Extremists on the internet

mercredi 16 août 2017 à 02:00

Various companies that provide support for internet sites and communication have begun kicking off right-wing extremists such as the Nazi "Stormer" site.

When the extremists use dog-whistles to arouse hatred and violence, then claim it was only irony, they are trying to have it both ways. It is legitimate to tell them they ought to know that this an appeal to violence.

Nazis have a right to hold rallies. But not the right to incite and prepare violence in them.

Salafi Arabia princes

Salafi Arabia has grabbed and disappeared several dissident princes, in acts which include kidnapping, treachery, or the extrajudicial cooperation of other countries.

PISSI-occupied Raqqa

mercredi 16 août 2017 à 02:00

It is getting harder to survive in PISSI-occupied Raqqa, but easier to leave as the liberation forces come further into the city. Those who escape pass their remaining food supplies to those who must remain, and those must pretend to be sincere and convinced supporters of PISSI or be executed.

The description reminds me of what I have read about other totalitarian states, such as the Soviet Union, East Germany, and China under the cultural revolution. It is hell on Earth.

It will be hard, in the future, for Syrians to distinguish between PISSI's real supporters (dangerous hidden enemies) and those who pretended.

Financial crisis victors

10 years after the financial crisis, the rich victors are squeezing the defeated poor ever more, and giving a boost to right-wing populists offering misguided "solutions".

US thugs in Charlottesville

mercredi 16 août 2017 à 02:00

US thugs eagerly kill blacks without waiting to see if they do anything wrong, but they are as tame as kittens towards armed and threatening whites.

Seeing that sort of behavior towards a peaceful protest is what radicalized Malcolm X.

Some Republicans condemn the right-wing extremist violence now that it has broken out, but they helped stoke it for years.
