National security or xenophobia? Texas restricts Chinese owning and renting property

Critics fear a new law in Texas will prove discriminatory - but officials say it is vital to combat "adversaries".

Only fools believe in "Horseshoe Theory". The whole concept is fucking stupid. How can you be so #leftwing that you become #rightwing? That doesn't make any fucking sense.

Especially when historically, #centrists always end up bending the knee to the #farright.

I do wish people would treat #transphobia as the serious #redflag it is, cos if someone is repeating bullshit #pseudoscience talking points from #rightwing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to #antivax nonsense & undermining trust in #science & #medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

The #doubletap is an act typically used by #terrorists which is very apt because the #zionist #rightwing #rwnj #genocidal #likud party are terrorists... but they are #americas favourite terrorists so they get away with it.

This was an attack on #journalists because #israel has a lot to hide and they don't want their genocide and famine on the news.

When #hasbara fails, kill everyone. Right israel?

Hey #israelis this genocide, famine and murder is in your name.

“While many people see sovereign citizens and others of their ilk as odd but not overtly threatening, this belies the real #risk they may pose.

It’s true that most are non-violent in nature, but their entrenched and #ExtremeBeliefs and their #distrust of the state and authority renders them a group of interest for #LawEnforcement due to the potential for #escalation into #AntiSociality and #violence, especially when they link with other fringe right-wing extremists.

More than a third of all counter-terror investigations in #Australia now focus on #extreme #RightWing groups and individuals, including those associated with the #SovereignCitizen movement.” — Ahona Guha

I’ve worked with so-called sovereign citizens. They all believe they’re special

As tempting as it might be to brush off far-right and extremist beliefs as silly or inconsequential, the threat they pose is becoming more real every day in Australia.
