For those not into #politics in #Italy, the post below discuss the #masonic and #prorussia ties of the leader (already sitting at the #eu #parliament ) of a #neofascist party. This party is given by opinion polls more that 4% of votes in Italy.
Ironically, far-right parties often claim to be #nationalistic, yet their loyalty seems not to the actual #nation they seek to govern, but to a #dictatorship conjured in the minds of their leaders.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1920 the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye was founded in Ankara. It denounced the #OttomanEmpire & #SultanMehmedVI, and began drafting a republican constitution. Notably it was a #nationalistic project and created a highly racist vision of Turkishness.

HOW THE INTERNET TURNED INWARDS
Manuel Cebrian

A #social network scientist's insights into our move toward #identity consumption rather than collaboration on the Internet.

"People’s tendency to look inwards — seek mirrors through which to see themselves — consume content that makes them feel better about themselves and feels like they belong to a community — which actually does not exist, as a community cannot exist without an agreed mission."

"One can guess at a tenuous link between the current #nationalistic, anti-globalization trend and #technologies that emphasize people’s differences to make them salient."

#SanaeTakaichi has raised the possibility of redoing an investment deal with #Trump that lowered his punishing #tariffs in return for Japanese taxpayer-backed investment.

Her #nationalistic positions - such as her regular visits to the Yasukuni shrine to Japan's WWII dead, viewed by some #Asian neighbors as a symbol of its past #militarism - may rile #SouthKorea & #China.

This furor over #DoctorWho releasing at midnight #UK time kinda comes off as a bit #nationalistic, like they're saying "its a OUR show and its for US and it should accommodate US first BEFORE you filthy non-Brits"

Like, I'm sorry, we live in a global society now get over it or start a nationalist "Doctor Who for only loyal British subjects" party.

Why are Sweden's far right suddenly going after drag queens?

Sweden Democrats are moving from an anti-immigration platform to something more like an American-style culture war

Just wondering how much #jingoistic / #nationalistic fervour this is going to trigger amongst the #fascists? "Today in 1800, 223 years ago: near Malta, the British squadron of Horatio Nelson defeats the French."

This idea that's been gaining currency that "#populationcollapse" due to declining birth rates is a "problem," is beyond perverse.

#Overpopulation remains near the top of the list of world crises. It's only overshadowed by #ClimateChange which is partially the *result* of past overpopulation.

We're deeply into population #overshoot in terms of having crashed through about 5 of the 9 #planetary boundaries. So yes, there will be a population collapse and it won't just be from declining birth rates.

It's likely to be far more unpleasant than that--competition over scarce resources leading to war, mass migrations, and famines.

#dieoff is the appropriate term. And it applies to humans just as any other species that's overfilled its ecological niche.

It would be possible for Earth to support 10 billion or more people, if we lived more sustainably. But that's way easier said than done. People want what they want and they will kill and die to get it. To say nothing about the devastating impacts of global income inequality.

We should be so lucky, as to "only" face a crisis of a greying population and not enough young people. If that were the case, #automation would be able to handle any worker shortages, provided we put in place the wealth redistribution and basic income needed to offset the decline of compensated labor.

What's actually likely to happen is we'll continue to make all the wrong decisions due to the #fascist / #nationalistic political insanity that's sweeping the globe.

We're out of runway to keep making repeated bad decisions, without consequences that will be terribly disruptive to #civilization as we once knew it.
