The biggest advocates for non-violence are white cis heterosexual men. It is the failure to recognize the multifaceted nature of violence itself. Punching a Nazi can mean that other Nazis stop looking up to them, and they stop being able to effectively organize.

You should be selective and strategic with who you punch. Typically you will want to go for leadership, or the guy who offers a connection between two groups that you consider a risk.

That being said, you should also consider that you probably aren’t going to have as much success punching a Nazi on their terms. A lot of them are into their gym and guns so it tends to be to your advantage to catch them alone when you are in a group. Sometimes the opportunity will come after one of their demonstrations when they are walking to their car. Other times, it can be useful to find where they live and work.

Punching Nazis isn’t an everyday thing but its unrealistic to claim it isn’t sometimes necessary. It works very effectively as part of a bigger picture. Alongside it, you can put stickers on their doors in the middle of the night. If the circumstances arise, you can do silly stuff like convincing one that another fascist is sleeping with his equally shitty wife.

Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this “Rights Alliance” group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.

This is yet more “one rule for them and one rule for everyone else” from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won’t pay into their state-enforced protection racket.

Voat came about when FatPeopleHate got banned Ovarit is similar but for the anti-trans subreddit GenderCritical. Gab is also on there which is an even further right Mastodon fork than Truth Social.

gtk3-classic still doesn’t work properly on Wayland and I doubt it will ever be fixed so I include WAYLAND_DISPLAY=0 in each shortcut file to force them into xwayland.

Love Music Hate Racism has been going for years and it is a recruitment front for Stand Up to Racism, which itself is a front for the Socialist Worker Party, a group with an extreme history of abuse and movement sabotage and you can read about it at linktr.ee/fuckswp. These are fundraising activities for an already wealthy group that doesn’t need the money since they get a good chunk of union dues and membership fees of older/less active members. Give your money to the mosque repair funds from the areas impacted or attend your local antifascist fundraiser; they tend to have decent sets and they help fund train tickets to bumblefuck nowhere and a surprising amount of equipment (mostly for unannounced background work)

Cops and politicians are claiming credit for the quick response from local communities, and also the far right having generally really poor organizing practice, calling demonstrations in random locations they have never even seen before and not being present themselves to pull people together.

If you keep an eye on names and faces present at far right demonstrations, usually the same ones pop up all the time. I’m surprised this is the first instanceof the two. Unite the Right and Jan 6 were just the most famous in recent memory. A lot of Jan 6ers have also attacked Drag Queen Story Hours as just another example.

Misogyny and transphobia, as per usual. The build instructions used “he” and bug reports and pull requests have been denied and given edgy responses.

In Europe, its not uncommon for nurses and paramedics to volunteer on weekend nights around cities, primarily to supplement the underfunded and understaffed ambulance service by patrolling with a first aid kit and defibrillator since it gets easy credits towards their degrees. While there is a working relationship with Police, its pretty established in those roles that keeping the cops at a bit of a distance tends to be for the better. If you have the cops about, people tend to lie more and get worse care because of it. They also tend to consent less. I’m not saying incidents don’t happen, but having cops about causes more of then than it prevents.

I wonder if it has the feature of being able to introduce bad public transport options where you can stick a train station in the middle of some busy road lanes on each side, put Parkway on the end of the name and call it a day.

Dating apps have never been my thing but I think this would be a good fediverse project, maybe linked with something like matrix.

They also have literal neo-nazi candidates who support fringe fascist groups like Homeland and the National Front.
