Shitposting is fun n' all but y'know what I think is most important?

It's being able to think outloud and hear yourself think.

And also being able to trust that any & all feedback you receive is in good faith & not trying to brainfuck you just for shits n' giggles.

Are 'ordinary mums and dads' making 'bad apples' ?
Caught up in tight-knit webs of hate

“There was a range of grievances on display about perceived immigration rates on Sunday, but it was clear for many that the return to an imagined white Australia was a central theme...It’s not that white supremacy, which was present clearly yesterday, is something that the neo-Nazis in some evil, secretive fashion introduced into the political mainstream. It is something that has always been present in parts of the mainstream." >>

"The March for Australia’s racism can’t just be blamed on far-right ‘extremists’ - it has been enabled by the mainstream." >>

How neo-Nazis used the shield of ‘ordinary mums and dads’ anti-immigration rallies to sell white supremacy

From online grievances about migration to men dressed in black in a sea of Australian flags, far-right groups clearly intended to capitalise on events

The Guardian

"Indigenous leaders have called for Sunday's attack on Aboriginal protest site Camp Sovereignty to be investigated as a hate crime."

"Counterterrorism police will help investigate the attack, according to the Victorian government. About 40 men dressed in black, some armed with flagpoles and sticks and led by known Neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell, violently attacked Camp Sovereignty following Sunday's anti-immigration March for Australia rally. "

« When #Jefferson was writing the Declaration of #Independence in the weeks leading up July 4, 1776, he wanted to not only rely on enlightenment #ideals to justify the case for separation from Great Britain.

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump.

It's uncanny.

This is what #DarrenBeattie — & #MikeBenz —have long called for. Many of the names & keywords he included in his request reflect #ConspiracyTheories & #grievances promoted by Revolver News—which Beattie founded after being fired from his job as a speechwriter during the first #Trump admin when CNN reported that he had spoken at a conference with #WhiteNationalists.

Speechwriter who attended conference with white nationalists in 2016 leaves White House

A speechwriter for President Donald Trump who attended a conference frequented by white nationalists has left the White House.

Most people on the list appear to have focused at some point on tracking or challenging #disinformation broadly, or on countering specific false claims, including those related to the #2020election. A few of the individuals appear primarily to be critics of #Trump, #DarrenBeattie or others in the #RightWing #media ecosystem. Many have been the subject of Trump’s public #grievances for years.
