It's time European countries start cutting out any tools (e.g. FB) the US is using for a fascist takeover. It's clear that the idea is to dismantle the EU to transform the western and southern countries into Trump's puppet regimes and the central and eastern countries into Moscow's.

It's absolutely horrific to watch the EU go from the GDPR to expanding surveillance with the CSA. We had a tantalizing glimpse that a better world was possible in the late 2000s and early 2010s but those dreams are all up in flames. Only 3(!!) countries oppose the proposal to scan all your chats

Christofascists will melt into ominous ooze when they hear that before the category of whiteness was invented, various religious leaders like Augustine and Origen, were of North African descent. The African origins of these figures are often erased in theological dicourses.

The "new order" of 1933 Nazi leaders was not just settled through violence and an avalanche of laws and decrees, but also appeals and demands by local Nazis *claiming* to be acting in Hitler's name.
