#Germany’s #FarRight Wants to Trap the #Left in Culture Wars

Well, it seems that for the Jacobin, in order to prevent the #extremeright to rise to power in Germany, all it has to do is give up on the rights of all power #minorities, including women... in oder words, #DieLinke should jump right into the #CulturalWar that the #AfD has started and choose the #dominant side in the name #ClassPolitic! such classic lame delusional strategy !

Jérôme Viala-Gaudefroy unveils the radical shift in Donald Trump's presidency, transforming into an authoritarian regime that embraces chaos and centralizes power. The rhetoric has evolved to a neo-imperial economic view, driving a wedge in democratic norms while invoking martyrdom among supporters. This exploration reveals the historical context shaping Trumpism and its impact on American politics.

Behind the Republican Party's 50-year plan to change the GOP and kill American democracy

More than 100 days into his return to the White House, the conclusion is stark: Donald Trump is no longer the same president he was during his first term. His familiar nationalist and populist rhetoric is now openly paired with an authoritarian turn – one without precedent in US history. He has adop...

Somone asked what does "Woke" mean to you...

"Woke" is a slang way of saying "Aware"... So when someone asks if you're Woke says they're Woke, replace the word with Aware...
On the other side... being Anti-Woke means being anti-aware... being anti-aware to me is equivalent to being ignorant or ignorance is bliss...

So if you're anti-woke then you're pro-ignorance...

find out why these people want you to be ignorant... maybe because they're trying to get away with something that they don't want you to be aware about?
I'd rather not be ignorant...

"What has happened at Harvard is not just a blueprint for taking over higher education; it is a strategy for taking over our information environment."

from Tressie McMillam Cotton's brilliant [pay-walled] NYT opinion piece on why "The Claudine Gay Debacle Was Never About Merit" https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/04/opinion/claudine-gay-resignation-harvard.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

Opinion | The Claudine Gay Debacle Was Never About Merit

Merit, itself, cannot be defined. That is why the concept is so useful for slippery slopes.

Very welcome.
Love your avatar, BTW.

I had a similar thread regarding the strategy and execution thereof to take over #SCOTUS, but that seems to have been lost either to mine being #Twitterbanned without notice or the abysmal search function on #Mastodon or the cache limit of my instance.
A real pitty, as people need to know that "#CulturalWar" is not just a headline but as real as the #WarInAfghanistan, only not with as many bloody casualties.

The #GQP has been combatting...

Maxime Bernier est un politicien qui a déjà occupé un poste de ministre. C'est aussi un abjecte crétin.

@Bluedepth @david @darren

Yes, this is what occurred to me, too, when I said this:

"People who have never left their #BorgSites (love that, too), will suddenly become aware that the (unquestionably, socially and mentally) sickening characteristics of #Algorithm sites are not the only way to live...."
I really am beginning to be convinced that not permitting ourselves to be flooded by #Meta hordes in the first months might be the key to winning this #CulturalWar (or at least the first battles)

Ron DeSantis, il favorito alle primarie repubblicane, usa le ‘guerre culturali’ per attaccare la democrazia

Quella del corso di African American Studies è solo l’ultima delle misure di De Santis tese a togliere dai curricula scolastici riferimenti a questioni che riguardano la storia e la società americane.
