And so it starts;

Police have arrested peaceful demonstrators under the Terrorism Act, for holding placards in support of Palestine Action.

Yes, Britain the home of democracy....

Yvette Cooper should be ashamed of herself for this attack on democracy & the right to protest.

How has it come to this?

From today's analysis, and backed by historic examples, that great innovation of the #AmericanRevolution just might be alien to and incompatible with the (historic) concept of #Democracy.

In fact, this would go a great way to explain why the #US have deteriorated into a #Racist #Plutocracy, possibly a #Dictatorship or #Tyranny.

If I were correct, that would be extremely sad for humanity

Rather, it seems to be the #Janus-faced dark side of #Democracy:
Both ancient #Democracies, #Athen's and #Rome's, were also strongly #Imperialist and, stretching the 19th century invention of the nation state a bit anachronisticly, they were also #Nationalist as their "country" came first.

However, what was utterly new in the #AmericanExperiment, IMO, was the concept stated in that much-quoted, holy #US document, the #DeclarationOfIndependence:

"...We hold these truths to @xankarn @HistoPol


colonists.

What is more, as with all societies, even the ancient #Democracy of #Athens had a #Racist, #Nationalist vein:

"A good deal of evidence from the classical age suggests that Athenians did consider their citizenship something very valuable. 👉It was, for example, only sparingly granted to foreigners,👈 particularly in the fifth century.²" (#Manville)

Then, how about that other great example of #Democracy, ancient #Rome? Wasn't it an inclusive society? Writes @xankarn @HistoPol

I'm saying: Let's nominate Dr. Hannibal Lecter for Nobel Peace Prize!
🤔🙇😂😂😂😂😂😂🙇😂😂😂😂😂😂

MAGA folks may nominate all they want... even a mass murderer.

That's still no guarantee he'll ever get anything else but a fictitious psychopathy prize.

Never mind necessary, never mind inevitable, never mind just.

They really want to live in a world where we don't need to #violently #overthrow the old order to make way for a new one because deep down they do know that isn't the world they live in & #escapism is more alluring than #reality.

They would rather shut themselves away in Narnia than accept that the only way we're going to create a better world is by trampling over those who run the current one, but because they were told #political power comes from #votes instead of #guns they can't accept that this is even possible.

As with the rest of the #Rightwing liberals just project their own failings onto the #Left. Every mistake, every error, every crippling weakness of their ideals is slapped onto us because they would rather blindly follow a comforting lie than embrace the harsh truth that change comes through force.

Even as the world is collapsing under the weight of the endless contradictions of their own insipid #ideology & said ideology withers & dies before their very eyes they remain convinced that the #deathcult they indoctrinated into is destined to save us all while in reality it's killing us.

They unironically believe in the End of #History- that this is the best we can do & that nothing better will ever happen.

*They* are the ones who have zero #hope or #faith in anything & they hate us for refusing to share their shortened vision; for refusing to accept the unacceptable.

#Politics #Democrats #Republicans #Liberals #Conservatives #Vote #Election #DemocraticParty #RepublicanParty #DonaldTrump #Trump #JoeBiden #Biden #KamalaHarris #TimWalz #Democracy #US #USA #Musk #Fascism #Fascist


They have a stunted imagination; even when you give them an ear full of #revolutionary #optimism they shut it out.

Why? Cos their accusations are just projection. They look around themselves & they do understand how awful everything is but unlike us they don't believe it can ever change.

So many #libs out here calling #leftists: #doomers, #nihilists & #pessimists cause we bothered to #learn about how the system works & why it can't be fixed, just casually ignoring that we don't believe change is hopeless - just change within the system.

It's very telling of their worldview.

re:publica 25: Save Social - Wie bekommen wir ein besseres Netz?


Save Social - Wie bekommen wir ein besseres Netz?

Die "Save Social"-Initiative sprach vielen aus der Seele, dass wir uns bessere Soziale Medien (zurück)wünschen. Wo sind wir gelandet und wie bekommen wir gemeinwohlorientiertere Öffentlichkeiten, die nicht in der Hand einzelner Milliardäre und ihrer politischen Agenden sind?

A parliamentary committee overseeing #intelligence confirmed earlier this month that #Italy had used mercenary spyware made by Israel-based Paragon Solutions against two Italian #activists.

#capitalism, in the meaning of the #rightOfOwnership, but neither in the meaning of “the free market is (always) right,” nor “#neoliberalism,” (=Grasshopper Economics,) is necessary for #democracy.

Therefore, I'm a #socialist, not a #communist

Legacy media continue to propagate a “both sides” framework in their coverage of escalating political violence in the US.

Friends, that’s not what the data show.
