  1. Return of the Black Shorts

    The above picture shows fascist thug and career criminal Daniel Thomas (a.k.a. Danny Tommo) leading a “protest” of uniformed knuckleheads (those on the right of the picture, in short trousers) outside the Daily Mail offices in London.

    Fans of P.G. Wodehouse will recall Roderick Spode, the 7th Earl of Sidcup, who leads a fascist group called the “Saviours of Britain” also known as the Black Shorts. He is of course a parody of Oswald Mosley and his group a parody of Mosley’s Black Shirts (aka the British Union of Fascists).

    Here’s a relevant quotation from The Code of the Woosters (published in 1938):

    The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.

    How prescient was that?

    Incidentally, fans of historical trivia might be interested to know that the grandson of Oswald Mosley (founder of the British Union of Fascists) and Diane Mitford (a friend of Adolf Hitler, who married Oswald Mosley at the home of Joseph Goebbels) is Louis Mosley, CEO of Palantir UK.

    Coincidentally, Nigel Farage went to the same school as P.G. Wodehouse, Dulwich College.

  2. RE: journa.host/@fulelo/1172281130

    The Hampshire PCC both-sides the #blackshirt "protest" in #Portsmouth and suggests the majority of #blackshirts have legitimate concerns. She has previously used her newsletter, which people sign up for news on the office of the PCC, to promote her plan to stand for Mayor of #Hampshire.

  3. The #blackshirts in #Dover yesterday with their totally normal spontaneous protest that wasn't in uniform - they had their first meeting in #Basingstoke (or maybe near Dickens Lane in Hatch from the photo) in July.

    Apparently they are #Christian so I expect they will be following the Commandment to love their neighbours, plus Psalm 82:3 (I am not religious so may miss some meaning).

  4. “Nazi-linked Reform [UK Ltd] councillor linked to vigilante street group”

    by Willem Moore in The Canary

    @uk_politics
    @thecanaryuk

    “The [Scottish] National [newspaper] have linked a Reform councillor who spoke at a ‘Nazi rally’ to a far-right vigilante group. And she’s not even the only one linked to these awful groups”

  5. Not. Cool.
    When they go low, we go high.
    We cannot sink to their levels of violence, otherwise they will install ICE/ DHS/ National Guard/ Police troops all over blue cities, with new levels of violence and oppression we haven't yet imagined.
    -> Do NOT give them their #ReichstagFire moment!

    DO NOT COME TO USA FOR #FIFA2026.

    most of the cities are in fascist #MAGA #Republican states that give free reign to #ICE #blackshirts. doesn't matter if you are orange colored like Trump: your life is in danger.

    if you must do #FIFA2026 book tickets for Canada and Mexico, not USA.

    this also applies for #2028Olympics. even though they are in Los Angeles, boycott any international event as long as Republicans and this fascist regime are in power.

  7. Book Report: Blackshirts & Reds by Parenti

    Blackshirts: Fascists / Nazis
    Reds: Socialists / Communists

    This is the first book by Michael Parenti that I've ever read, and I really enjoyed it. It has many facts and references, and covers the rise of the popularity of capitalism within the USSR, the propaganda about the USSR, including stories about gulags, and addresses problems with the USSR, including problems in resource allocation planning. It covers the effects of the fall of the USSR on Eastern European countries when the capitalists took over, including devastating wealth inequality and poverty.

    I've ordered "Against Empire" as my next book from Parenti because I enjoyed this book so much.

  8. If the #DailyMail backs #ReformUK at the next UK election, it will be the first time it hasn't supported the #ConservativeParty since it came out in favour of #OswaldMosley's #BritishUnionOfFascists #Blackshirts in the 1930s. #ukpol

    The Daily Mail's owner in the 1930s was Harold Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Rothermere. He met with Adolf Hitler on several occasions during the 1930s

    The talk about the Reverse Robin Hood bill now before the US Senate is about increasing the national debt and cutting Medicaid just further grant subsidies to the stratospherically rich. Yes, giant problems.

    But it also sets up ICE to formally become the American Gestapo.

  11. All the talk about the Reverse Robin Hood bill now before the US Senate is about increasing the national debt and cutting Medicaid just further grant subsidies to the stratospherically rich. Yes, giant problems. 

    But it also sets up ICE to formally become the American Gestapo. Here's how, why, and what we can do about it.

  12. This is really good and well worth the 19 minutes, even if you don't think the history of fashion in fascist Italy sounds like your cup of tea. Some of it seems obvious, in a way, but it's a topic I'd never given much thought to, and there were a number of surprises that never would've occurred to me. Good stuff well researched.

    NYU makes most of its money from INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. they have to pay in cash and are the backbone of their main real estate hustle. last i checked the majority of their board members made their money in real estate.

    turning ICE into #BlackShirts isn’t going to kill the university’s billion dollar investment fund, but it will devastate the local rental market that depends on the thousands of students, researchers and H1B visas from private unis like NYU

  14. BTW i would like y’all to start speaking about #globalization as a #fascist American project.

    globalization is the worldwide normalization of American #corporatist #fascism.

    business suits are the new #nazi suits. the Silicon Valley aesthetics of khakis is the new #brownshirts. cop uniforms are the new #blackshirts.

    #aesthetics play a huge part in normalizing violence; especially state #violence.
