☠️🇭🇺 International neo-Nazis gathered in Budapest yesterday to honor WWII Nazi and allied Hungarian soldiers—under Hungarian police protection. The annual "breakout hike" lets them march in Swastikas and SS uniforms.

Research article "“The Anti-Woke Academy”: Dutch Far-Right Politics of Knowledge About Gender" by Iris B. Seger.

Abstract begins: The Dutch parliamentary far right has been considered a relatively liberal outlier to the gender politics of the European far right, yet recent years have shown the increasing anti-gender mobilization of the party Forum voor Democratie(FvD). Based on a theoretical framework of anti-gender mobilization, the far right, and politics of knowledge, this article explores anti-gender politics as a form of alternative knowledge production through a qualitative content analysis of the FvD’s online presence. Through applying Verloo’s concept of the episteme, this article’s findings show that the FvD mobilizes against epistemic institutions by claiming they disseminate dangerous knowledge about gender, which they argue presents a fundamental threat to society, captured in conspiratorial terms like “transgender ideology” and “woke.”
