i had an argument here awhile ago with someone defending #Palestinian advocacy groups using #Tiktok
#Tiktok is partly owned by a guy who also funds #rightWing #Likud thinktanks in #Israel
and he's the largest donor to the #GOP: #JeffYass
why the fuck do they trust that!?
it's like "please track me"
da fuq?
I just saw this on Facebook.
The thing about rightwing Star Wars fans is they are *often* rooting for the Empire.
Many moons ago, I had the pleasure of playing Star Wars Galaxies, before it was murdered by its publisher trying to turn it into a Star Wars themed World of Warcraft clone.
You could be either a rebel or an imperial, and there was PvP between the factions. People flocked to the Empire and really got into it - empire players outnumbered us rebels!
if you're not angry you're not paying attention.
time to make your voice heard.

“The videos were attributed on #Telegram to “#Melbourne #FreedomRally”, a large #RightWing group that led #protests against Covid restrictions during the #pandemic.
#DanielJones of self-defence company #TacticalForceCombatives claimed on Facebook to have taken part in the stunt. In a video posted this morning, Jones claimed to be “asking #Albanese some questions”, and said there was nothing “James Bond” about tracking down the #PrimeMinister.”

“many Liberal & National Party figures are integrated in that ARC conference organisation, an international body that aims to “save” Judeo-Christian/Western civilisation from secular humanism (& Muslims). It is an Atlas Network-interlinked organisation.
(The Atlas Network is the global linking body that promotes “partners” like the Institute of Public Affairs’ disseminating business messaging and, functionally, promoting culture wars. Much of the partners’ funding is fossil-fuel derived and delaying climate action has been a primary focus.)”

The #Trump admin has handpicked which #news #media outlets can participate in the presidential #PressPool, & on Tues it eliminated a slot reserved for reporters from independent newswires.
In the briefing room, ofcls have made room for a new cohort of more #partisan attendees, like #RightWing podcasters, who ask less-adversarial questions than traditional #journalists.…

Yeah its pretty fucking crazy that within a couple of months of taking office #Trump was able to set up #ICE, #internment camps across the country, a network of #rightwing agents, & pass the #PatriotAct & other #laws that all gave the state unlimited power to do whatever it wants, wild stuff.
"Nathan Cofnas, a #rightwing philosophy professor and self-described “race realist” fixated on group differences in I.Q., wrote on X, “All over the world, almost everyone with more than half a brain is looking at the disaster of #Trump (along with #Putin, Yoon Suk #Yeol, et al.) and drawing the very reasonable conclusion that right-wing, anti-woke parties are incapable of effective governance.” (Yoon Suk Yeol is South Korea’s recently impeached president.)
Scott Siskind, who blogs under the pseudonym Scott Alexander, has been an influential figure in #SiliconValley’s revolt against #socialjustice ideology, though he’s never been a Trump supporter. Last week, he asked whether “edgy heterodox centrists” like himself paved the way for Trump by opening the door to once-verboten arguments. In an imaginary Socratic dialogue, he wrote, “We wanted a swift, lean government that stopped strangling #innovation and infrastructure. Instead we got chain-saw-style firings, total devastation of state capacity in exactly the way most likely to strangle innovation more than ever, and the worst and dumbest people in the world gloating about how they solved the ‘grift’ of sending lifesaving medications to dying babies.”
The #TeslaTakedown Shows How We Can Make #Oligarchs Feel the Pain
The “#Tesla #Takedown” #protests reveal a major vulnerability of the #TrumpRegime.
Sunjeev Bery
April 13 2025, 6:00 a.m.
"On April 5, vast crowds of people took to the streets across America to oppose the policies of the Trump regime. The nationwide Hands Off protests felt like a collective decision to stop doomscrolling and start coming together against our country’s lurch toward authoritarianism. The next step is to turn the crowds, speeches, and witty signs into a powerful force with a clear and systematic plan for breaking Trump’s dark vision for our future.
"While Trump possesses the formal authority of the federal government, history is full of examples in which an angry public can bring all of that crashing down by moving from passive acceptance to active opposition. At present, the path to that decisive future may seem hard to discern. But there are already networks of resistance that have shown early signs of success, and the 'Tesla Takedown' movement stands at the top of that list.
"By protesting Tesla dealerships across the U.S., the grassroots campaign has ripped a hole in the wealth of Trump’s most supportive oligarch: Elon Musk. In doing so, the movement has demonstrated that America’s financial and corporate elites are far more vulnerable than they would have us believe. Tesla Takedown organizers have described a powerful surge of activism that combines deep opposition to both Musk and Trump with a sense of community and even joy. 'There’s this bond of being with people who share your love of democracy, decency, and the rule of law,' said retired Colby College history professor Elizabeth Leonard, who organizes Tesla Takedown protests in #WatervilleME.
"Thanks to the Tesla Takedown movement and the broad anti-Musk revulsion that activists have channeled, Musk’s political and commercial fortunes appear to be in decline. He is still the world’s wealthiest man, but he has lost his air of invincibility and increasingly looks like a stumbling buffoon. His political intervention in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race backfired spectacularly, with a state that previously voted for Trump in 2024 by a 1 percent margin electing the Democratic Supreme Court candidate by a whopping 10 percentage points. Tesla stock has dropped some 40 percent since the start of the year, erasing $135 billion in Musk’s wealth. And following Musk’s toxic interventions in U.S. politics, Trump has reportedly said that Musk will be stepping back from his public White House role.
"Through its victories, the Tesla Takedown community has revealed a major vulnerability of the Trump regime. Many of the oligarchic elites who back Trump’s agenda get their wealth from the very public whose broad interests Trump is now attacking. Tesla, #Amazon, #Meta, and other companies depend on the American populace for their profits, even as their owners have lent their support to Trump’s unpopular right-wing agenda, which is squeezing the material wealth and rights of the American people. When activists connect these dots through compelling campaigns, they can hold Trump’s oligarchic enablers directly accountable by draining their wealth.
Tesla itself is now in a downward slide that could mark the early stages of an death spiral — or at least a significant reassessment by investors who have treated Tesla as something far bigger than simply a car company. Sales continue to decline across the U.S. and Europe, with 2025 first quarter numbers showing a 13 percent drop. Meanwhile, major Chinese electric vehicle competitor BYD reported a 60 percent increase in sales during the same period.
In response to the anti-Tesla backlash, Musk embarked on a dubious right-wing outreach strategy that will only further alienate his original climate-conscious customer base. First, he had Trump turn the White House into a Tesla dealership. Then came the public support of #RightWing voices, including #MAGA supporters, #WhiteSupremacist #Proud Boys, and militia groups. It seems '#Swasticar' is no longer just a meme.
"The success of the Tesla Takedown movement opens the door to the question of what comes next. Can the movement take on more of Musk’s wealth — including #SpaceX? Can protesters leverage their momentum to go after a wider range of targets, including the other oligarchs who have backed Trump? Will the anti-Musk community translate its ability to capture headlines into direct pressure on the political system itself? By broadening the attack on Musk’s interests and targeting more Trump-supporting oligarchs, the Tesla Takedown movement can help bring an end to Trump’s authoritarian policies."

#Germany seeks to #deport #protesters
Submitted by webadmin on 9 April, 2025
"The German state has issued deportation orders for three #EUCitizens and one #American who have attended #ProPalestinian protests.
"Berlin immigration authorities issued the orders on 31 March, demanding that the four individuals leave Germany within one month or else face deportation. Their orders cite a protest in October 2024 in which masked individuals caused 'significant property damage, including #graffiti', as well as resisting arrest and calling a #police officer a '#fascist'.
"Unusually, three of the four orders also invoke the German principle of #Staatsräson, (“#StateReason”). This term originates from a speech #AngelaMerkel gave to the #IsraeliKnesset in 2008, asserting that #Israeli security was fundamental to the purpose of the German state.
"Staatsräson is not an officially defined term or codified anywhere in the German constitution or by German courts. At least two of the protestors are appealing the decision, with their lawyer telling Al-Monitor that it is a 'political concept, not a legal concept, and therefore unlawful'.
"In any case, the #deportation of #activists for #protesting should be opposed.
"The activists’ lawyer has drawn parallels to the case of #MahmoudKhalil in the US. 'I see similarities… It is weaponization of #ImmigrationLaw as a tool to silence #PoliticalDissent'. Khalil’s case may also lead to a debate on interpretations of the US constitution’s #FirstAmendment.
"Back in February, #Berlin police broke up a protest, citing a ban on '#ArabicChanting', the playing of #ArabicMusic, or giving a speech in #Arabic. In October 2024, police raided the homes of five men, four of whom were being investigated over 'authorship of #antisemitic social media posts'.
Clapping
"And after the joint Israeli-Palestinian documentary #NoOtherLand won an Academy Award, German culture minister Claudia Roth insisted that she was only clapping for Israeli director Yuval Abraham, not Palestinian director #BaselAdra. Several politicians, including the mayor of Berlin, called for her resignation. A torrent of public criticism was aimed at #YuvalAbraham for his acceptance speech, to which he responded: 'To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire — and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger.'
"Israeli politicians cited German politicians when attacking the filmmakers themselves, and only weeks later, co-director #HamdanBallal was attacked by #IsraeliSettlers in the #WestBank, and removed from an ambulance by #IDF soldiers.
"German Staatsräson is less about assuring Israel’s right to exist, and more about giving a free hand to the #repressive policies of the Israeli right."

”USA will be the most dominant state ever, economically”, says Trump.
This reveals a few key thigs:
- MAGA is and always has been about dominance. It is absolutely central and will not budge for anything.
- They are only seeking subservience from their allies. There will be no win-win deals.
Nations will fair better taking their business elsewhere.

#TheAmericanFascist uttered this morning.
“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.”
The left wing social democratic forces of the world (including the #Liberals and #NDP in Canada) have been so neutered and brow beaten into incrementalism and neo-Liberal corporate capture, that a right wing, billionaire-wannabe, near-Nazi fascist, and politicians who want to be like him (Pierre Poillievre) have stolen the rallying cries of working men and women (but mostly men).
These were the warnings working people and socialist forces screamed when Free Trade and privatization was born by Reagan and Mulroney, Thatcher and Chirac. The de-unionization of western economies, the decimation of public infrastructure for private “partnerships”…
Now here we are, it all got so bad that the regular person, struggling to put inflated food on the table, or put their children through inflated college, are so fed up that they submit to the regressive, racist, anti-human, bloviations of populist tyrants.
A pox on you, “Liberals” and “Democrats” of the world.
You chose corporations while you placated people with false promises and false hopes.
You enabled the worst of the human condition through complacency and greed.
Your limp, unconvincing defence of Liberalism and Democratic values destroyed both.
What will you do to win back the podium to speak for working people? Perhaps you don’t deserve to.
