And in the last year they [the #IDF] acted if they are trained #sadist, and they're getting a kick out of it, in a way that I haven't seen other #soldiers in other #conflicts doing. And that is probably the worst thing that can happen to a professional #army. But this is not a professional army, it's a democratic army. It's an army of the people and the people are #racist, #hateful, they are Jewish supremacist, which on the whole means white supremacist. And the way that #apartheid has trained them means that they have no compunction about #killing any number of people and any kind of non-combatant is fine.

#UKpol #immigration

A good read from Nesrine Malik on the recent #racist riots in the #UK. Excerpt:

After the riots, Keir Starmer should tell us the truth about our country. The violence exposed racist, anti-immigration narratives based on lies. Yet there has been a gaping hole where the counter-argument should be.What he should say is that immigration is not “out of control”. That we do, in fact, have control of our borders, and that the vast majority who come to the country are allowed in after meeting an extremely high visa threshold.

He will not say this, because the illusion that immigration is something that a government can fully “control”, that is not subject to economic dynamics and the needs of public infrastructure, is important to maintain.

What he should say is that those who are not allowed or invited in constitute a tiny fraction of overall immigration. That asylum seekers are not merely an administrative processing concern, but a human rights one. That the UK has obligations, and moreover, values and convictions, that necessitate looking fairly and humanely upon the resettlement needs of those fleeing war, persecution and the devastation of their countries.

He will not, because, well, it feels like heresy just to have typed the above. ... an almost total failure by the media and politicians to humanise asylum seekers, makes pointing out their needs and real numbers forbidden.

We're all racists, probably even more so if we aren't on Mastodon

So I've just learned the other day that curating your timeline/stream according to your personal interests and/or the topic of your account/channel is utterly racist. No matter how specialised your account/channel is.

Everyone in the Fediverse is basically required to follow a substantial amount of Black users, especially Black activists. If you're on Hubzilla or (streams), you must actually follow them, i.e. you must give them full permissions to send you anything and everything unhindered and unlimited. You must not use account/channel-wide or per-contact filters on them. Even if each one of them boosts 100 posts per day, you must not filter or disallow their boosts.

Also, if you're on Friendica, Hubzilla or (streams), all of which count and list unread messages, you must not simply mark what has come in from them as read. You must read it all and be interested in it all. This includes all comments on these posts. And yes, you must re-read everything whenever it tries to catch your attention again, e.g. if someone has liked/faved or boosted/reposted/renoted/repeated it.

But even if you receive thousands of comments along with those hundreds of extra posts, you must not comment on these comments. Not unless either a comment mentions you explicitly, or you're mutually connected to whoever wrote the comment. As you wouldn't even receive that comment on Mastodon, replying to it counts as reply-guying and mansplaining on Mastodon, completely regardless of how you comment. It's highly disrespectful, and if Black people are involved, it's racist.

It doesn't matter if this has allegedly been perfectly normal, the standard and part of the culture since five and a half years before Mastodon was launched. Mastodon rules supreme over the whole Fediverse, and only Mastodon's culture has any validity anywhere in the Fediverse. Any culture that differs from Mastodon's is toxic and evil and must be abolished.

Speaking of which, let's suppose you come across one of these many threads in which Black Mastodon users talk with other Black Mastodon users and Mastodon-using allies about how the Fediverse needs to be made safer. In this case, no matter how blatantly obvious it is that all people involved in this thread have no idea of the Fediverse outside Mastodon, you are not allowed to chime in and tell them about places which are safer due to their technological design and how they work.

First of all, it'd be mansplaining and reply-guying. Second, there's a tendency for Black Mastodon users to trust the rest of the Fediverse even less than Mastodon, what with e.g. Nazi instances on Pleroma. And third, your suggestion is likely to be taken for an attempt at nudging them into moving to one specific place, essentially trying to hoard them in a ghetto and segregate them from the rest of the Fediverse. In short, there's letting them wait for the Mastodon instances they're on to improve, and there's racism.

While we're at it: Even if you're on Friendica, Hubzilla or (streams), and you hate Mastodon with a burning passion for very good reasons, you must support Black-led Mastodon instances. Otherwise you're a racist.

Lastly, while I don't have proof for it, I'm pretty sure that everything that counts as racism towards Black users may also count as

- racist towards everyone else who isn't white
- sexist towards everyone who isn't cis-male
- homophobic towards everyone who isn't heterosexual
- transphobic towards trans people
- generally queerphobic towards everyone who isn't cisgender
- ableist towards disabled people, no matter what else you do to include them
- Islamophobic towards Muslims
- anti-Semitic/anti-Judaist towards Jews
- and generally hostile and xenophobic towards all marginalised minorities anywhere in the Fediverse.

#Antisemitic discourse, the #terror of october 7th and the subsequent #boycott #movement in #academia, club- and #subculture

An english-speaking panel discussion with David Hirsh, Nicholas Potter, Tanja Ehmann & the #Punks against #antisemitism, followed by a concert with Morgen Teuer TĂśten, Die feuchten Banditen & Peitsche

Friday – 05.07.2024 – 19:00 – Skatehalle #Berlin (Revaler Str. 99, F’hain)

These days, we are witnessing antisemitic outrage nearly everywhere: on campus, in the cultural sphere, in subculture, on the streets, in social media. This is nothing new, but it is getting more intense, more aggressive, like the city’s new steady pulse. People, synagogues and other buildings, campuses and venues are attacked, public speeches are shouted down, #Israeli institutions and academics are boycotted.

The #sexual #violence of the 7th October is denied or justified by so-called #feminist activists. #Hamas #propaganda manifests itself and is multiplied by social media. People are excited by the terror of 7th October – by #torture, #murder, and #rape. Objecting this propaganda is usually decried as #racist.

When the ‘ #PunksAgainstAntisemitism’ (AKA Punks) surfaced in Berlin in the aftermath of #7thOctober, a huge shitstorm on social media followed. People were spewing their unsolicited hatred, and the hatred did not take long to spread, coming from Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland... Bands and venues are threatened with boycott.

The mechanisms seem to be the same in every sector. #Screaming down people, #doxing, verbal #threats and physical #attacks, boycott campaigns.

Our panel does not exclusively aim to focus on Berlin or subculture. We want to speak about the processes currently at work in the multifaceted world of vile antisemitism. This antisemitism elates and excites people, a new lifestyle that encourages them to terrorise #Jews and others while being thoroughly convinced to do something good.

It is a great honour to have David Hirsh with us this evening, and we look forward to discussing all these topics with him, Nicholas Potter and Tanja Ehmann.

Afterwards we’ll have a fabulous show with Morgen Teuer Töten, Die feuchten Banditen and Peitsche!

#Reform candidate linked with offensive social media posts

#Reform’s candidate for #Orkney and #Shetland allegedly suggested former first minister Nicola Sturgeon should be shot and used a homophobic slur to describe people who took Covid vaccines, it has been reported.

Robert Smith is also accused, _in a reference to the Royal family, of saying he would “prefer Fred and Rose [West] to any of these cs”_*.

The former #Brexit Party candidate likened the rainbow symbol used in support of the NHS during the pandemic to “the new swastika”.

Mr Smith’s social media posts were revealed last night by The Daily Mail and The Times.

Several posts can still be seen on his Twitter profile, @Robertbigbags, where he describes himself, among other things, as a fisherman, award-winning scallop supplier and “git”.

Another day, another report on rising #antisemitism. Since 7 October, in #Canada

shots have been fired at #Jewish schools, a #synagogue and com­munity centre fire­bombed, #Swastikas painted on Jew­ish homes, Jew­ish #university stu­dents and fac­ulty intim­id­ated and threatened, Jew­ish busi­nesses van­dal­ized, and their cus­tom­ers sur­roun­ded by angry demon­strat­ors.

Tra­gic­ally, it's not as if any of these things are new — they've just exploded since Oct. 7. Year after year #Jews, des­pite their rel­at­ively small pop­u­la­tion, are the most tar­geted group in Canada for reli­giously motiv­ated #hate crimes.

As the fed­eral gov­ern­ment said long before the start of the Israel/hamas war: “Anti-semit­ism con­tin­ues to per­sist in Canada, mani­fest­ing itself through van­dal­ism and graf­fiti; cir­cu­la­tion of hate pro­pa­ganda; intol­er­ance and #racist lan­guage in places like Twit­ter, in com­ments sec­tions, web for­ums and blogs; bomb threats to Jew­ish schools and com­munity centres; intim­id­a­tion of Jew­ish uni­versity stu­dents; and the use of the Boy­cott, Divest­ment and Sanc­tions (BDS) move­ment to del­e­git­im­ize the State of Israel.”

#kidney stones #racist #Fonda #hates while men #global warming
Kidney stones are rising among children and teens, especially girls, research shows
Under totalitarianism, orthodox ideology is applied to everything imaginable — even kidney stones
Experts aren’t sure why more children and teens are developing the condition, but they speculate that a combination of factors are to blame, including … climate change causing more cases of dehydration.
Seriously: climate change. Here’s proof: Doctors who spoke to NBC News said they see more kids with kidney stones in the summer than any other season.
As Jane Fonda will be glad to shriek at you, global warming is caused by white men, who should therefore be imprisoned.
Kidney stones are of course racist: Black adults and children in the study also developed kidney stones at greater rates than whites.
Fortunately, there is an obvious cure for kidney stones. We must allow Big Government to regulate the temperature by seizing more of our money and lowering our standard of living... ==moonbats
