A series of four images with black text on a white background, containing a long reflective passage about how authoritarianism and oppression gradually take hold unnoticed. First image: The text explains how small, seemingly inconsequential steps—each justified or regretted—prevent people from recognizing the larger process until it’s too late, comparing it to a farmer not noticing corn growing until it towers overhead.

Second image: A colleague explains how each act is only slightly worse than the last, leading people to wait for a shocking turning point that never comes. Fear, uncertainty, and the desire not to stand alone stop people from resisting. Outsiders seem content, and those who sense danger are dismissed as alarmists.

Third image: The text describes how, eventually, a small personal incident shatters self-deception, revealing that everything has changed—society, spirit, and morality. People accept things once unthinkable. Life feels normal on the surface, but principles have eroded. When realization comes, it’s too late—people are compromised by inaction.

Fourth image: The writer notes how friends drift away, meetings shrink, and isolation grows, weakening resistance further. The long-awaited great occasion for mass opposition never arrives. Instead, oppression progresses step by step, each act numbing people to the next. The example is given of Nazi Germany, where atrocities escalated gradually, making it harder to resist at each stage.

I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

Great Yarmouth to Host Britain’s Biggest White Power Concert in Years – HOPE not hate Great Yarmouth is set to host the largest white power music gig held in the UK for at least 10 years, HOPE not hate can...

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

Something we need to grasp is that Establishment power meant imperialism. Imperialism is a system of thought that sees upper class white men as the pinnacle of humanity, with a sacred duty to control the lives of others. What we now call the far right is an extension and revival of imperialism.

Il ne peut plus y avoir aucun doute : Israël est en train de faire des frappes qui ciblent les derniers journalistes de #GAZA
De moins en moins d'infos nous parviennent. Les gouvernements qui n'agissent pas fermement sont des complices du génocide en cours.
#StopGenocide NOW !
#FreePalestine

In Gaza, massacres are denied, famine smeared as “fake news.” To accept this lie is to brand every journalist, doctor, and survivor a fraud. Reporters are barred, Palestinian journalists killed—erasing truth as surely as live #FreePalestine

This is insane by Yvette Cooper.

Spray-painting planes is not terrorism. Criminal damage, yes - but you cannot “terrorise” inanimate objects. It does not serve to cause terror in victims. Therefore it is not terrorism.

The authoritarian Home Secretary has lost the plot.

Yvette Cooper vows to ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws Home secretary to ignore warning from group’s lawyers that doing so would be ‘unlawful, dangerous and ill thought out’
