Until we dismantle them yes.

Cynicism at the level I am seeing from some large account on the left right now is not the way to do anything but hand fascists out future on a silver platter. Sometimes pragmatism and building in time to do more later is the only way forward.

It's a dig on religious pluralism, which they saw as a liberal trojan horse for communism.

It’s a two-party system that’s the reality you exist in not some fantasy not some alternate reality you wish was real. The reality is you vote for the Democrats Or you don’t vote Democrat and capitulate with fascists it’s that simple I’m not arguing this anymore with you.

Ah yes an account trying to do some despair porn. Biden’s too old he should stop down if he doesn’t I will still vote Democrat. I’m not voting for a candidate at this point. I’m voting to give us time and space away from fascism to fully dismantle their ability to exist in society.

Kinda gives the game away.

The far right cope machine is already trying to manufacture a narrative about the massive loss the French fascists faced today. They are scared they can sense what’s coming to America and it’s not fascism. Popular fronts win and scare fascists. Keep them on the back foot they are weak and scared.

Weird because they are. Go watch the video have a good night I’m not arguing over the reality of this. That’s what they are chanting.

this might be the best picture yet to come out of France. Inject the fascist tears into my veins.

Nope French

cool you’ve given up already and let cynicism win. You either vote Democrat and live another day or you don’t. I’m sorry it’s so hard for you to comprehend and you’re willing to let it all go because you’re unable to face the reality of the situation.Not acting to protect who you can is capitulation

Yes it is but it’s the reality that the media was never going to save us it has always been on us to educate others and work with them to stop this and we still have a lot of time to do all we can to make that happen.

Thousands in the streets of Paris celebrating and cheering “no pasaran” or "They will not pass” as the far right falls out n France’s election. Just absolutely amazing scenes tonight across France as they fight the fascists back. Now it’s our time to be brave and come together to for a united front.

Interesting enough the election directly before the handover the Nazis lost seats in the election.

Federal crime is subjective these days it appears.

The far right stochastic network is starting to push its followers into participatory events that are crimes. We are starting to see the game plan for the rights attempt to disrupt the election nationwide not just the process to make it law. This has the hallmark beginning of something really dark.

Here we see a right wing Twitter account with 1.3 million followers being retweeted by an account with 2.5 million followers calling for conservatives to sabotage the upcoming American election. Musk, BTW, has interacted amicably with these accounts several times.

Yes. But media was never going to protect us so it’s on all of us to educate others with that reality and truth.

Exactly. Fascism is not just unpopular most good people recoil at its blatant inhumanity and evil.

The media is fundamentally unable to understand and report on the far right in a responsible way in their current configuration.

So for all the narrative about the inevitable slide into anti-immigrant populism, four of Western Europe's five largest countries now have left or center left governments?

Aww cute you are uneducated and loud. Typical. Now get back to pretending you and your non ideology are important and have any basis in reality.

It’s hard to overstate what a victory for democracy it is that in France the far right lost to both the center and the left. working together to reject these fascists is key if America does the right thing we can, and will dismantle the worldwide fascist movement and destroy any chance they have had

The preliminary French election results coming from Swiss sources are looking like the left may be the winner and macron second. The far right appears to have had a bad night thankfully. Sure appears the world is rejecting the fascist push and we need to follow suit no matter what.

This is an incredibly well done podcast series (season 2 just kicked off) on the long history (and flourishing present) of right wing extremism in Idaho. This is the largely unacknowledged backdrop for that NYTimes story. www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

Yeah, you really don’t probably want to Google a lot of the stuff. I’m trying to explain. I should’ve maybe put a disclaimer on that but yeah now you know what the 14 words are I guess

The New York times literally running the 14 words in a piece on the print edition main page. “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is a mainstreamed version of the 14 words. TNYT is back to its Nazi defense
