Pidin eilen Tampereen Radikaaliklubissa esitelmän suomalaisesta laitaoikeistosta. Tiivis paketti siitä mikä on laitaoikeisto, ketkä ovat sen keskeiset toimijat ja heidän väliset kytkökset?

“We had whistles, they had guns”
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Sort of wild to see that Libs of TikTok content had more hits on Truth Social than the official White House account did last week.
It's no surprise that President Trump's posts consistently perform well on Truth Social. He owns the platform. But who else sees heavy engagement on the site?
Our researchers found 619 posts that were re-shared 500+ times in the last week. Second behind Trump? Anti-LGBTQ+ account Libs of TikTok.

Halusin tietää yhden maalauksen taustoja. Google ei antanut mitään vastausta, joten kysyin tekoälyltä. Tekoäly taas konsultoi Redditiä. Niinku kyllä mä itsekin voin käydä redditissä, mutta eikö Noé Leónin "Misionero Comido por Tigre" taulun taustoista ole luotettavampaa lähdettä?

TPUSA's "All-American Halftime Show" captured the attention of right-wing audiences during Super Bowl LX, but not because of who performed. We found that prominent right-wing communities talked about Bad Bunny more than any of the artists on TPUSA's lineup.

There are psychologically broken people. The culture they stew in turns them rotten, and then their control of the state enables them to weaponize that lack of emotional and psychological well-being against the rest of us on a mass scale.
