I’m very new here and think I’m not quite getting it right but I’m happy to learn.

A person on my feed boosted a post by @wardrup, and I watched this video as a result. I have to say that it is about as powerful a statement against Nazism as I can imagine. I have hundreds of neighbors, acquaintances & family that I wish could/would watch it. Perhaps one or two of them might wake up & understand that the path they have taken is flawed.

Here it is if you missed it

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Anti-Hate' Message Amidst Amid Israel Hamas War Is Viral

YouTube

"Ruth Ben-Ghiat... a historian at New York University, said in “calling people #vermin was used effectively by #Hitler & #Mussolini to dehumanize people and encourage their followers to engage in #violence.”

...Jason Stanley, author of "How #Fascism Works... telling ABC News: "It doesn't echo 'Mein Kampf.' This is textbook 'Mein Kampf.'"...

What has been the response of #GOP leaders? Silence or even defense of Trump."

Nate Silver's deficiencies in social perception served one good thing.

He was paid by Republicans to show electoral maps where women couldn't vote and ones where only men voted.

It revealed how serious billionaire donors like Uihlein and Yass are about disenfranchising women to the same degree that they disenfranchised black and brown voters.

"But it seems fair to say that, if Trump loses the election, it will be because women voted against him," Nate Silver said.

"The use of the word 'vermin' is a surprisingly precise and archaic choice of language for a man with a limited vocabulary. Too much so to be coincidental with the Nazis’ use of the German word for vermin, 'ungeziefer', to describe and dehumanize Jews. Trump clearly understands the power of marginalizing segments of the population by dehumanizing them…."

Trump Drops the Pretense of Democracy

I flew home tonight from a lovely long weekend in Boston with my husband and daughter but wanted to take a few minutes to write to you tonight, nonetheless. Forgive me if my thoughts are less formal than usual. I continue to be deeply troubled by the openness with which Donald Trump expresses an anti-democratic vision for his hoped-for future presidency and the reporting about just how far along the planning is. Over the last few days we’ve read details that include

""He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring," the former White House official told Karl. "He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in the nation, and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy, and the rule of law.""

Fascism is worse than inflation, but try explaining that to the new media 🙄

Tax cuts to billionaires and millionaires 💰 keep the news corporations supporting and telling people to vote for the Republicans, America's fascist party.

I'll be honest and say I pirate most of the books I read on my e-reader, but when an author gives you the opportunity to give them money directly in exchange for files you can do whatever with (no silly locks or compulsive reading through some Amazon interface), I'm more than happy to do so. And this book in particular - The Internet Con: How To Seize the Means of Computation by @pluralistic - I'm really excited to read. https://craphound.com/category/internetcon/
