Fascism is way more than most people think. So, know your enemy and listen to this (you can watch-listen without ads via Newpipe app).
Fighting Fascism- Lessons from the Colonies, with Robin D.G. Kelley
"Aimé Césaire cut through the mythologies to show that fascism in Europe was no anomaly, it was the boomerang effect of brutal European colonialism abroad coming home. The fight against fascism cannot be successful without understanding the powerful struggles against colonialism from the 20th century to today."

A Court Ordered Trump’s Department of Education to Roll Back Its Anti-DEI Efforts. Why haven’t Universities Reversed Course?
If you're paying for attendance at one of those colleges whose trustees are either friends of #thePædophile or unduly afraid of him, find a new college, now. Really.

Trumpian politics is no longer confined to the U.S.—it’s infecting Europe. Populism, nationalism, and the undermining of democracy are on the rise. Are we watching the death of liberal democracy, or will we stand up to this authoritarian tide? #TrumpianPolitics #LiberalDemocracy https://buff.ly/3WmJblN

CW: A Disquieting Thought Experiment
A thought experiment:
It's been nearly a century since the beginning of the New Deal. Arguably it was first (and only) major intervention to contain the worst aspects of unrestrained capital. Ultimately it failed. If you could magically return to any time in the past 90 years, could you *realistically* hope to avert fascism?

"There is not one kind of Trump voter. Of course there are the Nazis, the alt-right, the hyper-misogynist and hyper-racist—all those who feast on Trump’s wild promises, noxious insults, and boorish ways. There are those animated by hatred for the “libs,” whose contempt or mere disregard they absorb daily. There are Christians, Zionists, and even (late-breaking) Muslims who expect Trump to serve their cause better than the Biden–Harris regime did. There are those who want the southern border of the country fortified and recent migrants deported. There are small business owners who want lower taxes and fewer restrictions, and former mining and industrial workers who want jobs that would pay what union-protected ones did.
But none of them fully account for Trump’s historic triumph—the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since 2004. What does? Three things: Trump’s economic populism in a context in which the Democrats have become the party of the elite; the exhaustion of liberal democracy as a viable or trusted form; and the destruction of education, especially higher education, in the United States."

“Outlets from the Los Angeles Times to perhaps even the Washington Post are engaging in what the historian Timothy Snyder has called anticipatory obedience — pulling back from their obligation to tell the truth in order to placate the tyrant so he doesn’t come after them,” Protect Democracy's Bassin says.

How else does one govern savages 😉
Those poor #liberals are now shell-shocked as the weeds they showered far and wide across the periphery now invade the centre; and metropolis after imperial metropolis falls to #fascists, #neoNazis, and all kinds of weird #theocrats.
Naturally, who else but #Putin has the chutzpah and the supernatural ability to achieve this. /s

"Far from being an absolute product of democratic development, the progress of humanity and other beautiful things of that kind, parliamentarianism is, on the contrary, a historically determined form of the class domination of the bourgeoisie and - this is only the reverse side of this domination - of its struggle against feudalism. Bourgeois parliamentarism is a living form only as long as the conflict between the bourgeoisie and feudalism lasts", Rosa Luxemburg reminded us as early as 1905.

"It is to the political benefit of the existing system to keep whites, especially poor whites with little more than their whiteness to be proud of. It makes for a predictable political group. Whites thus managed will vote and flock to issues as reliably as tides."

hint hint:. Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel would make for a very provoking backdrop for a non-vandal/peaceful protest.
After all, if Israeli-Government’s contempt towards Medical professionals and facilities in Gaza were universally applied during World War One and Two, nurses like Vivian would be dead along with her patients.

Vandalism and War memorials, my thoughts so far:
Vandalism as an expression of protest is a controversial one, but one that hard to condemn 100%.
In terms of International human rights, we all have a ‘right to expression’, ‘right to protest’ ‘right to civil disobedience’ and as last resort ‘right to rebellion’, all with the intent of having rights respected for enduring peace. (UNDHR)
On the scale of things, ‘vandalism’ can broadly fall between ‘right to expression and rebellion’. ‘Vandalism’ in terms of graffiti, where there is no material damage, falls somewhere between ‘right to expression and civil disobedience’. In the sense that no person is threatened or harmed by the expression, it is effectively ‘peaceful’.
When watching ‘expressions’ and ‘protests’ as bystanders, we need to then reflect on ‘Why are people resorting to this form of expression’ ‘what is happening or not happening’ etc. How does the inconvenience of a traffic jam or cleaning up graffiti stand in comparison to the injustice that is being protested?
From the perspective of Palestinians and those sympathetic, what is happening in Gaza is a matter of ‘Present-Future’, whereas the Vietnam war is a matter of ‘past’. So what is more important: The deaths occurring now or the memorial of deaths of a distant past?I question the effectiveness of ‘expressions’ targeting memorials. There are many different ways to use memorials as a backdrop of protest to amplify a message. But not everyone is blessed with the education and creative thought - and shouldn’t be looked down on because they aren’t as PR savvy as someone else, like myself.
In contrast, the statements by ‘caretakers’ for such memorials call to question the relevance of the memorials. Afterall, the purpose of Public memorials is to remember the past so mistakes are not repeated in the present-future.
We cried, expressed, protested and committed acts of civil disobedience about the injustices of the Vietnam war and swore ‘Never again’. Where do we stand on Gaza-Israel, while we provide material and morale support as a Nation-State? How can we condemn Palestinians for crying, expressing, protesting and committing acts of civil disobedience today?

Why an ‘everything app’ is bad news for liberal democracies and free markets.
India, and other liberal democracies, must prevent any app, foreign or home-grown, from coming to dominate our information space.
