I Don't Speak German
Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces! In this...

I am the co-host - with my friend and comrade @danielharper.bsky.social - of a podcast called (rather eccentrically) 'I Don't Speak German'. It's about the far-right... which, sadly, is a much less niche category than when we started in 2019. idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com

January 6th would never have been possible without the willing complicity of local police departments supporting and protecting the violent right-wing militias who spent all of 2020 doing practice runs against our local communities across the entire US.

If Nick's nazi-sounding statements are "authentic" doesn't that mean...
These people don't even listen to themselves.

Glenn Greenwald says Nick Fuentes' authenticity makes it easy for critics to "demonize and attack you by taking these quotes that can sound not just very racist, but very almost Nazi-like and kind of an extermination rhetoric." Um, yea. People who use Nazi-like rhetoric tend to get labeled a Nazi.

I'm sure all the Freeze Peach warriors of the 2010s are completely on this woman's side. A clearer violation of the First Amendment basically doesn't exist.
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?

It is with the greatest sadness that we have to announce that Searchlight’s founder, Gerry Gable, has died at the age of 88. He had been in frail health for some time, but a recent hospital admission proved too much and he died peacefully last night.

You won't grasp how the politics works until you internalise the fact that there are always at least two Whys. There is the deep Why, which is indirect, distal, structural, but profoundly determined. Then there is the immediate Why, which is random, contingent, human, and usually very VERY stupid.

Recording with @danielharper.bsky.social tonight. The listeners are going to hear the last of my deep, head cold / sore throat voice. The only time they'll hear me sounding masculine.

Reminds me of the old War on Terror era joke.

Rest of the world: "Same as yours but on fire."

Everything we accepted being done in places like Palestine will be done again and again elsewhere until we stop accepting it anywhere.
We can't carve out exceptions where human rights don't apply and expect human rights to still apply everywhere else.

The signature attitude of the US ruling class and their functionaries is arrogance. The signature attitude of the US working populace is servility. This cannot be a coincidence.

I actually rather liked Gatiss' adaptation of The Room in the Tower. Definitely his best film yet. He wisely changes very little of Benson's text, besides adding a framing device. The end is wobbly. He shows too much. But... yeah. Good. Surreal, ominous atmosphere. I mostly grooved on it.

Now as in 1933, a big selling point of fascism is its promise to eradicate anything that even remotely suggests the possibility of an alternative to unfettered capitalist exploitation.
Liberals love sticking it to the left. They don't want to be seen near it.

Why do liberals love lawless imperialist aggression?
Habit, of course.
But they also 💯 share the perspective of the Latin American middle class. Their ability to identify their peers in other societies is uncanny, and rivals their inability to identify the class position that shapes their own views.

Yes, good vid. @danielharper.bsky.social & I have referred to it in recent episodes.

I keep recommending this video but it really does speak to the current moment so well.
Specifically Geller highlights that defendents at Nuremberg consistently used the excuse that they were just functionaries, cogs in a machine forced to obey by circumstance.

A listener / reader bought me a DVD from my (shame alert) Amazon wish list, the old series The Intruder, and that was so kind. I think they must've seen my post praising Milton Johns. The giftee asked to not be publicly identified but they know who they are and thank you thank you thank you

Apparently it is legal for a country to simply decide to bomb another country and abduct their head of state if they think it would be a good idea.

The arrogant, self-righteous aggression of the United States government is bad enough. Pardon me if I'm even more personally offended by the snivelling servility and hypocrisy and grovelling cowardice of the UK government. And don't ask me why I'm not used to this by now because I do not know.

An equivalent situation in reverse would be described, with histrionic, spluttering moral indignation, as aggression, abduction, and an outrageous violation of international law, leading to sanctions and probably war. Imperial capital and white supremacy are the US's - and our - only warrants.
Govt minister Darren Jones is asked what element of international law gives the US the right to abduct the leader of another country.
Jones says he's not qualified to answer that question and he's not a spokesperson for the US administration.

Anybody who calls it a "capture" rather than an "abduction" is an apologist.
