  1. Haven't listen to Surviving Society podcast for a while. So, now listening to a Aaron Winter reflecting on the arguments and themes in his and Aurelien Mondon's book, Reactionary Democracy: How racism and the populist far-right became mainstream.

    Very clarifying how racisms function in how a democracy moves from liberal to authoritarian or illiberal; how these two forms can exist together as we see now; how racism works to get people to vote against their own interests, and much more.

  2. @Mer__edith I think that one would prepare such legislation if one thinks that civil discourse will become illegal under coming legislation and there are no measures at the moment to censor accordingly. There seems to be a shift towards state power over people, towards taking control over communication. This meddles with and breaks the basic interpersonal fabric of our relationships being personal. As such it drives division between the people. #divideandrule is not in serving the people.

  3. @JohnLoader6 @IndyRichard @steviesyerda @bbcnews it would probably make for a more healthy country if we were all able to access each other’s news services. The current policy of ghettoisation does not add transparency and understanding. #DivideAndRule

    Well done!

    It looks like the #dotCons are going down the partisan path, with #DogCoinPusher doing the Fox side and BlueSky, the CNN side. Togather they'll continue the old #divideAndRule, bi-partisan model. Toxic. Time to move to federated.

    If interested, here's a fediverse icon (and repo) anyone may use (and/or mirror) on Codeberg :) Its more accurate to say Fediverse over Mastodon.

  6. @CyclingJourno @Sc0tty Let's be clear - the Tories like to blame someone else as a way of distracting the public from the dynamics of capitalist inequality and extractivism. 1970s/80s - blame the Unions and flog off pulbic assets, 2010s blame Gordon Brown and impose austerity, 2015 blame Europe, 2021 blame the pandemic, 2022 blame Truss, 2023 - blame the public sector unions & migrants. #DivideAndRule

  7. GOVERNMENT

    > Approves large scale removal of large #trees.

    > Blames people's pets (mostly #cats, but also #dogs re lizard populations) for the loss of local #wildlife in the area, while downplaying #habitatLoss via human expansion and #overdevelopment.
