  1. It does NOT, as did the 2018 counterterrorism strategy issued in Trump’s first term, mention #nationalist #NeoNazi groups with “anti-Western views” that have attacked #Muslims & #LeftWing groups.

    “We have to be objective about identifying threats, not politically selective,” Hoffman said.
    
“If I were to rack & stack priorities, left-wing terrorists wouldn’t be in my top three,” Clarke said.

  3. Like many people, I want affordable health care, regulations on businesses, higher taxes on corporations and "the rich", and respect for human dignity. Apparently that makes me "left wing". And the Democrats wonder why people are so disaffected with their party. #leftwing #democrats

  5. About a hundred years ago, this is what "left" looked like through the Overton window. It didn't work at its extreme, but neither does the extreme right.

  7. Similar thing in Cypress last year.

    "#Greek #Jewish groups have condemned an “#antiZionist patrol” which took place on the streets of #Thessaloniki, exactly 95 years after assault squads targeted #Jews in the same city.

    The #leftwing #anarchist #Rouvikonas group organized the “anti-#Zionist patrol” on Saturday, heading toward #MaviliSquare, which they said “#Israeli capital has parasitically infiltrated.”

    They were joined by members of the groups Permanent Struggle for Class Liberation and the Libertarian Initiative of Thessaloniki.

    Pictures and videos of the patrol show black-shirted men wearing #Palestine flags."

  9. Leggo sull'Europa divenuta di destra, sulla sinistra che fa politiche di destra, sul giornalismo che strizza l'occhio alla destra, e sull'opinione pubblica che si sta abituando. In tutto questo, c'era un'istituzione storicamente a destra che si é spostata a sinistra riuscendo ad interpretare la realtà. Resto dell'opinione che la Chiesa Cattolica debba chiudere e i propri beni confiscati. Ma in questa fase le parole del Papa mi fanno sentire, a volte, compatito.

  11. The #EpsteinClass aren't waiting for #LeftWing violence as a pretext for even worse crackdowns.

    That's called victim blaming.

    And we, the #WorkingClass, have been victim to #Capitalist violence since their #ClassWar us started.

  15. "The #Government & #judicial #system treat #farright #terrorism more leniently than #leftwing #dissent. So perhaps this should lead us to another answer to the question of how best to describe what we are seeing. It might be a nominally #Labour Government. But this is rightwing #authoritarianism."

  19. I had a friend who got so upset and felt personally attacked purely because I explained why I, myself, don't like patriotism or nationalism when it comes to sports and thus personally, again myself, don't usually support US teams in stuff like the World Cup or the Olympics.

    Accused me of cynicism, when frankly supporting a global international community without borders is as hopeful and idealist as you can get, something that patriotism and nationalism strong get in the way of.

  21. Politico: US commentators Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur denied UK entry. “Britain has barred left-wing U.S. commentators Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker from entering the U.K. Uygur — a Turkish-American political activist who hosts the ‘Young Turks’ YouTube channel — and his nephew Piker, a prominent Twitch streamer, were due to speak at the SXSW London Conference this week, and then at Oxford […]

  23. "A secret #bunker, an underground #tunnel and an armband bearing the #StarofDavid are among the rare findings in a house in southern #Poland that was used by #Jews, including young members of the #resistance, to hide from the #Nazis.

    “This armband is a witness, it’s like directly touching that evil which people created for other people,” Karolina Jakoweńko from the #CukermansGateFoundation, which organized the search, told The Associated Press. Seeing it felt like a “jolt," she said.

    #Jakoweńko spoke inside a two‑story redbrick house in the town of #Bedzin, within the former #Jewish #ghetto during the #WorldWarII. The house served as the site of a “#kibbutz” organized by youth from #leftwing #Zionist groups — in this case, a network that relied on each other to try to ensure its members survived and resisted the Nazi occupiers.

    Each piece of rubble may hide a treasure."

  25. I was watching a video with Matt Kennard in it and he mentioned how during the rise in #fascism in both Italy and Germany, the right took advantage of the disenfranchised while the left was not well organised.

    This is what's happening now in the US and UK and probably a lot of Europe.

    I think about things like this and I think about the role of tech. I'm pretty certain for the left to be properly organised they need independent means of communication that are not corporate owned. The censorship on corporate platforms prevents meaningful discussion, and the left need safe spaces to says the things they need to say without fear of censorship or arrest.

    I also think more organisation needs to be in the real world. That is, an actual network of people meeting regularly. And I think at first, this group would be better simply to quietly work out a strategy rather than to join protests and make noise.

    But also, if a rise in fascism is coming and people's powers are diminished, there needs to be a strong counter force to that. A network of people ready to resist. And that needs to be outside of corporate channels.

  27. How many people out there in the UK are suffering from #thathcheritestockholmsyndrome? The numbers must be truly staggering if they were to be calculated properly. I’m personally shocked that it can be an affliction on people a lot younger than myself. #uk #politics #farright #rightwing #leftwing #farleft #margaretthatcher #pfi #tonyblair #newlabour

  28. You know, every time I hear the #rightwing talk about "#leftwing extremism" I'm reminded of the "every accusation a confession" quote - because statistically speaking the bulk of terrorist attacks in the west have been committed by right wing extremists.
