Russophobia would be discrimination or suspicion for everyone who happens to be Russian.

There’s genuinely a lot of blatant examples of that going around in recent years, but reporting on the disinformation campaigns of the fascist Russian government is not it.

Also, “empire fearmongering” is such a weird tankie phrase, implying either that Putin et al have no ambitions of geopolitical governance, or that countries dominating other countries is ever a good thing. Ridiculous either way.

That’s what you get when you appoint a fanfic excreter and a fascist podcaster to the top jobs

According to the above rule and also just generally.

Old news, but the article pic is amazing!

Sure, but outside of hyper–authoritarian government, no man’s verbal or written dissent is terrorism.

Except the Epstein debacle is itself a distraction from more important things.

Is Trump a predatory sexual abuser? Doubtlessly.

Does he need to be tried and convicted for his crimes? Of COURSE!

That being said, the fascist takeover of the richest and most powerful country in the history of the world with its resulting elimination of all opposition and civil rights is many more times more important than the personal crimes of one bastard, no matter how heinous the crimes and powerful the person.

Actually, they came for immigrants first. Arguably black people.

Pedantry aside, the poem you’re referencing is 100% applicable.

We’ve always been at war with the concept of Eurasia

making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

That’s not just deliberate, it’s the point.

By keeping it vague while controlling the agencies and courts responsible for enforcing it, they can declare all resistance to be Antifa (like their media echo chamber already does) and thus terrorism.

This is literally criminalizing constitutionally protected dissent and then elevating the crime to terrorism.

“I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated"

Proof positive that he doesn’t know how the law works, since funding a designated terrorist organization is already deemed a crime and thus investigated 🙄

Or Facebook

Impoverished fascists becoming much worse off be like

Nah the free space has always been bigotry. Bigotry and projection.

The two free spaces have always been bigotry, projection, and gaslighting.

Amongst the free spaces are…

Tbf, the whole thing WOULD be much funnier (and less embarrassing) with Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles playing the parts of the two doddering billionaire idiots and Aisha Tyler moderating 🤷

Nice! 😄

Aaand there goes dozens of hours of my life, probably! Thanks! 😄

First things first: this should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Japanese politics. It’s been a far right genocide denying shit show for roughly ever.

Secondly, “finalizing plans not to recognize Palestine for the time being” sounds like the epitome of bureaucratic time wasting 😄

“Can’t talk, too busy! I’m hard at work planning for not doing a thing right now!”

Fuck it.

You’re clearly either willfully obtuse or incapable of understanding a simple point no matter how many times I repeat and rephrase it, so I’ll stop wasting my time on you.

Have the day you deserve.

Again, “your pessimistic expectations” ≠ “inescapable reality”.

For the third and last time: by equating “hasn’t happened” with “can’t happen”, thereby pissing in the cereal of anyone who wants to believe that Mamdani might actually be the real deal.
