#far right terrorism

[supremechancellorrex]

It's amazing how you find morally bankrupt enablers that will try to justify the far right riots from the safety of their computer chair and TV set. They sit on their arse watching the far right fascists yell racist slurs and death threats at brown people, set fire to buildings like shops and cafés, watch brown people all over the country get beaten up just because of their skin colour, far right thugs mutilate a POC boy's face, a child too, stab an Asian man, and even attempt mass murder by locking doors and setting fire to a hotel of people while chanting about killing people, and then the far right enablers say like "Oh, I don't agree with the rioters' violent methods, but really the rioters are the real victims, they've been pushed to the brink. It was inevitable with all this immigration they would be. And don't they kinda have a point? The government should have listened to their demands (and ignored every other citizen that disagrees with the far right)."

Reminds me of how people made sympathetic, bad faith excuses for Hitler and his Nazis back in the day, ascribing some "greater good" behind the violence and that the Nazis were really 'victims' of the innocent people they were beating the shit out of and killing. The Nazis would use the momentum and benefit of the doubt from this circular logic to construct death camps.

What is especially striking about these far right riots is when black and brown people, who are part of a demographic that have just been assaulted, smeared and threatened by the far right rioters, had their businesses, livelihoods and streets smashed up and burned, even had members of their community been stabbed, just express anger like normal humans to the point some 'inelegantly' call for the rioters' heads, the right-wing fascist lite and the privileged folk of society are like "How dare these woke lot say mean comments about the rioters! How could anyone be so cruel to not see their plight? Who's to say they even are far right or wrong?"

Like, guys, the rioters set fire to people's shops, streets and brutally beat them up because of just their religion and/or skin colour. You've ever had multiple fists slamming on you with no reprieve, kicks wailing on you even when you're on the ground? Believe it or not, brown people feel pain, especially when their bones are breaking. If it happened to you or your family or community, you'd be calling for the perpetrators' heads however 'rough' and 'uncivilised' it sounds. It's amazing how POC people aren't allowed to have human reactions, we always need to react to pain with grace like we're Jesus otherwise we're attacked again. I am sick of prejudice and racist people setting impossible expectations for all brown people as if they're the authority and delighting when individuals "fail" as if it's some kind of 'proof'.

in the wake of yesterday's racist attack in a street of Paris cherished by the Kurdish diaspora, the French media and the Kurdish Democratic Center of Paris have released the names of the victims. as of December 24, no info about them was given on international media.

Emine Kara fought against ISIS in Syria before a wound took her out if the battlefield. She sought medical care in France. She remained in the country afterwards, taking the lead of the local Kurdish Women's Movement, and was lauded for her activism in favour of women and Kurdish people.

Mir Perwen was a musician who sought political exile in France, after his protests songs against Erdogan's regime caused him judicial trouble. At the moment he was murdered, he was eating in a restaurant next to the Kurdish Democratic Center.

No pictures of Abdurrahman "Ali" Kizil have been published yet. He was an elderly man, and an active member of the Kurdish Cultural Center ; fellow volunteers described him as "having dedicated his entire life to the Kurdish struggle".

may their memory be for a blessing. sending love and support to Kurds all around the world, et particulièrement ici en France. the far-right kills and will never stop killing.

And the few trans people that identify as and surround themselves with nazis and right wingers, typically are predators, and don't care about that because that is how their own "friends" see them as. And of course, they believe throwing everyone else to the Leopards to assure their own safety.

see the THING about goodsir and stanley is that goodsir may be way less inclined to act cruelly but he has a far greater capacity for it.

what is happening in the UK with the far right protests is absolutely terrifying. all from misinformation which has fuelled an ongoing racist agenda

but on a brighter note people are coming together to fight back. peacefully.

FOUND! Apparently it was a 1943 propaganda poster from the Nazi sympathizing Nederlandsche Arbeidsfront. This is the image that was used by far-right terrorists on flyers at the University of Maryland campus in 2016.

DO YOU KNOW THE SOURCE OF THESE IMAGES?????

A friend of mine is doing academic research on symbolism in Neo-Nazi/far right groups, and sees these come up a lot on profiles and memes. However he has been unable to find their original source.

We both suspect they were pulled from either Nazi or Soviet propaganda from the 1930s (although I also think the male image has a Leyendecker vibe). They might be from the same source, or from two different ones. We just can't find 'em!

If you can identify the poster/mural/original source of these, please DM me and let me know.

Encountered a "Queers For Palestine" post on my dashboard 'cause it's pride month so of course I would, and I just...

You guys do realize that Hamas hates the whole lot of you and would put you to death if they saw you down there in Gaza? And so if we want to see things made better for queers in Palestine, the total destruction of Hamas and removal of such extreme far right islamic theocrats from power over Gaza would be the natural first step to it?

Just figured that should be every bit as important to the cause as supporting victims of the bombings, protesting against the reckless warfare on innocent civilians, and advocating for a ceasefire, thus every bit as clearly communicated as an objective for Palestine's future. Otherwise you end up like the "useful idiots" described here:

وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَٰفِلًا عَمَّا يَعۡمَلُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٖ تَشۡخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرُ

And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].

How do you do fellow human?

if i answered this 2 weeks ago i would have said i want a quick and easy death <- currently on school break

[gryficowa]

Fuck, Israel committed three massacres in an hour and right-wing freaks are still blocking aid to Gaza

The fact that right-wingers are on the side of evil surprises no one, but THREE MASSACRES IN AN HOUR?

But probably "Because Hamas" again

Cannot stress enough that seemingly not even Fitzjames could get the men to relinquish their guns once they had them.

He hurries out to meet Crozier's returning party saying that he stepped in but arms had already been issued and clearly he wasn't able to get them all returned. It's only later, with an order from Crozier and cooperation from multiple officers and trusted men that that happens.

And if cool, confident, second-in-command-of-the-entire-expedition, highest-ranking-officer-left-in-the-whole-camp, dude-who's-been-directly-overseeing-like-90%-of-those-men-for-the-past-god-knows-how-long James Fitzjames couldn't do it, I ask you, what chance did poor sweet Nedward actually have?
