It's hard for people with low self-esteem to not buy into the bullying crowd once they realize they are all welcome there, and it beats being a target. The price is your soul.

"Right-wing extremists aimed to march through Berlin's district of Friedrichshain. However, they didn't get very far as counter-protests blocked the way."

@aerofreak @DoomsdaysCW @breadandcircuses
Aerofreak, what is your definition of capitalism?
agreement if:
a) you are talking about the almost completely unregulated mess the #neoliberal #extremists have foisted on us.
AND
b) agree that market forces/better mousetrap opportunities are essential to developing new, and improving existing, goods and services.
My POV: people are a complex mix of competitive and collaborative, and one of the powerful motivators is to solve problems. Any solution needs to build on both of those.
(Yes, there are those whose sole goals are money and/or power, but they are not the majority, even if they won in 2024. And a challenge moving forward is how to manage that. I think the New Deal through Civil Rights era show that it's possible to do so.)

Not everyone has the courage to endanger himself
(or endanger their family members)
for moral principle or ethical issues
Better to obey ... to bend,
it is easier...
safer.
Complaining about getting a lot of #deaththreats ? Why not:
- avoid threatening invaded countries to cut them off vital communications
- stop paying #extremists in #europeanelections
- avoid taking away the lifes of thousands of families of #federalworkers
- stay out of the #personaldata of millions of #citizens
And simply:
- stick to stupid things like making #tesla's or flying to #mars

#Extremists would not need to create #authoritarian state in #Britain: #Starmer is doing that for them
3 authoritarian state features
- Persecution of #dissent
- Parajudicial measures to shut down opposition
- Selective application of law
All 3 are widely deployed in #UK
Introduced by #Tories, sustained & defended by Starmer's Party

When I applied for a talk on #AI at the #winterkongress in #Switzerland the world looked different
Now we are a couple of days from the #elections in #Germany. An election that will be a huge success for the #right-winged #extremists
Not only in votes, but because they herded most of the other parties to the right.
In this election, like in so many others, we do not talk about #power or #climatechange but about taking human rights from people
Power is the problem not refugees

"Unless evidence of violations is presented, such comments undermine the men & women of the #FBI. The FBI invites #DHS to partner in determining the source of any leaked information & working together professionally to ensure the safety & security of ongoing #immigration enforcement operations," it said.

"The FBl is so corrupt. We will work with any & every agency to stop leaks & prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law," #KristiNoem said.
"Making unfounded allegations calling #FBI agents corrupt is deeply irresponsible & has not been supported by any evidence to date," the FBI said in a statement on Friday.
They make claims at odds with reality and use eagerness to repeat them as a test of loyalty. The result is politicians acting in seemingly irrational ways, to the detriment of their own standing with voters and against the interests of the country.

Data on #DomesticTerrorism investigations indicate #FarRight #extremists have been a rising threat to Americans over the past half decade….The rate of increase in domestic-terrorism-related cases is eye-popping: A Feb 2023 Govt Accountability Office report found the #FBI tallied 9,049 such cases in 2021, up from 5,557 in 2020; 4,092 such cases in 2019; & 3,714 in 2018. In 2017, the year of #UniteTheRight, there were 1,890 domestic-terrorism-related cases, nearly equivalent to the preceding 4yrs.

ready for a small #ww2 #nazi #Germany #history lesson?
1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces
2. this #bs #historian https://youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)
no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people
in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process
also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )
check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion”
Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

Neo-#Nazis exposed in #Ohio 
A group waving #swastika flags near #Cincinnati has been identified—the same #extremists who marched in #Columbus in Nov 2024. Their leader, #AnthonyAltick, allegedly has a violent criminal record and only served 2 years for taking a life while illegally armed. These hate groups thrive in the shadows—share their names, share their faces. We must call them out.

Well Professor, you might like this essay;
https://gchrd.org/ReligionAndFreedom.html
#Religious #extremists from all faiths should not have a place on the streets of #Europe. If you promote harm to anyone else on the basis of faith then it should be prison, period. We must stand up for those wronged by religious zealots across the world, whether it is the #Muslim victims in India or the #Christian victims in Egypt.
Lets tolerate everyone regardless of faith, or no faith. After all beliefs are personal... and should stay that way.
