Let me make clear things about the new ...immigration minister of Greece, Makis Voridis. He is known racist, fascist, openly supporter of the dictatorship and representing publicly the dictator himself (while in prison) after 1974. Now Mitsotakis lackey!

how can I not BE ANGRY!!!

The Guardian · Greek PM seeks ‘reset’ with former far-right activist as migration ministerBy Helena Smith

Just 80 years passed since #Auschwitz liberation and parts of the world are turning into #fasism. Sadly #Israel PM won't attend because he is wanted for alledged war crimes against #Palestinians. Let's contemplate it for a moment: just 80 years passed. Last survivors are still alive.

"China vows to support World Health Organization after the withdrawal of US."

Now many Americans find themselves siding with Xi over Trump.

Everything is in chaos, as expected with the Trump regime, & we're only 4 days in. He wants Americans to feel defeated & helpless. That's not what's happening.

This article in the Atlantic about Trump saying he wished his generals were like Hitler's (WTAF) is making the rounds, and in any normal circumstance this would doom a presidential candidate. Gift article if you haven't been able to read it. This needs to be the main story in all media for the next 14 days, NOT polling numbers or other "both sides" BS.

Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’

The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening.

There's a very good word "ethnonationist" that describes the type of ultranationalists who are the most annoying and the worst kind in my opinion. It's very useful to just use this word as a short hand to describe people who say and think shit like "nations are defined by a shared heritage, which usually includes a common language, a common faith, and a common ethnic ancestry".

This stuff is very concerning to me - the push to normalize and mainstreaming White Supremacists Neo-Nazis.

The group in this article is responsible for 80% of white supremacist neo-nazi propoganda in the US.

"Trump is not actually running for a second term—he is running for a forever term," says Chris Hayes. "The problem with giving that man a stage and an audience...is that that view—"I should rule"—is not a view that can be debated."

MSNBCHayes on Trump town hall: A seditious candidate can't be debated, only defeatedBy MSNBC.com

Climate Change and the Rise of Fascism have a lot in common. They're inextricably linked in a lot of ways, actually. Here's one that we would do well to pay close attention to: distrust of government.

It turns out, government is literally the thing preventing anarchy, and trust me, you don't want anarchy. Luckily, though, anarchy doesn't exist in nature. Order always arises. This is a fact of evolution. The question is what kind of order will arise. Government is just a description of this order. It is both necessary for survival and unavoidable in any case. So, saying "I hate government" is literally the same as saying, "I hate how the universe is." Which... fine. Go for it. And good luck changing it.

The question is how we arrange our government. That's what matters. And most people with laudable and scientific values espouse some form of democracy, where everybody is, at least in theory, treated equally.

But... we don't really like being treated equally, and most people, when they complain about government, are objecting to having been treated equally. We call up customer service, and they tell us they have a no return policy on worn clothes, and we would like to speak to the manager, because we'd like them to treat us differently than everybody else.

Most of the time, when we want to be treated differently, we want to be treated better. We want what we want faster. We want more of it. We don't want to pay full price for it. And this, as you can surely extrapolate, is why we're all on a path to choking to death on poisoned air, desiccated from a lack of drinkable water.

The most important function of government is regulation.

And if we're going to have any hope of surviving the coming decades with anything approaching a healthy, happy society, we're going to have to get used to a lot more regulation. We're going to have to realize that we are not the exception to the rules, and accept that life is sometimes slower than we'd like, and we can't literally have everything we want, exactly the way we want it, all the time.

This is a difficult sell, because the Fascists weaponize the same line to cut Medicare and Social Security. "We just have to learn to live with it because we need to balance the budget." Except, the lie in plain sight. None of them are on Social Security or Medicare. It doesn't change anything for them, because they are the exceptions to the rules. In a well regulated, democratic society, they too would rely on Social Security and Medicare, and wouldn't dream of cutting it.

And thus, the paradox is exposed. We are often correct to note that the way various governments work is unfair. And we'd like to be treated better. And we're correct in wanting that some of the time. But in order to get what we want, we have to stop making it about us, individually, and begin making it about us, collectively. Either apply this rule to *everybody* or make a new rule for everybody.

The absolute worst thing to do is *decrease* regulation, when what we actually want is *increased* regulation. Because it's hard for us to see past our own experience. But this is probably the only thing that will save humanity.
