Not even dogwhistles, but screaming into a megaphone.
I remember when this was on backwards 4chan threads nearly 20 years ago.
This cover neatly sums up the entire victim complex panic-fantasy of the European right, and I wouldn’t even say far-right.

Trying to read Matt Kroenig and Dan Negrea’s book ‘We Win, They Lose’ for a review.
Y’all pray for me as I go through this book that says we need to fuse Reagan and Trump foreign policies.
There’s abusing history and then there’s…..this.

Saw it, loved it, am here for the sequels. 🧟
Honestly, Boyle’s style and the deep-cut medieval references were great, and the writing is a bit of a redemption for Alex Garland.
Not quite as deeply scary as 28 Days, but I was also 8 when I saw that….

The MAGA movement has always drooled at the idea of war on the US streets.
I remember the 2020 uprising well enough, you have an entire portion of the national security class hyped for using force inside the US, especially against immigrants.
Make no mistake, this admin wants a new Kent State.

Genuinely one of the most unhinged pages I've ever seen, a non-satirical page dedicated to defending the behaviour of the Congo Free State and Belgian Congo....

Mahmoud Khalil’s letter from a detention centre.
A green card holder and activist getting immigration bureaucracy weaponised against him to silence dissent.
This is the thing the Democratic party and many others are allowing to be normalised.
If it doesn’t stop with him, it won’t stop at you.
