If you somehow missed it, this is a political ad of the German party the richest man in the world has thrown his weight behind.
If you don’t see the roman salutes in the picture, you are part of the problem and not the solution.

Karl Popper's Paradox of Intolerance, and how it's application leads one to regretfully conclude that, indeed to punch a nazi might be the only thing that can be done to prevent further damage to society when public display of fascist insignia & signals is encountered.
Of course this is youtube, so I can't say that. I called it ".. doing the thing" instead.
Enjoy.

#Neoliberalism #Racism #Capitalism #FarRight: "Neoliberals should have seen the end of the Cold War as a total victory—but they didn’t. Instead, they saw the chameleon of communism changing colors from red to green. The poison of civil rights, feminism, and environmentalism ran through the veins of the body politic and they needed an antidote.
To defy demands for equality, many neoliberals turned to nature. Race, intelligence, territory, and precious metal would be bulwarks against progressive politics. Reading and misreading the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they articulated a philosophy of three hards—hardwired human nature, hard borders, and hard money—and forged the alliances with racial psychologists, neoconfederates, ethnonationalists, and goldbugs that would become known as the alt-right.

Following Hayek’s bastards from Murray Rothbard to Charles Murray to Javier Milei, we find that key strains of the Far Right emerged within the neoliberal intellectual movement not against it. What has been reported as an ideological backlash against neoliberal globalization in recent years is often more of a frontlash. This history of ideas shows us that the reported clash of opposites is more like a family feud."

If you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll likely remember Rock Against Racism with some fondness & appreciate its work against the racist thugs of the 70s/80s.... now (responding to the weeks of far right attacks), RAR has been rebooted as Love Music Hate Racism... I hope it is as successful RAR in galvanising anti-fascism... and organising some great gigs

Given the extent of last night's counter protests.... its time to take the anti-fascists 'legitimate concerns' into consideration, we might/must conclude!

While its likely too early to draw conclusions about how the far right rioters will be dealt with (with only a small minority sentenced so far), the Equality Trust *do* sum up an emerging concern expressed here (and elsewhere).
"There is much discussion of the causes of what is being called #FarRight rioting in the UK this morning. No one is, unfortunately, calling it #NeoFascist on mainstream media, when that is what it is. Nor is this violence being described a #Racist, although it is apparent that this is exactly what motivates those who are rioting. ... When mainstream politics refuses to consider the solutions, or even name what is happening, we are in trouble."

"The Heritage Foundation today is the 800 pound gorilla on the right... it's not surprising that it took the lead in creating project 2025.
"Heritage, from the very beginning, blended the toxic cocktail.. of plutocratic economics, Christian nationalism & the weaponization of racism, gender anxiety, & parental fears about sex to achieve its goals".
& why Trump disappointed them & why they love Viktor Orbán

I find it sickening that the #media and, of course, politicians, are pushing the idea that the rise of the #farright (eg Holland) is fundamentally a result of immigration
so, it is the immigrant's fault and not the fault of the dominant society with its political, social and cultural system and institutions
and, also, what they're saying is that if you want to have less of the far-right you have to "solve" the "problem" of immigration
despicable
