Why is far right German member of European Parliament & Russian asset, Christine Anderson, posting pictures of herself with Tamara Lich & #JCCF’s Keith Wilson yesterday?
Interesting to note, Lich helped start #WEXIT. The global far right is Putin’s ace in the hole. #cdnpoli

But here’s ADF’s Christine Anderson with another man. A Quebec resident named Kim Tsoj. He posts about Christine Anderson a lot. #FreeDumbConvoy #cdnpoli #CdnFarRight
Why, Americans wonder, would the GOP embrace [] anti-American and nakedly brutal politics and policies?

Why would they try so hard to destroy Medicare and Social Security? Why would they mourn the loss of Trump’s program to tear children from their families and throw them into cages?
Why are they so enthusiastic about efforts to make it harder to vote that Ron DeSantis would delight in parading 15 Black voters before the cameras in chains?

Giorgia Meloni quotes GK Chesterton, who, like her, held questionable views on Jews, race, & immigration. He believed women belong in the home, & women’s suffrage was a cause of unhappiness among his peers. According to Chesterton, Meloni shouldn't even speak in public.

Chesterton wrote "the essence of Nazi Nationalism is to preserve the purity of a race in a continent where all races are impure." Yet Meloni talks of the threat of “ethnic substitution” & of the need to defend our “genetic code”. Ethnic nationalism is the essence of #fascism.
When Meloni denounces George Soros as the 'enemy', & speaks of her resistance to becoming a “perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators”, she is (un)subtly conflating financial oppression & Jews. Financial speculators preying upon Christians is an old antisemitic trope.
The UK Govt has guidance on promoting the "four fundamental British values" which "underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern & diverse Great Britain valuing our community & celebrating diversity of the UK", which include "respect & tolerance."

“I’m proud of the British Empire, I’m not going to apologise for our past history” - grotesque Suella Braverman responding to a question from The Telegraph’s Christopher Hope - a politician & a newspaper whose rhetoric has more in common with #neofascism that social democracy.
"Braverman typifies a kind of conservatism that thrives on division & on a cruel & self-righteous attitude to society’s most vulnerable. A conservatism that doesn’t send the ladder down, but rather pulls it up & mans the ramparts of wealth & privilege."

This makes me sick to my stomach.
GB "News" is giving airtime to one of the most influential far-right voices in Europe, who until recently was denying the #Holocaust.
FFS @Ofcom, what will it take to reign in this dangerously irresponsible Channel?

And of course this grotesque dangerous far-right freak is being amplified by Sophie Corcoran.
Whatever happened to #NeverForget & #NeverAgain?
This is horrific, & extremely dangerous.
British people should be appalled that GB "News" is shamelessly platforming the far-right.

Peter Imanuelsen, aka Peter Sweden, is a far-right British national, a conspiracy theorist & a "xenophobic pseudo-journalist who has denied the #Holocaust, called the moon landing a “hoax,” & suggested that #LGBTQ people be sent to camps."

Remember the far-right youth group, Turning Point UK, supported by Jacob Rees-Mogg, Priti Patel & Steve Baker & modelled on the #neofascist TPUSA, which tried to infiltrate Universities & poison young people's minds?
They're back, & now called 'Orthodox Conservatives'.

Much of TPUSA's money comes from mining & oil interests, as well as libertarian/far-right thinktanks - its mission is to "identify, educate, train, & organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, & limited government."
TPUSA makes headlines for supposed racist, sexist, & misleading statements, & for having very little transparency in its day-to-day running.
Candae Owens was TPUSA’s director of communications - her & founder Charlie Kirk lie & promote unhinged conspiracy theories.

Today I've seen a number of trending hashtags with a common theme: the UK Government's increasingly obvious #Fascist tendencies.

#THREAD on what Linguist Ruth Wodak calls 'shameless normalisation', which explicitly refers to ‘impolite or shameless behaviour’ manifested in "the far-right populists’ agendas (& related rhetoric)... which have already reached the political mainstream."
This is exactly what #neofascism looks & sounds like.
The average British voter's understanding of post-war #fascism is woefully inadequate, rendering them incapable of making informed judgements about, & therefore easily manipulated by, right-wing newspapers & the UK Government's divisive rhetoric.

In May, Hungary’s authoritarian far-right nationalist leader, Viktor Orbán, hosted America’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), designed to strengthen links between the radical right in the US & Europe under the banner of the “great replacement” conspiracy.
In May, Hungary’s authoritarian far-right nationalist leader, Viktor Orbán, hosted America’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), designed to strengthen links between the radical right in the US & Europe under the banner of the “great replacement” conspiracy.
CPAC is an annual conference attended by conservative activists & elected officials from across the USA & beyond. CPAC is hosted by the oldest ongoing conservative lobbying organization in the US, the controversial American Conservative Union (ACU), founded in 1964.
CPAC itself was founded in 1974 by the American Conservative Union & Young Americans for Freedom - a conservative youth activism organization that was founded in 1960 as a coalition between traditional conservatives & libertarians on US college campuses.

«For evidence of the connection between #neofascism and #neoliberalism, we need look no further than the fact that no neofascist political formation has actually imposed controls over cross-border financial flows»
«Ultimately, it is only by implementing such controls—along with strong domestic welfare policies—that we can escape this alliance. To assess the prospects for such a shift, it is essential to appreciate the distinctive features of the new #fascism»
