The Far Left and Far Right having common interests that overlap in the center proves horseshoe theory. Or is it more like a lemniscate?

Anyway, you can't trust people who don't want foreign wars.

oh the texan nationalist movement. i follow those guys a bit. they're crypto-fash as gently caress.



redice is one of those neo-nazi youtube channels. that image is from a private twitter account where this texan nationalist activist posts tons of nazi stuff. vanguard. league of the south. etc. etc. etc.

i'll add that their influence on the state government is practically zilch if not in the negative numbers. i believe the last time they showed up during a legislative session, they barged around the capitol building acting like total jackasses and pissed off a bunch of legislators.

people who get really really really mad about centralism often can't organize a pizza party without coming to blows over it. a kneejerk commitment to absolute horizontalism ignores and thus entrenches invisible power dynamics. as literally anyone who has worked with other people irl before can point out

Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous. It ties into this idea that woke bullying (always organized online and rarely if ever involving showing up to meetings or events) or whatever is an effective way to resolve ideological differences because you get three guesses about the people who are actually vulnerable to that kind of back room poo poo.

Update on the SPLC red-baiting article: it got removed, along with two similar articles by the same author, with a published retraction and apology. Apparently the higher-ups weren't even aware of the content.

Although in that article they apologize to Tim Pool, who is a massive dunce and has been edging closer to the alt-right for a while.

The communist party lost big to the BJP in the last Tripura elections - and the Hindu nationalists immediately seized on the victory by knocking down all the Lenin statues. They're wearing masks of Lenin to protest the attacks.

When you were partying, I studied WW2. When you were having premarital sex, I mastered Communism. While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated Animal Farm. And now that the world is on fire and the Marx is at the gate you have the audacity to come to Bernie for help.

CPI was in power in Tripura for 25 years, so the reactionary wave following BJP just overwhelmed incumbency fatigue. I haven't looked into it much beyond the surface level though. The BJP is just gripping the Hindu imagination right now, so maybe they were relatively apolitical before Modi came along.

If the articles were defensible the SPLC wouldn't have pulled them. There were three and only one mentioned Ben. They obviously had a genuine disagreement with the author and the people who are claiming Kremlin thugs are intimidating this massive org with a dedicated legal team and hundreds of millions of dollars are clearly full of it.
