It's hard for people with low self-esteem to not buy into the bullying crowd once they realize they are all welcome there, and it beats being a target. The price is your soul.

"Berlin police arrest scores as neo-Nazi march blocked"
"Right-wing extremists aimed to march through Berlin's district of Friedrichshain. However, they didn't get very far as counter-protests blocked the way."

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.)

"Unless evidence of violations is presented, such comments undermine the men & women of the #FBI. The FBI invites #DHS to partner in determining the source of any leaked information & working together professionally to ensure the safety & security of ongoing #immigration enforcement operations," it said.

"The FBl is so corrupt. We will work with any & every agency to stop leaks & prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law," #KristiNoem said.
"Making unfounded allegations calling #FBI agents corrupt is deeply irresponsible & has not been supported by any evidence to date," the FBI said in a statement on Friday.
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.

#Religious #extremists from all faiths should not have a place on the streets of #Europe. If you promote harm to anyone else on the basis of faith then it should be prison, period. We must stand up for those wronged by religious zealots across the world, whether it is the #Muslim victims in India or the #Christian victims in Egypt.
Lets tolerate everyone regardless of faith, or no faith. After all beliefs are personal... and should stay that way.

#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.

"Judge MEHTA has barred Stewart Rhodes and other Oath Keepers whose sentences were *commuted* from going into Washington or the U.S. Capitol without permission from the court."

There're so many injustices, but it's good to know that many judges don't comply with Trump.
The only mistake was for #Boebert and #NancyMace to be elected into office.

#FarRight #extremists, white nationalists, & neo-Nazis are celebrating an alarming gesture made by Musk
At a post-inauguration rally Monday, Elon #Musk thanked Donald #Trump’s supporters with a gesture that resembled a Roman salute, first putting his palm to his chest and then extending a stiff right arm toward the crowd, at a slight elevation and with his palm down. It wasn’t a one-off. He later repeated the gesture.

With most #Republican senators—maybe all—currently bowing before #Trump regarding his appointment of #unqualified loyalists & inexperienced #MAGA #extremists to the most important positions in government, a message has been conveyed: Trump is unfettered, federal agencies will do his bidding without a harrumph from the #GOP-led #Congress, & do not irk him. Moreover, as one might do with a mob boss, make sure to pay him protection money.
#ADL's #JonathanGreenblatt advocates 'capturing' #TikTok & pushing '#extremists' (anti-hasbara editors) off #Wikipedia but says nothing about #META (whose internal audit says it #discriminates against #Palestinians) nor #X (which allows #Nazis to run amok while limiting the reach of pro-Palestine content).
