10 Signs of Fascism. America Has All of Them. YouTube video by Rutger Bregman

I made a video about fascism in America.
Not as an insult. As a clinical diagnosis -->

This is weird one, even for him.

“In my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal

It’s time to return to our European family. Follow to this channel (and @europeanmovement.co.uk to support. 🙏

Who do they represent? Themselves.

Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman missed NINE votes in Parliament last night, all because they had a more important Reform UK rally on the Isle of Wight.

They think they are too big to do their job.

Not really breaking any news here.

Ah, the reverse victim card. We bombed children but OMG we're being harassed by journalists! Psychologists would say an individual like this may be a narcissist, the USA is playing from the malignant narcissist play book as a country.

NEW
DHS leadership reportedly removed top privacy officials after they objected to government records being mislabeled to keep them from the public.

According to WIRED, the officials raised transparency concerns and then were pushed out of the department.

I explained a while ago that it would be impossible to say anything about Trump’s Iranian ‘adventure’ with absolute certainty. I’m sorry, I was wrong. He will *never* do anything that genuinely upsets or angers Vladimir Putin. Whether in Iran, in Ukraine or even in the USA. It is his only constant.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

The US military has slaughtered dozens of young girls at a school in Minab, Southern Iran, hit by a US tomahawk missile, as proven by independent investigation. Trump and Hegseth have blatantly lied about it, Trump ludicrously saying it was Iran's fault. Impeach these war criminals now.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

Already followed one but thanks for the tip about the other, always good to have outlets that aren't knees deep in propaganda and dodgy bias.

Absolutely! I was saying the exact same thing just this morning.

Yep, this morning on Sky News, Robert Jenrick. Had to switch off.

We need @marina-purkiss.bsky.social to speak some sense to the rambling idiot.

Your presidency will not keep protecting you. Justice will reach you. Evidence does not bend to fear, & no amount of power or influence can shield you from accountability. Power can delay justice, but it cannot stop it. You will face it & you will answer for everything.

Some people want him dead, I don't. I desperately hope he lives to pay for all his crimes and lives to serve his final years in prison.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

My mother is also from Glasgow. I lived there between the age of 7 - 17 then went back for a good few years. Love that city, the people do have that easy way of cutting the bullshit while being friendly. Honest but not rude, respectful while bowing down to no one. N Ireland very similar.

Definitely worth it. The older I get the less I care about upsetting annoying people.

And you!

Thanks for this, having skimmed it, very interesting! While UK isn't researched in this paper the same notion was mirrored in Thatcher's individualistic outlook. When united in a common cause people are less vulnerable to capitalistic, neo-liberal values. Divide and conquer.

I can't watch this movie anymore because it wasn't a comedy movie, it was a terrifying prediction.

Agreed. Any news outlet overlooking real intellectuals in favour of booking either of these idiots should hang their heads in shame for placing popular entertainment over proper current affairs debate. In such situations there's always an agenda in place to normalise such idiocy.

The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.
