  1. Luigi #Pantisano ist ein lopenreiner #Populist - und noch dazu ein sehr unsympathischer - gerade im Vergleich zu van Aken.
    Mit ihm wird die #Linke wieder abwirtschaften. Ein unmöglicher Typ, der sich auch noch selbst in seiner Rolle völlig unkritisch gefällt.
    Leute, was haben wir auch für PolitikerInnen ☹️

  2. #Trump, #Musk, #Putin, #Netanjahu, #Erdoğan, #Orban, #LePenn, and #Kickl are #populist #fascists. There, I said it publicly.

    Many more western politicians have clear fascist, illiberal tendencies, including previous #FPÖVP chancellors and current governors (Austrian #federalism does not work any more and needs to be severely limited to get back to a functioning government).

    [derstandard.at/story/300000002 is a good summary of some reasonable criteria for spotting #fascism, and diepresse.com/19301692/haben-w gives more insight into the Austrian variant. aaup.org/news/professors-are-n gives links to the current US government fight against academia.]

    The result of this toot is probably that I _really_ shouldn't be traveling to the #US, #Israel, or #Turkey with their current governments. Luckily, I still dare write such statements publicly in Austria and the wider EU. If I really have to get into political trouble, then let it be because I denounce fascism and oppose the abuse of technology to build surveillance states driven by fear. I will not fight with violence, but I can and will fight it with words.

  3. Fearing #populist movements like the #culturalRevolution in #China or #cambodia’s #killingField’s where the educated population that survived was forcibly relocated to work in ag

    Comparing that to #trump / #maga #fascism where the #trueBelievers are mostly uneducated rural: 70% of the nations GDP generated by #biden voters

    Their revenge that wishes harm to those who have been successful

    Maybe we should prepare this time to win the #classWarfare?
