What sunrise sounds like when your neighbouring country is a genocidal, imperialist, fascist regime. Every Russian is guilty.

Nothing could exemplify what this admin’s anti “antifa” agenda amounts to than having Jack Posobiec at their presidential round table — a man who has tweeted 14:88 repeatedly (Neo Nazi code numbers) among other blatant Neo Nazi and fascist signaling

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

This interview with @peterpomerantsev.bsky.social is quite brilliant. »Olesya Khromeychuk spoke to Peter Pomerantsev about the subtleties of waging information warfare, the challenges of cultivating a world of truth and justice today, and creating the kind of space where democracy can be practised.«

I'm sorry to put this in the framework of toxic masculine ideology and languages but I cannot help, in the most 90s way possible, but notice that everyone in this administration is such a fucking pussy that it's embarassing for everyone.

Something hardly anyone in the West understands: »“We’ve been at war with the Russians for 300 years,” he said. “We can hold on for a while longer.”« They won't surrender. Anyone who thinks they will has never been to Ukraine.

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

shane @mouthfulofcavities.bsky.social · 4d

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

You can call it anything you like, because for many of you, words do not have meaning.

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

Text card: Listen for dangerous words.
Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.
