Interesting that the 1920s were such a boom time for the #KKK. Could that have been a symptom of the same underlying corruption of social norms and governance that finally caused the #GreatDepression?

Does the resurgence of #WhiteSupremacy during an unreasonable tech bubble mean that we are about to enter a dark decade of collapse and suffering?

My sister-in-law just spotted this flyer on her Facebook timeline. Anybody feel like taking a trip to Daniel Boone National Forest? Too bad they don't have a specific date on the flyer.
Anybody else seen anything like this going around?
i did not know about Leadbelly’s “stay woke” - more confirmation that the current reactionary “anti-woke” cultural movement is literally just the unbroken lineage of Ku Klux Klan bullshit.

Trump and the KKK
The #KKK of the 1920s had millions of members outside the South. It targeted #Catholics and #Jews as well as #blacks, and had impressive success at electing governors and congressmen. It passed #anti-immigrant restrictions. Fred #Trump, the president’s father, was arrested as a young man at a Klan march in New York City.
Nancy MacLean uncovered the historical connection between the Koch brothers’ anti-government politics.

Did you know that one of the worst race riots that happened in the United States happened in #CentralFlorida (#Ocoee) on November 2, 1920? A few Black men wanted to #vote in the 1920 Presidential #Election and the #KKK didn't want that. #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #TheOcoeeMassacre #Florida #GOTV #USpol #NeverForget

#ItsGoingDown - This Week in #Fascism #139: Communities Hit Back Against #NeoNazis As #Trump Comes to Power; Thousands Protest Against #ICE & in Solidarity with #TransPeople
February 13, 2025
"The second Trump administration has officially begun and less than a month in, we are already in a #ConstitutionalCrisis. As the #Trumpian state embraces the threat of ignoring court orders, it also risks pushing the US into an all out #TechnoDictatorship. But as the line between the State and the far-Right becomes increasingly blurred – the question must be asked, what does the antifascist struggle mean when an oligarch like Trump is in power? We don’t have any easy answers, but antifascists have a lot of skills that we can bring to the table: both in terms of analysis, understanding the players in the unfolding terrain, and skills that we can share with people.
"More importantly, we have movement memory of battles fought and lessons learned: from the working-class kids who formed the backbone of #AntiRacistAction (#ARA) and took on the #KKK and neo-Nazi skinheads, to the fight against the #AltRight during Trump’s first term, which saw tens of thousands of people hitting the streets against #WhiteSupremacists. These past struggles can inspire and inform what is happening today.
"And there’s a lot to do. With the pardoning of the January 6th rioters, Trump has signaled that far-Right loyalists will receive a pass from the State to engage in violence against enemies of the regime. This is a reality that only amplifies what we saw during the first Trump administration, when Chad Wolf’s DHS pushed for #antifascists to be targeted by law enforcement and for the state to downplay the threat from the far-Right. This move lead to federal forces descending on Portland, OR during the #GeorgeFloydUprising, and the outright assassination of #MichealReinoehl. The more we can build public opposition to this new reality and encourage widespread #resistance to Trump’s policies, the safer we all will be."

Reminder: it was the American Eugenics movement which inspired Hitler. "And that's really what we're talking about here. Not “DEI,” but something much closer to eugenics. Trump and others like him who malign DEI appear to believe that minorities are dumber and less capable than our white male counterparts." #hitler #trump #eugenics #racism #misogyny #dei #kkk #whitesupremacists #whitenationalists https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/dei-was-always-flawed-its-being-replaced-with-something-much-worse/article_b6debba2-eb0c-11ef-9877-1b519300d482.html

Remember, #canadafirst comes from #nazis and the #kkk, and #neverpoilievre things we're too stupid to know that.

Canada, please remember...the political sociology of "Canada First" has #nazi and #kkk origins.
It is mooooooore than just a dog whistle.

individuals like Matt Walsh, as well as Libs of TikTok apparently use Shopify to do business and their entire brands are built off of just hating and demonizing and monetizing bigotry against the LGBTQ community.
As it also turns out, the COO of the company is, in fact, the director of a Canadian far-right media outlet, too. So I guess this whole selling fascist merch on your platform is just par for the course and totally fine on Shopify, save for any fraud that might go on because apparently there's some actual ideological alignment there.
Don't use Shopify.
USAID was started to undermine the relief / solidarity work of communist societies through the exertion of soft power. It has always been a right wing project. MAGA just suffers from such terminal John Birch Society brain that they view everything as “woke”. Arguably stupider than the klan (tho similar in many other ways).

So a couple things...
1. Ratface Spanky is gambling on the cult of personality, by using his name instead of the party or the logo. Oddly, he's not even as compelling a personality as #BigHands.
2. When will they fully move from "bring it home" to the #nazi and #kkk inspired #canadafirst? Also, what is IT we're bringing home?
The c/a/n/a/d/a project is so vile.
