Which is why I think an altruistic response to fascism—“I fight on behalf of those targeted”—is well-intentioned but mistaken. Fascism’s ultimate target is all that is human. The response is solidarity, a recognition that whether targeted today or a figurative tomorrow all struggle for their lives.

Not surprisingly, some in each hated group experience the growth of hate directed at them with alarm; & in their alarm mistake themselves for the main target, leading some to adopt aspects of fascism’s own methods, which further obscure from them fascism’s true target: all that is human.

3) Abandoning civil society actors
The withdrawal of social democrats from movement politics and clear leftwing commitments has left many civil society actors - the most important actors in the resistance against far-right authoritarians - without representation in institutional politics.

1) Positional accommodation:
Like the centre right many centre-left parties have moved to the right on issues of migration and asylum. This has legitimized and normalized the far right. It has shaped public opinion and has made it more difficult to pursue migration policies in line with human rights

2) Abandoning identity politics
Contrary to public beliefs, the centre-left has all but abandoned identity politics. Having become parties of incremental centrism and problem managers they have given up on shaping identities in the knowledge economy. What would a progressive working class identity

in multi-cultural societies look like? Social democrats have withdrawn from fighting this battle. Far-right parties have filled this vacuum and have pushed for authoritarian-nativist identities in the working class. Turning workers into democrats has always been at the core of social democracy

#Igivearod 2025: The Push to Nome

If the BM team was disqualified, it is on the #UglyDogs bring the team to Nome.

There are rumors that Jenny Roddewig will scratch in WM.

In true #UglyDogs fashion, let us do the Red Lantern Run ourselves.

This is your map.

This is the tracker.
You will notice that the distances are measured a bit differently:

The number at WM is the current state of the #Igivearod Donation Tracker.

The number at Nome is the total amount donated during the bleral 2019 Iditarod.

Missing in between are 15.500 USD.

It's very clear from this article I published yesterday - www.theguardian.com/world/commen... - that I am very concerned about Germany right now. And also - and still - it feels irresponsible to ignore the platforms on which something better can be built. I refuse to do that, absolutely.
