1/ For some reason I hadn't seen this. A far-right anti-semitic extremist attack on a Synagogue during #YomKippur, known as "the day of atonement".

cnn.com/2019/10/11/eur…
2/ The far-right extremist confessed. His profile is not that different from the far-right young American #incels radicalized online by "professional" white nationalists.

3/ It's time to re-negotiate our "tolerance with intolerance". Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that, "In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." And he was right.
4/ Popper wrote a 2 volume philosophical work defending the open society against its enemies and presenting a critique of historical determinism.
5/ We are seeing historical determinism fall apart in front of us. I recommend going back to the classics, as always (free download):

1/ The far-right attack on the Vatican: why does it matter to everyone
As the Amazon Synod was being prepared and took place, a dark movement within and around the Catholic Church started to stick its ugly head out: the Catholic far-right
2/ Cardinal Schönborn emphasized a position adopted by Pope Francis as he was elected: to listen to the people.

3/ As I will try to show, this movement towards the people, the disenfranchised began in the 60-70s and has been slowly moving. The Catholic Church moves slowly.

1/ "At least 15 people have been killed in protests over inequality in the worst violence the country has seen in decades." - I'm writing this thread as I fish links and try to make sense of this to non-Latinamericans.

2/ It's not really about bus fares. And we should watch very carefully because it was *exactly* over protests about bus fares in Brazil that the RW capitalized unrest and discontent and rise to power

nytimes.com/2019/10/22/opi…
3/ If you read the @nytimes article above, pay attention to the expression "capitalist oasis". Economic grown in developing countries is not such a piece-of-cake to understand. It's a very bumpy road.

Anti-Muslim #extremist #HATEGROUP ACT says it will host $1,500-a-plate gala at Trump’s Mar-a-Lardo

“The hate group makes money and ... Trump makes money. It’s a win-win for bigotry.”
miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
The jump in ticket prices also reflects how controversial groups may seek to use @realDonaldTrump properties to boost their own profiles...thus giving them more opportunity to recruit, radicalize and spread their hate-filled propaganda. ⚠️
ACT for America would likely be the most extreme group to book a major event at Mar-a-Lardo.

The club has seen its revenue dip due to @realDonaldTrump’s #whitesupremacist rhetoric

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday
