Loving all these far-right dimwits outing themselves: maybe GB "News" might do something positive for Britain - despite their best intentions?

Keith is on Parler - the self-help site for lonely extremists.

I feel very sorry for self-identifying "Brexit Free Spirit" & Trump-supporting free speech warrior "Paul" - not only has he had to endure endless hours of footage of Nigel Farage doing his Neil Oliver impression by looking stupid on the south coast, but now this...

Wouldn't this be a *tragic loss* for the nation? 🤣👍

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please...

Twitter trolls know that racist/hateful content about a high profile event will be widely condemned online. But condemnation serves to further magnify the impact of these posts: positive message will be overshadowed by discussions of hateful/racist posts.

theconversation.com/euro-2020-coul…
What is surprising is that @Twitter allows the process to continue. There is no ambiguity about these outcomes, only variability in the scale. Twitter has archives of online firestorms in many contexts & is aware of the conditions, characteristics & outcomes of these occurrences.
Based on this knowledge, the rapid immediate cascades that result in the predictable cycle of hateful content and condemnation could be minimised using tools Twitter have already developed, such as prompting users to rethink their tweets that may include harmful language.

Black people are about 18 times more likely to be searched than their white counterparts.

But according to our culture war Government, structural & institutional racism doesn't exist.

BME children make up over half of the child population in prison (28% are black). This is an increase of 15% over the past decade.

But according to the culture war Government, structural & institutional racism doesn't exist. Image
By the end of secondary school, Gypsy, Roma & Traveller pupils are almost three years - & black Caribbean students 11 months - behind their white British counterparts.

Like Ghoulia Heartless-Spewer reads books.

Every cloud @Waterstones. 👍 Image
I quite like Waterstones, but in May 2011 it was announced that A&NN Capital Fund Management, owned by Russian billionaire Alexander Mamut, had bought the chain for £53.5 MILLION, & in April 2018, hedge fund 'Elliott Management Corporation' bought a majority stake in the company.
Elliott Management Corporation is a US investment management firm - a vulture fund - founded by hard-right Republican donor Paul Singer, who supports pro-Israel causes, funding for the libertarian free-market Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, &, curiously, #LGBTQ rights.🤔 Image

You might have seen the Tory manifesto - sorry, Laurence W. Britt’s “14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism” circulating online.

The first version was published in an article titled “Fascism, Anyone?” in the Spring, 2003 issue of Free Inquiry, a secular humanist magazine.
Since then, many altered versions have been in circulation.

This article looks at the lists evolution, especially the version circulated on a website run by Jeff Rense, a right-wing talk radio host.

danielmalmer.medium.com/the-long-compl…
Jeff Rinse is accused of promoting antisemitism, & has given a platform to a number of racist extremists like David Duke. His website is teeming with conspiracy theories, & his show has hosted conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones & David Icke.

Anyway, let's explore the original.

England player Tyrone Mings: “You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.”

👏👏👏👏👊

theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/j…
Sir Peter Fahy, the former chief constable of Greater Manchester and vice-chair of the body representing police chiefs: some politicians had “wilfully” misinterpreted why the England players were making the protest gesture.

👏👏👏👏👏👍
Sir Peter Fahy: “You need to take a very clear stance on anti-racism. I do think you cannot be passively anti-racist. You have to resist it [anti-racism] being a political issue and be clear it is a moral issue. You have to make your position crystal clear."

👏👏👏👏👏

It's now *crystal clear* that we have *by far* the most corrupt, anti-democratic, divisive, dangerous, irresponsible, free-market fundamentalist, populist nationalist, borderline fascist UK Govt in history, led by a damaged lying psychopath.

In the absence of a written constitution, & with a large majority, the Govt now threatens our democracy, economy, & quality of life: obviously borrowing from the Nazi playbook, they've abandoned all pretense at operating within the confines of the law:

It's important to understand what the 'culture war' is for, how it works, why it's an effective strategy, & why progressives have to be careful in how we respond to the relentless gaslighting & provocations from politicians & the "news" & politics media:
