Following on from the fascists in Knowlsley, there were two more “protests” of the same kind in Newquay and Skegness. In Skegness, it doesn’t seem like there was any kind of meaningful antifascist action (please correct me if I am wrong on this), but in Newquay there were at least as many anti-fascists there as fascists, and as we all know, fascists are cowards, which means that they weren’t able to intimidate refugees in the way they would like to.

And we know the refugees in Newquay really appreciated the support.

It’s very likely these groups will try the same thing elsewhere soon- so what should you do?

1) Keep an eye out for these events being organised. Stuff is often shared on social media.

2) If you see something being organised, try to find a local antifascist group on social media (a lot are on twitter and instagram). If you can’t find them, try looking for an IWW branch, a local anarchist group, or if you’re really struggling, try a tenant’s union or another trade union as they may have links locally. Make them aware of what’s being organised without sharing widely.

3) Hopefully, you will find a group with experience of organising counter protests. If you want to get involved with a counter protest, great. If you don’t feel safe doing so (also valid) you can support these groups by donating- cash, lifts to a protest site, burner phones and wood are often welcome.

4) Share details of counter protests far and wide and make it clear you, as a local person, do not support the fascists, and that the antifascists are the ones who speak for you.

5) Following the protest reach out to refugees in your local community, and let them know they are welcome. You could also donate to a local refugee support centre- many refugees are in massive need of basics like food, clothing and the ability to communicate home.

Here is a list of books that Project 2025 is looking to ban and the reasons for each.

These are the books they are afraid of. These are the books we need to be reading.

Because we have to talk in code about this on tiktok, I'm here to help spread some helpful tips to all my American anti-fascists out here who may need it. If you see police car that looks like this, (predominant blue stripe),

This is an ICE car. They are out and about right now hunting down immigrants, legal and illegal.

If you see them- or really, any police car- lurking, scream at the top of your lungs.

Just sharing this here cause this is terrifying bro

I legit thought the whole rest of the world was leaning far apt right and in favour of trump and I almost had NO HOPE. I even told my partner this morning that I was so worried that there would be nobody on the outside who would step up for us. My partner who does research 24/7 didn’t see ANY news about international protests. Everything we learned was that everyone outside of the US was in agreement with this shit man (at least, international governments were in agreement)

If you’re non-american Please give me hope and tell me there are voices outside of the US speaking up for us and fighting where we literally cannot even see or access.

The european elections are showing: we have a nazi problem. We have a massive shift to the right. Not only Germany. It is a collective problem. France, Austria, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Hungary.

Talk to people. Talk about politics. Talk about right winged receivables. Try to talk about the bullshit and nonsense. I don't think people realize what they are voting for.

Our time to act is now!

Thinking about how Hitler rose to power by using youth clubs to target the youth

Thinking about Donald Trump playing the hero for millions of young people by bringing back tiktok, despite being the original person to ban it

We really do have a fascist president of America in the world right now.

What a sorry state of affairs

You know what's fucked up? The law assumes that only Jews were the victims of fascism, which is why we now have the absurdity that if you are a fascist but also a Jew (Zionism in short), you go unpunished because you are a Jew, and those who are against you are anti-Semites

So yes, the anti-fascist law turns out to be a perfect loophole for fascists as long as they are Jews (And in Germany it's so absurd that Jews were beaten and attacked by the police for anti-Semitism, so yes, such a loophole in the law was used for this shit)

The law assumed that other victims of fascism do not exist, so they do not have to be as protected as Jews (And before anyone gets outraged, the point is that every discriminated group should be treated under the law in the same way as Jews, i.e. Queerphobia, racism , Islamophobia etc… were treated as seriously as anti-Semitism, and not treated as a "Joke") and this shows how defective our law is, unfortunately, the status quo will probably also be preserved, i.e. they will add another group and ignore the rest, and then the same loop will occur (It is a gloomy thought, but since they erase other victims of the Nazis such as Poles, LGBT+ people, Roma and people with disabilities, because they consider them less important than Jews in the fight against discrimination, then I'm sorry, but it sucks and this anti-fascist policy works shit)

So yes, the anti-fascist law has so many loopholes that it hurts, it just hurts on many levels, and the absurdity that Jews are beaten for anti-Semitism is proof of this, simply assuming that fascism is only swastikas and hating Jews is harmful on many levels, no, fascism is behavior, it is discrimination, dehumanization etc… The victims are not only Jews, and even then they were not the only ones

Zionism has exploited loopholes in the law to silence its opponents, and it's so disgusting it's nauseating

If the fight against fascism doesn't work because the fascist is a Jew, then you know that this anti-fascist policy is so full of loopholes that it doesn't care about fighting fascism, and it can just be exploited by fascists and people shoot themselves in the foot in this law, yes, we should fight fascism, but we should fucking teach what fascism is and how it works, not teach that only Jews are its victims, damn it

Because we have made Jews victims of anti-fascist law because they are anti-Zionists

If this is how the fight against fascism works, you know something has gone fucking wrong

Today, fascists choose easier targets (Because Jews are better protected by law, because attention, anti-Semitism is taken seriously, not as a "Joke" and that's the fucking difference) like LGBT+ people, immigrants, Muslims, black people, etc… because the law is full of loopholes and society continues to ignore the fact that this discrimination is a serious problem

It just sucks, you can be from a group that was a victim of the Nazis (I'm from Poland, specifically Kashubian, I'm aroace and I'm a person with ASD), and you will still be fascist in the eyes of the law because you are anti-Zionist, the law doesn't care about you because you are not a Jew who wants the genocide of the Palestinians and it is sick, it is simply sick

It's simply such a huge loophole in the law against fascism that now it is showing before our eyes how badly it was made and how people concluded that the victims of the Nazis were only Jews, so now that there is anti-fascist law, it only cares about Jews and so , about those who are Zionists, because they treat anti-Zionist Jews like shit (Germany, I remind you)

It's just sick, the whole law is so flawed and against the victims of fascism, even if they are not Zionist Jews, that it's insane

We would have to destroy the law and build it anew, but the question is whether this would not cause problems for future generations, because we would have to do it damn well and analyze everything, and there would probably be a fucking risk that fascism will find another loophole to its own advantage anyway

The very fact that this loophole was ignored for so many years is also terrifying, because what the Zionists did to the Palestinians from the very beginning is an indication that the law even then closed its loopholes and we are only seeing them now because we have greater access to information

The law also showed that this applies to white Jews, because Arab Jews are not taken as seriously, so don't expect anyone to care about anti-Semitism when you are not a European Jew, because you are an Arab and your being a Jew means nothing, and the law doesn't care about Arabs, so you're fucked

So yes, the loopholes in the law are most visible today and well, the very fact that they were ignored for many years is a long-term problem, and the Zionists have been taking advantage of this loophole for years to their own advantage

yk the interview where they said that they invented enforcers killing VI’s parents originally for caitvi drama? and what if I said Caitlyn going along with martial law and losing empathy for Zaun was also only for caitvi drama

Seeing what Musk did on national television during the U.S. Presidential Inauguration radicalized me all over again. This is completely unacceptable. As a country we cannot allow ourselves to be controlled by fascists' and fascist NAZIS at that?! Delete all of your Twitter accounts. Feel free to use my art above to post as your explanation. Leave this man with nothing but the angry mob that will come for him too eventually. Delete your META accounts too. Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. They cannot use us for propaganda if we do not give them access. This is NOT the America that the world deserves. And I resent the men in power that allowed for the worlds richest turned white nationalist into the government system .

[queerpunktomatoes]

I'm at the point where this is so obviously fascism that it genuinely surprises me when others don't get it. Earlier today I heard people conversing, celebrating how groceries and gas are "going to get cheaper." I cannot begin to understand how that's still a focus in anyone's mind.

How on earth do you explain to Trumpers who still support him, even now, that they would have been Nazis in Germany? "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." They seriously see absolutely no problems.

[sotomato06]

Can we just acknowledge the absolutely insane behavior it is to be calling the leader of another country your governor? I'm sorry, is Canada not a sovereign nation just like any other? Absolutely batshit insane.

This is why we're all worried. The rest of the world is worried.

14 characteristics of facisim:

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

Rampant Sexism The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

Controlled Mass Media Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
