Fascists, nationalists, right wing demagogues, the idea these people have any affinity for "their nation" beyond the cheap political loyalty is may muster is farcical. For capital, no human cost is too high.

What a disgrace that the Global South is the site of violence for some to realise this.

My favorite paper of 2019 has just been conditionally accepted at AER (lmao)

The Voting Rights Act rapidly increased Black wages in the South via public employment & redistribution

Fascism intentionally surrounds itself in atrocity to cheapen the value of life - it's drive for power expands the commodification of capitalism and normalises the death that follows it.

The murdered citizens following the military strikes Iran are the latest toll of a right wing society. Repulsive

It's simultaneously true that

- the regent military strikes continue America's constant warfare and international violence in the global South to generate revenue for its industrial military complex

- the strikes distract from the Epstein trial and a dozen other disgraces the Trump admin has

The same people that create bigoted fictions about the "danger" of LGBTQ people were and are the biggest endorsers of material like this... conservative culture really is a scourge on public safety!

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

btw this all started with @maitlis.bsky.social, @jonsopel1.bsky.social, and @lewisgoodall.com treating EIGHT complaints about tavistock as a national scandal and a medical outrage

more children have died as a result of the panic they created than ever complained

are they now criticising cass? no

Fascism is both aesthetic and aspiration... they are a movement too illiterate and disregarding of reality to consider the weight of what they say, and so abhorrent and depraved in their chase of power that they attempt any degraded worldview to achieve it

The fascists will expect you to bend everything to make their authoritarianism. Do the opposite - never relent in identifying these people as far-right freaks - and the audacity of people walking around with reams of paperwork and ID cards reveals itself.

What a racist farce America is

Critics are supposed to be critical, which is meant to mean analytical, intellectually rigorous and knowledgeable.

This behaviour is so divorced from all of these tenets that it should signal to everyone how worthless any paid-for right wing opinion is in 2026. They are ignorant and wrong for $$$

When you distill it down, much of the far-right orbits around truly reprehensible individuals seeking means to avoid accountability for their lurid behaviour/beliefs.

Fascist movements collect such characters in abundance, and they unite in part through fear of the consequences of justice.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

ICE are murdering their way through America but left wing people should still want political "compromise"?

Right wing politics will defend absolutely anything under the guise of their supposed "freedoms", and this is the consequence for society when they're allowed free reign to do so.

Musk is a truly vile individual and he demonstrates, once again, that capitalism's distribution of power doesn't work

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Nothing the US government says is worth listening to. Why would anyone care about what a fascist like Trump has to say about the latest extra-judicial killing?

I can't fathom how anyone not on the far right still takes anything GOP-produced seriously. The only source of terror I see here is ICE!

It's simultaneously true that the US's latest overseas injustices fit the general capitalist imperialism of the nation's history, and represent a fascist escalation from the Trump administration.
