  1. "His new book, #Israel: What Went #Wrong?, is an attempt to explain that indifference. The book, which was published on Tuesday, is a detailed account of how Israel was transformed from a hopeful nation that in its founding document promised “complete equality of social and political rights to all its citizens irrespective of religion, race or sex” into one intent on what he bluntly terms “settler colonialism and #ethnonationalism”."

  2. Illumination in dark times
    A genealogy of modern Western selfhood and a post-Western world

    "Smith ... outlines a genealogy of modern Western selfhood: a radically individual, hypermasculine character that was formed during the rapid nineteenth-century expansion of the white man’s world. “Bold, conquering, and altogether assertive,” it was “dedicated to action,” hostile to reflection, indifferent to community and the environment, and guilty of possessing, Smith writes, an “undeveloped heart,” a term borrowed from E. M. Forster’s assessment of the British elite." "

    " “We must alter our very relations with the world around us.” This means giving up the exalted and exaggerated idea of the West that boosts a masculinist self-image but severely constricts thought and feeling. “We should welcome our era’s uncertainties,...the not-knowing of how the post-Western story will come out.” Smith’s final warning—that “we will not survive the Western notion of the individual much longer”—should resonate today, as nineteenth-century individualism reasserts itself in the degraded Nietzscheanism of Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller." >>

  3. Social cohesion and gritted-teeth tolerance

    "In 2022, for the first time in decades, the government commissioned a review of multiculturalism, Towards Fairness. It found Australia had muddled on, but squandered its world-leading status and recommended the government create a minister, a permanent commission and department for multiculturalism. Labor MP Dr Anne Aly was appointed multicultural affairs minister in 2025."

    She delivered a powerful speech last November:

    "Aly declared it was time to end “the conditional form of multiculturalism, that kind of gritted-teeth tolerance that,

    'You are welcome here as long as your food tastes good,

    your celebrations are colourful, and

    your music is present to the ears.’"

    "But any questioning, any speaking out, any disruptive participation in any practice of citizenship will not be tolerated. Instead, acts of citizenship afforded to the broader community are viewed as acts of defiance when performed by the other and are met with cries of, ‘Go back to where you came from,’ and ‘Love Australia or leave it.’ " >>

  8. #ethnonationalism Yair, son of wanted war criminal #Netanyahu, is in #Hungary standing in for his father in support of Viktor Orbán. While his father is busy killing Iranians, his son praised cultural and ethnic homogeneity, linked immigration from #Muslim countries to disorder and terrorism, and celebrated an authoritarian leader who claims to protect national “heritage.” The overlap with themes common to many neo‑Nazi and extreme‑right movements is striking.

    […] "Prime Minister Orbán shows strong leadership at a time in Europe when, sadly, that is very rare. In Western Europe, unfortunately, there are weak leaders who cause their countries to decay. They opened their countries to a flood of migrants from Muslim countries. They brought migrants who do not share the same culture and civilization. That brought a lot of public unrest and disputes imported from the Middle East that are not typical of the local population […] One result of this is terrorism, while Hungary on the other hand, under Orbán's leadership, is safe. There is no terrorism, there is social unity. Everyone shares the same Hungarian heritage and culture, and society is much more peaceful. Prime Minister Orbán has done a wonderful job, and he also defends Hungary's sovereignty vis‑à‑vis the European Union, because many countries in Europe have given up their sovereignty and handed it to unelected officials in Brussels who do not serve their countries' interests — while Orbán puts Hungary's interests first and knows how to oppose Brussels' proposals that are contrary to Hungary's interests."

    One thing’s certain about Yair: he spends his time in Miami and has dodged military service while his father started multiple wars (and a genocide).

  25. The dangers of rural extremist enclaves

    "Thin policing and limited services in remote areas compound these concerns. Regional officers are often spread thinly across vast distances. Programs designed to counter violent extremism, or even provide basic mental health and social support, are far less available outside metropolitan centres. This leaves rural communities with fewer buffers against dangerous ideologies. As a sense of victimhood is strongly associated with radicalisation, equally important is the perceived injustices often felt by rural communities. When communities feel ignored or disparaged, extremist narratives take root. "

    "Policies that visibly invest in rural infrastructure, health, and digital connectivity, often key rural concerns, are not just good economics, they can strengthen and integrate rural communities."

    I'm a politics ignoramous, heck I try not to discuss contemporary politics, for it would drive me to distraction, but (if it isn't old news to you) I have a feeling you may enjoy reading about the third wave experiment!

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Th

    It mayyy be too close to the bone though.

    Still, at least some kids got a very, very elegant education at a cost many many orders of magnitude below that which the Hitlerjugend paid for theirs.

    (I've intentionally omitted some pertinent hashtags because I don't want to upregulate them in any system in any way).

    If it isn't too soon to joke about such things, here's a gif of Arnold Rimmer trying to tell his CO he's invented a new salute (always a red flag when someone tries to do that, I reckon). Er... If it is too soon to ridicule such things, come back to this post in a few years and hopefully it'll be funny then...

  27. Umberto Eco’s List of the 14 Common Features of Fascism
    "Freedom and liberation are never-ending tasks."

    "There was only one Nazism,” he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features. “These features,” writes the novelist and semiotician, “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”

  28. Siding into fascism - The “international rules-based order"

    "A US professor who studies fascism says Australia’s history of the White Australia policy, Indigenous displacement and treatment of asylum seekers makes it vulnerable to fascism."

    “Fascism begins with immigrants and national minorities, and it moves quickly to political opponents.”

    "All the remaining democratic countries are going to face surging anti-democratic, ultranationalist movements...We shouldn’t be surprised if, very soon, there are no more democracies, or very few."

    "Undoing fascism is very, very hard."

  29. A ‘thoroughly white’ novel of national mythmaking: Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang at 25

    "Published at the dawn of the new millennium, True History of the Kelly Gang could be read as reinstating a victimised and innocent white settler subjectivity that was well past its use-by date. It is a thoroughly white story. The almost complete absence of Indigenous characters – except as feared, shadowy figures on the periphery – and the boldness with which Carey’s Kelly claims stolen land as his own through recourse to Irish history and myth obfuscates the fact that the country Carey claims for Kelly was already deeply storied."

  30. On the proximity of the far right and the misuses of the ‘mainstreaming’ metaphor.

    "Pitfalls of the mainstreaming explanation for contemporary far-right political violence."

    "Liberalism’s arc of self-narration: To keep the unnamed political system unnamed, and its unspoken grammar silent."

    L. Gillespie argues that "the mainstreaming explanation of far-right violence purports to acknowledge the existence, scope and severity of racism and white supremacy, that nevertheless, when drawn upon carelessly it can paradoxically work to temporalize and circumscribe the far right by portraying it as an aberration of the liberal multicultural nation, rather than an expression of its foundational logics. "

    “There was a range of grievances on display about perceived immigration rates on Sunday, but it was clear for many that the return to an imagined white Australia was a central theme...It’s not that white supremacy, which was present clearly yesterday, is something that the neo-Nazis in some evil, secretive fashion introduced into the political mainstream. It is something that has always been present in parts of the mainstream." >>
