I felt this was a very good eye opener on a global scale, (even seeing where Western countries' approximate status too).

Screenshot of text ( the "..." = paragraphs cut due to 2000 description limit) the focus is the 10 stages described: The Logic of the Ten Stages of Genocide By Dr. Gregory Stanton Founding President, Genocide Watch ... ... ... ... ... → The first process is Classification, when we classify the world into us versus them. → The second is Symbolization, when we give names to those classifications like Jew and Aryan, Hutu and Tutsi, Turk and Armenian, Bengali and Pashtun. Sometimes the symbols are physical, like the Nazi yellow star. → The third is Discrimination, when laws and customs prevent groups of people from exercising their full rights as citizens or as human beings. → The fourth is Dehumanization, when perpetrators call their victims rats, or cockroaches, cancer, or disease. Portraying them as non-human makes eliminating them a “cleansing” of the society, rather than murder. These first four processes taken together result in what James Waller calls "Othering." → The fifth process is Organization, when hate groups, armies, and militias organize. → The sixth is Polarization, when moderates are targeted who could stop the process of division, especially moderates from the perpetrators’ group. → The seventh process is Preparation, when plans for killing and deportation are made by leaders, and perpetrators are trained and armed. →The eighth process is Persecution, when victims are identified, arrested, transported, and concentrated into prisons, ghettos, or concentration camps, where they are tortured and murdered. → The ninth process is Extermination, what lawyers define as genocide, the intentional destruction, in whole or in part, of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. ... → Denial. Denial is a continuation of a genocide, because it is a continuing attempt to destroy the victim group psychologically and culturally, to deny its members even the memory of the murders of their relatives. ... ... ... ... ... ...

The article writes FAR more than this on Trump's influence and actions than you make it seem by what you chose to quote..

I just think that's worth paying attention regardless of what it's about ya know?
4/6
Screenshot of article where it goes much more on the Right Wing and Trump, quoting text: "The political right, including President Trump, deserves substantial blame. Yes, he has led a government crackdown against antisemitism on college campuses, and that crackdown has caused colleges to become more serious about addressing the problem. But Mr. Trump has also used the subject as a pretext for his broader campaign against the independence of higher education. The combination risks turning antisemitism into yet another partisan issue, encouraging opponents to dismiss it as one of his invented realities. Even worse, Mr. Trump had made it normal to hate, by using bigoted language about a range of groups, including immigrants, women and trans Americans. Since he entered the political scene, attacks on Asian, Black, Latino and L.G.B.T. Americans have spiked, according to the F.B.I. While he claims to deplore antisemitism, his actions tell a different story. He has dined with a Holocaust denier, and his Republican Party has nominated antisemites for elected offices, including governor of North Carolina. Mr. Trump himself praised as “very fine people” the attendees of a 2017 march in Charlottesville, Va., that featured the chant “Jews will not replace us.” On Jan. 6, 2021, at least one rioter attacking the Capitol screamed that he was looking for “the big Jew,” referring to Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, Mr. Schumer has said. The problem extends to popular culture. Joe Rogan, the podcaster who endorsed Mr. Trump last year, has hosted Holocaust conspiracy theorists on his show. Mr. Rogan once said of Jews, “They run everything.” In the Trumpist right, antisemitism has a home."

I can not see anywhere in the article stating what you wrote about "... especially on the left..".

(You've not used quotations so this is your personal opinion?)

(Also being a bit more suspicious of the use of M Dashes — as that's fairly Chat GPT style lately).

What my response would have been.. 3/20
My reply that I decided not to send, it would have been: Well I guess that makes sense, if that is what Staffers are for? But what are the legal obligations of MPs / or Staffers when sifting through letters and emails? (*) I guess having an Mp who is full steam to harm makes me wonder.. " *Having an MP that categorically is doing everything against Human Rights, makes me wonder why emails etc. would ever be given the time of day, esp. when not knowing if it's even legal to disregard.

Apparently I AM the Patriarchy!

(News to me 😂)

But if that were true it would have been dismantled like 🫰

One day we WILL see a better day.
I have hope.

This pretty much this is a disaster for small businesses, creators when you think about how many use these services to make a living.

I've already seen an example of a creator apologising that they can't ship their D&D dice products due to this struggle.

Screenshot that reads: "Examples of When You’ll Need an Authorised Representative * Amazon Sellers: You import electronic gadgets from China and sell them directly to EU customers. If the manufacturer has not appointed an authorised representative, you need to do so. * Etsy Artisans: You create handmade jewellery in the UK and sell to customers in the EU. As the manufacturer, you’re responsible for appointing a representative to ensure compliance. *Distributors: You source home décor items from Asia to sell in Europe. Without an authorised representative in the supply chain, you must appoint one to avoid regulatory issues."

I think this is basically what I came across generally with my original thought (screenshots):

www.globaltimes.cn/page/202410/...

It's helped to get more of a grasp, which has adjusted my views a bit better.

Original post from BrooklynDad_Defiant (a video play button is on the post too), says: President Biden reminding folks that HE'S responsible for helping to prevent Putin from defeating Ukraine: "Since that war began, I'm the only one who stood in the center of Kyiv, not him!" My reply 1/2: I'm not entirely sure about this, so please correct me, but I thought that the help sent to Ukraine was solely enough to push back a little, but never enough that could have brought a bigger impact to help, like intentionally done so. I think this was about a year ago. ( My reply 2/2: I was going to delete this due to not having enough information to feel able to make any post, but I'll post it anyways, to be able to look back after trying to find where/ what I thought I came across this, (just to try and be honest with old views, dust off info, links.. correct myself).
