Ad Hoc Community response to Authoritarianism works.
Even this example of the most gentle hand possible from locals proved effective and saved this guy.
Kill the cop in your head, break the conditioning keeps you timid and become non-compliant.

ALT: a man waves his hand in front of the words kind reminder
Some bellend just attacked the local Synagogue and the cops took him down.
A reminder that you do not need to share footage for fake internet points, you do not need to get on yer soap box. You don't know.
Horrific moments.

If I was a general in the US Military I'd be sounding my peers out on a coup about now.
Everything about that presentation was a clear "we want you to abandon your doctrines to be come stormtroopers hopped up on memes."
Absolutely embarrassing for them.
Hilarious for us tho.

When they make being anti fascist "terrorism" but leave fascists without contraint, the government is no longer being subtle about who they ally with.

[Milan, Italy] Across some sixty cities workers came out in their thousands in solidarity with Palestine. In Milan things turned ugly when the police tried to put the boot in and got an anti-fascist response, no.

Russia - Being gay makes you a terrorist.
Britain - Opposing genocide makes you a terrorist.
U.S.A. - Being Anti Fascist makes you a terrorist.
It's almost as if the authoritarian government model is using "terrorism" as a political thought terminator for reasons....

left/right are sides of the house, relative to the tone of the context and utilised to build artifical political barriers between members of the working class with mutual resentment via absurdities and extremes, to pivot them towards a binary electoral block.

There is probably great discussion to be had on the concept of "enemy", the gradients of polarisation, absolutes, and response ;p
I don't disagree with either sentiment, but I find it hard to position the apathetic council worker and the popularist authoritarian giving the order in the same bag. -P

It's hard, and it's not always possible, certainly on anonymous social media threads, but talk to your fellow workers, calmly help them tear down the mythology and hate they are wrapped up in. Left and Right, help them realise and embrace what is at the core of us all.

and "leftists" reading and have the knee jerk reaction that anyone in the political or philsophical centre or right is your enemy. . .

Don't let them sap away you're liberty in the name of striking your enemy. Don't let they lie in the truth for you, don't let them forward their traditionist, normative supremacy.
Our frameworks, of liberty, solidarity, empowerment, and autonomy are for you too.

"left" and "right", these are labels that are put on us or self applied, to seperate us. To build bastions of security to say "oh you're like me" or "you are the enemy". They sometimes serve to draw a line around our beliefs but when we use them to seperate ourselves we err.

Oh sure, "leftists" and dispossessed people say some crass and vulgar shit too, plenty on the "left" face exactly the same politic demons and don't confront it but this is a conservative spot light and what's on stage should terrify you too.

Watch the videos from "Unite the Kingdom", of the people presented to you as leaders, talking openly about stripping away any expression that isn't Christian, watch as on US TV they openly lie about being friends with their Martyr and crime statistics.

You don't want to lose to the left I get it, you don't want to agree with whatever nonsensical parady you've been fed time and time and time again, I get it.
Still, step away from quick fire social media and debate threads and actually watch and listen to whats said

It was easy to giggle along with crass and dark humour when it served, "all lives splatter" and Gomez performing mock executions, and it's easier still to find yourself stood with actual fascists and tell yourself otherwise because "I'm not far right".

This should chill you to your bones.
There are millions of good and decent people on the political right, positioned there by divisive politics that cut the working class in half with extreme polarity and demand you view your opposite with absolute hate.
Don't let them.

As an outside perspective watching the conservative political right launder Charlie Kirk is somewhat facinating. In their pursuit of revisionism and authoritarianism they are aiming to further curtail civil liberties and specifically "free speech".

Personally I think multiple threads at the same time is much more confusing and it's always good to clarify any confusion tho, we're on the same page (I think?) so not sure why you felt under attack ;p
Anyways glad we could sort that out.

You know, you can express your discontent for the far-right's day out with out resorting to classist, ableist, and fat shaming language and the rest.
