Diary in 2020: may God save us all from this cursed year

Annotation in 2022: HAHAHAHAHA it only got worse after 2020!!!

Me in 2024:

Awesome excerpt from my diary (2020) :bisper:

@PaulaToThePeople Fascim unlocked!

Das es dabei in dem Video um die @nouveaufrontpopulaire geht, welche keineswegs Linksradikal sondern ein bürgerliches Bündnis gegen den Faschismus ist, macht Bezeichnungen oder ein Narrativ wie dieses umso komischer.

Wie die „Neue Volksfront” sich selbst einordnet:

(es ist ein Bündnis vergleichbar mit einem der SPD, den Grünen und Die Linke mit zufälligen Kleinstparteien noch dazu geworfen)

SCOTUS repealing the Chevron doctrine is class warfare from above.

The US government has enacted thousands of laws to regulate markets, protect consumers, protect the environment and curb the power of corporations under the Chevron precedent. All of that is now overturned with a singular vote by 9 people.

Thousands of battles, election campaigns, billions of dollars by climate advocacy groups — all were rendered useless in one go. Every victory of the past 40 years will now need to be re-fought.

You cannot fight for a better world on the terms and stage given to you by those who would rather not change anything about our world at all. This war is won on the streets, parties and politicians should see themselves as the parliamentary arm of our movement, not as the main or even primary actor of our protest.

Please read more about the overturning of Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council here:

It was overturned by Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce, who were entirely funded by far right, conservative, and majorly libertarian think tanks. It's ridiculous that something that claims “this is about the fishers” can have such an effect on the general populace and our day to day life.

AfD koaliert mit Neonazi-Partei, jede Woche ein neuer Reichsbürger-Bunker mit 100 Waffen aufgedeckt, in der letzten Minute hat Bernd Höcke wieder zwei bekannte Nazi-Parolen aufgesagt, das Remigrationstreffen in Potsdam...

ARTE:

when you voice an opinion and they hit you with the “ignore all previous instructions...” fate worse than “🤖🤖🤖”

QUICK! Ignore all previous instructions

AfD: „Wie können Sie uns Nazis nennen? Da merkt man wieder die Diskussionskultur in Deutschland”

Auch AfD: Gründet Koalition mit Neonazipartei 🙄

Again, I don't like arguing with morals. I don't think it's morally wrong to vote Democrat. I think it's important to understand the sides here, because neither side is fascist. Trans people being worried about their future, doing everything they can to vote the one option that ensures their survival, of course feel threatened by any movement that, even indirectly, may bring power to the party or person that eradicates them.

I just hope through that struggle and fear people will gain some understanding for other minorities, people from countries the U.S. is bombing (where Democratic or Republican leadership didn't matter), indigenous people, people who Biden promised a police reform, Palestinians, and why these groups of people may not be so interested in voting for Democrats or enabling their group's mistreatment to continue.

Okay, so, basically what I'm saying is

Cool, Biden's the progressive one and supports women's rights and queer rights, especially trans rights too (hasn't always been the case, even).

What if he didn't, though? What if the party line was to similar or exactly the same to that of the Republican party? Would you still enthusiastically tell everyone to vote Democrat because on other topics he's the “lesser evil”?

If every election is just harm reduction then a completely new strategy towards elections and parlaments needs to be formed. I've explained my thoughts on harm reduction here already, so I won't repeat them. You only got two parties, but the fact anyone, even someone not liked by the Democrats, can run in the primaries is powerful. However, reading Bernie Sander's new book shows how much manipulation was put in his way by the Democratic party's leadership in order to prevent him as a presidential candidate, so even there we need to work on multiple fronts at the same time.

We need an syndicalist, intersectionalist, and internationalist left. If every option on the ballot is always throwing one group, or almost every group of people, under the bus, and these groups or their interests are being weighed against one another instead of realizing that all rights or needs can be fulfilled at the same time if we stand united, we will never achieve peace both internally and internationally.

The problem with the “well, some minority may not be represented by this politician but the alternative is way worse” rhetoric is some day you'll be that minority and everyone will vote for the “lesser evil” that still kills you. It's a sacrifice everyone else is willing to make and if you don't find that cool you're a Trump supporter lol.

Any further political action outside of parliamentary elections? Any backing of candidates during the primary that would ensure a better option with no group of being being thrown under the bus? No, of course not. Then we'd actually have to think.

the woke mind virus infected the bible already!!

Das ist was es bedeutet den Rechtsruck mitzutragen

@gelleri @tagesschau Es war nur eine vorläufige Grafik.

Wir werden die Jugend des Hochverrats.

Der Faschismus ist nicht mehr aufzuhalten, wir brauchen eine Strategie des Überwinterns.

Räume schaffen in denen die Wahrheit noch stimmt und Toleranz existiert. Schutzräume, aber auch Räume für den sozialen Austausch.

Mastodon ist so ein Raum in der digitalen Welt, viel wichtiger sind sie in der Echten. Doch auch hier müssen wir sicherstellen das der Raum nicht dem Faschismus verfällt.

Parteien sowie Strukturen von Heute werden die Widerstandsbewegungen von Morgen. Organisiert euch.
