I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. That’s a really magical moment, when you discover that you’re not alone in your politics."

"If we’re contesting state power, we’re going to face a major backlash, and we need to have the institutional resilience to withstand it. […] The overall party structure has to be unitary."

You might enjoy them, learn from them, share with others, practise with others, help someone else feel comfortable around you, disclose their own Protected Characteristics, or just... feel better about trying to help at all.
Baby steps in the face of overwhelm is okay.
Just start somewhere, wherever you can.

#MomsAgainstRacism Hosts - Be A Kid: Cookie Decorating & Bouncy Castle!
Come out for June’s Be A Kid Event - a fun day just for #BIPOCkids and their families with cookie decorating, games, and a bouncy castle!

McTavish Academy Of Art
1720 McTavish Rd.
Sat, Jun 28, 2025 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

We’re also inviting all our MAR families to join the fun from 4:00 – 6:00 pm for our 3rd annual MAR Family Picnic!

Minimum contribution: $10 per family.

Open to #children who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or a Child of Colour) and their immediate families/caregivers. White presenting kids with racial hertitage and white family members/caregivers are warmly welcomed.

The Be a Kid program supports our members, the public, and their #racialized #kids in creating #community. This program will help to create opportunities for Black, Indigenous and #ChildrenOfColour to connect with each other, in a psychologically and culturally safer environment, while participating in an activity they may otherwise not.

#Mobilization impactfully moves the needle, if not as rapidly as the violent revolution which is inexorable & will have backlash; both hard, each necessary at some point in every Society. “Plot, plan, strategize, organize, and mobilize”

This letter of Jerome is the preface to the Gutenberg Bible. It’s a shame to adorn these walls of your soul with jewels when Christ perishes in his poor (Mt 25:40.) Our possessions are not our own but a stewardship entrusted by God.

How would a person with this faith respond with gov’t aid to the poor is zeroed out? Do we object to gov’t taxation as much as private sector calls to individual aid?

How can you adorn your soul?

"In terms of racial identity, white Americans have had the choice of being something vague, something unraced and separate from race. A capitalized "White" challenges that freedom, by unmasking Whiteness as an American racial identity as historically important as "Blackness" — which it certainly is."

~ Nell Irvin Painter: https://www.wctrib.com/opinion/nell-irvin-painter-why-white-should-be-capitalized-too via @breton 🧶

You go to your public park where a dozen brand new benches have been installed. You notice fairly quickly that the decorative “pinwheel” designs in the back of each bench end up forming a swastika at the center of each. What’s your reaction? #Mazeldon #Antiracist #Antiracism #DogWhistles #HateSymbols

To all white + non-Black liberals, progressives + “allies”: Understand the U. S. has ALWAYS been fascist.

You can’t assert “All men are created equal” while concurrently ENSLAVING a fifth of the population- who are considered subhuman.

Facts: There NEVER was a period in the U. S. When Black Americans can say “the good old days.” The U.S. has ALWAYS been divided.

When you express shock at anti-Black racism + racial injustice, then proclaim “This isn’t who we are“ and ”The country is so divided RIGHT NOW“ that proves how effective this nation’s propaganda is.

It’s why true accountings of this nation’s full history (like #the1619project) must be taught + acknowledged.

Yes, these are uncomfortable and hard truths that must be faced for any hope of concrete change to occur.

Please be more sensitive. #antiracism #racism #equality #Justice

A #BritishColumbia #MassageTherapist who #refused to treat a #client because they were a #Muslim and they have a "bad reputation for raping and killing" has lost the first round of a #HumanRights complaint.
According to a March 8 #BCHumanRightsTribunal decision, Majid Shahadat booked a lymphatic massage treatment with the #NorthernSchoolOfMassage in 2019.

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.
