A year of hate: what I learned when undercover with the far right

For more than a year, I went #undercover in the #British #FarRight

Using the pseudonym Chris, I spent time with nine different groups of #extremists. Among them were a:

- Political party
- Circle of #Holocaust deniers
- Organisation backed by an #American #tech #tycoon that sought to prove black people are genetically less intelligent than white people.

#NH #NHGOP #Republicans #extremists

Hello NH. When you elect a #Republican politician, you get crap like this.

#Restrictive NH #voting laws costs the State money, create confusion, #target #married #women and accomplish nothing, as there's never been a case where a non-citizen has voted in the State.

There have been a number of #vote #Fraud cases, and the majority of those? Committed by Republicans. Of course.

GET TO THE POLLS. VOTE THE EXTREMISTS OUT.

Day 18 cont 🪓⛏️🔨👺😷🥷

#DanielJones claimed responsibility for the #confrontation on Tuesday, alongside alt-right group #Melbourne #FreedomRally, in an incident that sparked #safety concerns about the ability of #extremists to #infiltrate #SecureLocations during the #election campaign.”

The two most dangerous times for diplomatic and political security is INGRESS and EGRESS from cars to buildings, buildings to cars. How did the extremists learn the TIME and PLACE of the PM?

Aerofreak, what is your definition of capitalism?

💯 agreement if:
a) you are talking about the almost completely unregulated mess the #neoliberal #extremists have foisted on us.
AND
b) agree that market forces/better mousetrap opportunities are essential to developing new, and improving existing, goods and services.

My POV: people are a complex mix of competitive and collaborative, and one of the powerful motivators is to solve problems. Any solution needs to build on both of those.

(Yes, there are those whose sole goals are money and/or power, but they are not the majority, even if they won in 2024. And a challenge moving forward is how to manage that. I think the New Deal through Civil Rights era show that it's possible to do so.)

Complaining about getting a lot of #deaththreats ? Why not:
- avoid threatening invaded countries to cut them off vital communications
- stop paying #extremists in #europeanelections
- avoid taking away the lifes of thousands of families of #federalworkers
- stay out of the #personaldata of millions of #citizens
And simply:
- stick to stupid things like making #tesla's or flying to #mars

#Extremists would not need to create #authoritarian state in #Britain: #Starmer is doing that for them

3 authoritarian state features

- Persecution of #dissent
- Parajudicial measures to shut down opposition
- Selective application of law

All 3 are widely deployed in #UK

Introduced by #Tories, sustained & defended by Starmer's Party

When I applied for a talk on #AI at the #winterkongress in #Switzerland the world looked different

Now we are a couple of days from the #elections in #Germany. An election that will be a huge success for the #right-winged #extremists

Not only in votes, but because they herded most of the other parties to the right.

In this election, like in so many others, we do not talk about #power or #climatechange but about taking human rights from people

Power is the problem not refugees

They make claims at odds with reality and use eagerness to repeat them as a test of loyalty. The result is politicians acting in seemingly irrational ways, to the detriment of their own standing with voters and against the interests of the country.

Data on #DomesticTerrorism investigations indicate #FarRight #extremists have been a rising threat to Americans over the past half decade….The rate of increase in domestic-terrorism-related cases is eye-popping: A Feb 2023 Govt Accountability Office report found the #FBI tallied 9,049 such cases in 2021, up from 5,557 in 2020; 4,092 such cases in 2019; & 3,714 in 2018. In 2017, the year of #UniteTheRight, there were 1,890 domestic-terrorism-related cases, nearly equivalent to the preceding 4yrs.

#DickDurbin, the top Dem on the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, pressed #KashPatel on appearances he made on a podcast hosted by #StewPeters. Peters has often expressed #antisemitic & #WhiteNationalist views.
Pressed by Durbin about why he has associated w/so many #extremists & #ConspiracyTheorists, Patel claimed he went on podcasts to take on people putting out #ConspiracyTheories in order to disabuse them of their false impressions & to talk to them about the truth. A flat-out #lie.
