Misschien luisteren naar mensen die hier al veel langer voor waarschuwen.
Wat is er nodig om eindelijk te handelen nu vanuit Amerika het onversneden fascisme ons recht in het gezicht staart?

Het probleem is dat mensen die al van mijlenver zagen aankomen dat fascisme terrein aan het winnen was, voor gek werden verklaard en hen werd verweten dat ze deze begrippen te gratuit gebruikten.
Als je iets pas gaat benoemen als het je recht in het gezicht staart, ben je al te laat.

Om te kunnen reageren op een vijand, moet je hem als vijand herkennen.
Een jaar geleden al zei Trump dat hij Groenland zou innemen.
Om verkiezingen op de lange baan te schuiven zijn conflicten voor trumpisten welkom.
Soms vraag ik me af of de passiviteit komt door gebrek aan overlevingsinstinct.

Er kan echt niet genoeg benadrukt worden dat het Nederlandse equivalent van MAGA hetzelfde wil voor NL en Europa. en dat de terughoudendheid van de journalistiek om het benoemen voor wat het is, tot soortgelijke perikelen zal leiden.

Wat is het lelijk, dat meer mensen op X bezig zijn met 'linkse media' doen niets aan Iran, dan dat ze echt geven om Iraniërs. En al helemaal die opruiende opiniemaker van De Telegraaf, de krant die net zo veel - of weinig - aan Iran doet dan de rest.

Trump is doing to politics what biz schools taught future CEOs to do: break the social contract (e.g., the one btw mgmt & labor that once ensured steady jobs) & extract all the value stored inside.
This will have the same effect on politics as it did on the labor mkt: instability & immiseration.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

genuinely fascinating to me that even after an american is executed in the street by the state your instinct is not to condemn and discuss this on its own terms but to use it as fodder for abstraction and discourse policing
It’s not even so much about “sane” vs. “insane” anymore, as it so often was circa 2020. The fundamental split today is between the *decent* and the *indecent.* It is monstrous to desire, excuse, sanitize, whitewash avoidable killing even of one’s perceived foes.

While his country struggles with overlapping crises and puts together a new government, Wilders travels the world (paid?) saying Amsterdam is a war zone and people get jailed for their opinions. Perhaps someone can ask for examples? Or ask when he last walked 400m through Amsterdam?
Zoals gebruikelijk verspreidde Wilders in Texas haat en leugens: "As I said in Europe we are living to a tragedy of our own making. Freedom of speech in Europe is already gone. In Europe the truth is now a crime and you can be send to prison for the words you speak."

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.
I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:
"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

I was told that the US is running Venezuela now and it would be easy and there'd be lots of money... and now the US govt is telling Americans to get the hell out.
These guys don't even know what a plan is. It's all just wish casting. It's incredible that they currently run the world.

Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
