When are Australians going to realise Zionism is fascism?

- racist
- supremacist
- silence critics (through censorship and violence)
- infiltrate government & media
- mass propaganda
- victim complex
- ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid

Capitulating to Zionism is the death of freedom.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

The state wants to be a hub for computing infrastructure but is considering ways to make their developers pay for more of their massive energy needs.

It’s sort of infuriating to watch liberals all of the sudden be able to identify war crimes because Trump is doing them

omfg. "wicked problem" are you fucking kidding me, jesus fucking christ

The real wicked problem here is Australia's mostly-white journalist class persistently stepping on the exact rakes the salivating white nationalists want them to step on. It is so nuts to me how none of this ever changes
Neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell is seen as neo-Nazi and Transgender rights supporters face off at a demonstration in Melbourne, 2023. James Ross Grattan on Friday: Combatting the neo-Nazis is a ‘wicked problem’ for governments The neo-Nazis exploit feelings of alienation among a section of the community. Making martyrs of them could play into their hands. State and federal laws to deal with hate speech have been strengthened as governments have grappled with threats to social cohesion in the wake of the attack on Israel in October 2023, the ensuing Gaza war, pro-Palestinian demonstrations and encampments, and anti-semitic attacks. These events have triggered a torrent of hate speech, particularly from the extremists elements among the pro-Palestinian activists. Trying to stop hate speech turns into an ever-escalating pursuit. While action is desirable, at some point it runs into pushback on grounds of free speech. Finding ways to curb the presence of extremist groups such as, but not only, the neo-Nazis falls into the category political scientists call “wicked problems” to which there are no simple, direct answers. It’s understandable to turn to new or strengthened legal remedies and, to an extent, appropriate. But it can only be part of the answer and often comes with unintended or unacceptable consequences. In the end, these groups may be best countered more indirectly, by vigorously promoting positive measures that advance social cohesion in the community. But unfortunately that’s a long term answer to an immediate problem.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

According to Israeli Channel 12, Israel has approved in its first reading a law allowing the death penalty for Palestinian hostages. The report stated that the bill passed the National Security Committee’s initial reading and is expected to be presented for a full vote in the Knesset on Wednesday.

Platner being a not-so-secret Nazi senator from Maine is giving me Stephen King vibes. Schrödinger’s Nazi in a functionally irrelevant legislative branch. Has the same feel of inevitability as Trump implementing Project 2025.

So many people in the wake of Kirk's death defend him by basically saying, "But he was so kind interpersonally."

Buddy, you got played. His political project, not the social niceties, was who he really was. And his political project was built on bigotry and Christian nationalism.

Yesterday Fresh Air did an interview with Robert Draper, who has covered Charlie Kirk. And this section on Draper's relationship with Kirk said a lot to me about modern access journalism, and the soft coverage we've seen in the wake of Kirk's death.
GROSS: After you profiled Kirk, and I think that was published back in February, you stayed in touch with him. And I think you were texting each other the day before he was killed. DRAPER: That's correct. I'll tell you also, Terry, that the story, as you say, was published in February of this year. But I would say for a full year prior to that, Kirk and I had been getting to know each other, and he would often reach out to me. And I thought this was an interesting aspect to Kirk, that he would reach out to me just to run things by me. Not asking so much for my opinion - because, as a journalist, I couldn't give it - but just as a reality check, he'd say, I'm hearing from the right that this particular viewpoint is prevalent from the left. Am I just living in a bubble, or is that true? GROSS: How would you respond to that? DRAPER: Well, sometimes I would say, you know, I think what you're hearing you're hearing from the right-wing media ecosystem, and it's not supported by reality as I understand it. And he would take that and be grateful for it. There was also a time I reached out to him, I remember, to say, I'd like to talk to you off the record about the religious context in which so many people in the MAGA community are viewing Donald Trump. Can you explain to me how they see him as this sort of flawed vessel, like King David or something? And he was very fluent in describing that to me. And so we had that kind of back-and-forth well predating the publication of the story, and continued to since then. I had dinner with him in D.C. once, I think, a couple of months before he was killed, and I remember he brought security with him. They sat at the bar. And he seemed very casual about it, which is not to say that he was utterly unconcerned. But it was essentially the cost of doing business, that that was just the world that we were in. I was texting with him the day before the assassination because I wanted to come to Arizona and have dinner with him and his wife to catch up on various things. But also, there's a major magazine project that I'm beginning. And I wanted Kirk's thoughts about it, but not on the phone and not in writing. It just required a face-to-face. And he wrote back saying, absolutely. We would love to have you over for dinner. Just pick a date in September. And I think I sent, a few hours later, the text, how about September 23? And obviously, I never heard back.

Anti-racist rallies all over on October 19, in response to the next round of these 'Marches for Australia'. Get to your one. It's your opportunity not only to stand up, but to start meeting and making plans with other anti-racists. Your presence matters. Share it around.

The title isn't quite on the money for this one. Rather, I wanted to reflect on what *I* think is of most urgent important of late in attending anti-fascist rallies.
Why we show up when fascists march
Right-wing marches are little more than angry parades, but they are effective recruitment systems designed to attract interest for growth.
