I see one of the far-right's preferred UK academics, Matt Goodwin, was spouting his usual misleading, infantile reality-denying shite at the National Conservatism conference, captured in this now deleted tweet.
Here's another response to Matt Goodwin's abusurd, misleading, & frankly unhinged claims made at the deeply concerning National Conservatism conference, from @ewangibbs:
Another now deleted tweet from another of the far-right's, #TuftonStreet's, & GB News's preferred academics, David Starkey, who said 'slavery wasn't genocide because there are so many damn blacks', & after the 2011 riots, 'Enoch Powell was right, the whites have become black'. 🙋♂️
We take the piss out of the dangerous cranks speaking at the National Conservatism conference - but imho it's deadly serious.
@openDemocracy's @SAThevoz, who blagged his way in, says the audience was almost entirely male, rich, & about 80% were under 30.
This is a #THREAD about propaganda, right-wing populist nationalist Christian authoritarianism, @BBCr4today, Sebastian Kurz, your health records, the NatCon conference, & Libertarian billionaire, Peter Thiel. I know this sounds like the introduction to an Adam Curtis documentary.
Radio 4’s Today Programme has lost 800,000 listeners in the past year as they switched to podcasts & rival talk radio shows.
It has also had to deal with Rishi Sunak’s government cutting access to government ministers as part of a deliberate communication strategy.
An expert on right-wing authoritarianism, Ruth Wodak's February 2023 article, 'Analyzing the shift to the far-right: the Austrian case', is Open Access (free to read), & helps explain @BBCr4today's loss of listeners, & recent developments in #propaganda.
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), is an American conservative Christian legal advocacy group that works to expand "Christian practices" within public schools & in Govt, to outlaw abortion, & to curtail rights for #LGBTQ people.
ADF is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, with branch offices in Washington, D.C., & New York, among other locations. Its international subsidiary, Alliance Defending Freedom International, which is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, operates in over 100 countries.
ADF is one of the most influential Christian legal interest groups in the US based on its vast budget, caseload, network of allied attorneys, & connections to the political right. Its members have included US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Mike Pence, & Josh Hawley.
'Leftists have control of globalist corporations, are at war with the moral, intellectual & social foundations on which our entire civilisation rests, & want to end all democracy!' - Perfectly normal comedy genius, Heritage Foundation President, Kevin Roberts, #NatC conference.
Hilarious one-liner from Darren Grimes: "People just want fairness - fairness for the domestic population to be treated just as well as illegal entrants" (who cannot work, face deportation, & endure hatred, demonisation & scapegoating from Tory MPs & dimwit GB "News" presenters).
Harry & Meghan & her mother, Doria Ragland, were involved in a “near catastrophic” car chase after being followed by paparazzi following their attendance at an awards ceremony in New York on Tuesday.
There are fears that the chase that ensued could have been fatal. According to the source, the chase involved half a dozen blacked out vehicles with unidentified people driving recklessly and endangering the convoy and everyone around them.
Traffic violations were said to have included driving on the sidewalk, running red lights, reversing down a one-way street, driving while on the phone, driving while photographing and illegally blocking a moving vehicle.
Starkey tells the National Conservatism conference that #BlackLivesMatter & #CRT are “attempts at destroying the entire legitimacy of thew Western cultural tradition... They do not care about black lives. They only care about the symbolic destruction of white culture.”
Starkey's, & ultranationalist misogynist provocateur & Proud Boys founder, Gavin McInnes's edicts, echo identitarian rhetoric, which seeks to sanitize hatred for brown immigrants & their liberal supporters by positioning them as a threat to modern "white culture" & tradition.
Rejecting any criticism, far-right populists claim to be fighting against against a ‘political correctness’ perceived as censorship. If criticized they stylize themselves as victims, often connected to the victim/perpetrator reversal strategy, aka DARVO.
Global grifer Boris Johnson is in Seoul, with the right-wing "Nationalist-Conservative" People Power Party's Park Jin, CBE, South Korea's Minister of Foreign Affairs. 😬
Controlling the South Korean presidency, PPP is the second largest party in the National Assembly.
The People Power Party (PPP) can be seen as a "nationalist-conservative" party because it aims for cultural conservatism & Republic Of (Soth) Korea -centered nationalism, but puts anti-communism before Korean nationalism, which is more supported by liberals & left-wingers. #NatC
Some young right-wing PPP politicians, South Korea's largest conservative party, are based on the support of the Idaenam, & have been criticized by major South Korean media & some foreign media because they are showing strong anti-feminist tendencies. 🤔
