Remember those three American professors (Shore, Snyder and Stanley) studying history and fascism, who left the #US for Canada?

A short video by them, absolutely worth watching:
nytimes.com/video/opinion/1000

«[T]he problem is not what’s hidden, it’s what we’ve normalised – because the whole strategy is to throw it all in your face.»

“Without a distinction between truth and lies, there is no grounding for a distinction between good and evil”

www.nytimes.com · Video: Opinion | We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the U.S.The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

This is important background to why working men have turned #Fascist. (It's not going to help: they're just screwed.)

"De-industrialisation in Germany, a historic upheaval for trade unions

Le Monde · La désindustrialisation en Allemagne, un bouleversement historique pour les syndicatsBy Cécile Boutelet

"Don’t normalize this moment. None of it. A senator, handcuffed for asking questions. A congresswoman indicted. Marines detaining citizens on American streets. A cabinet secretary calling for the liberation of Americans from their duly elected leaders. A judge indicted in a highly speculative case that looks more like a threat than justice."

Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance · The Week AheadBy Joyce Vance

A word you need to know right now

I’ve got a post going up tomorrow (Monday) morning, but the word you need to understand right now is:

Remigration

If you don’t already know this word – or if you’re in certain areas of academia and think you do, but do not in any context outside academia – you need to know what this word means right now. And you need to make sure your friends know what it means.

Wikipedia will explain it to you.

More tomorrow.

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party

The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform

These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes

Hope that helps

Analysis: "What went by 'McCarthyism' was not just one man or one party, it was the bipartisan consensus of our rulers."

Eg, The Smith Act, making membership in the Communist & Socialist Parties a crime, "was a 1940 product of FDR."

"The new McCarthy Era, like the old, has seen brazenly illegal jailings and deportations, false accusations with no evidence, & the destruction of professional careers."

Interview: "How did the press turn itself into a fawning echo chamber for the billionaire class?"

"The acceptable range of opinion is so narrow it is almost nonexistent."

"How did this happen, & what can we do to fight back?"
