Wenn man mich fragt, warum ich mit der Schriftstellerei weitergemacht hab.

A "salute resembling a nazi salute" is a nazi salute in any context where the performer knows about nazi salutes. The most benevolent interpretation would be that CPAC is Nuremberg Parteitag cosplay - I fear it might be more aspirational than that...

No, #CNN, young people are not "powering" the rise of #fascism in #Germany edition.cnn.com/2025/02/20/e... The AfD has roughly equal percentages across the age ranges - among young people actually a bit lower than across generations (though not much) 1/3

The US government is much less covert in its attempt to nazify Germany than its Russian coconspirators

Die Linkspartei hat jetzt mehr als 91.000 Mitglieder, 10.000 mehr als vor einer Woche, 30.000 mehr als vor drei Wochen, so viele wie zuletzt 1998 die PDS hatte (Die Linke selbst zu Höchstzeiten nicht). Ein Drittel der Mitglieder ist seit weniger als einem Monat dabei.

... in order to be a #fascist it is enough to want to do fascist things like jailing journalists - that they are still free only indicates that the fascist coup has not been a complete success. Yet. Musk is a fascist. Trump is a fascist.

Did YOU know that Niemöller was a Nazi? I sure didn’t. This is an excellent essay on fascism and enabling. Read it!

Wrong take. Trump can stop his nazi buddy anytime he wants to. He does not at the moment, so by letting him run the country, Trump does run the country. In an increasingly dictatorial manner. The American people elected a fascist for president. And that is the problem.

Was man auch nicht vergessen darf: das sind alles Scam-Artists. Der Präsident selbst zockt einfach Leute ab und theatert sie in irgendwelche schwindligen Deals rein. Neoliberalismus im Endstadium, weit weg von irgendeiner Verantwortung für andere. Glaubt diesen Menschen nichtmal den Wetterbericht.

These whole "oh, it might just be a provocation"-style considerations, "what does he actually mean?" etc. or "might" it "foreshadow" something. The coup is in process. The quote justifies measures so far and yet to come and encourages far-right violence. us.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Es ist die Inkompetenz der Twitter-Entlassungen all over again. Sie können wirklich nichts anderes. Das ist die einzige Management-Technik, die Musk & Trump beherrschen. Aufs Geratewohl Leute feuern, völlig ohne Sinn und ohne Plan.

Wusstest du, dass @vonderleyen die Antidiskrimminierungsrichtlinie aus ihrem Arbeitsprogramm genommen genommen hat? Ein trauriges Zeichen, dass 500.Mio behinderte Menschen, so wie Menschen aus der Queer Community nicht mehr auf die @EU_Commission zählen können. #Disability #Queer

If this is not an open admission to being in the process of a coup d'état, what is?

the thing about the civil rights movement is that they weren't a mass movement, not really. the freedom rides and the freedom summer were a few thousand people. but they understood that despite lacking all formal power, they could create confrontations that advanced their narrative. it worked.
