‘The far right drummed up a militia’: French extremists seize on teen’s murder to stoke violence
It all started with the tragic death of a teenage boy attending a village dance in southern France. Although the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, members of France’s ultra-right immediately blamed it on “anti-French” sentiment, descending on the region en masse to avenge his death.

11) Excellent piece from Fintan O’Toole on the #DublinRiots.
FOT rightly insists on complexity, reminds us #Irish of some other ugly #FarRight #DublinRiot history and does not mince words in calling those who stoked the violence what they truly are: #Fascist
#Fascists are “malignant narcissists” who will exploit any opportunity to further their cancerous goals. Marxists or migrants are simply grist for their mill, a quest for recognition and relevance
Once again I'm terribly ashamed of being a Finn.
There has been several these kind of days after the election in April, and the new #FarRight #Conservative government of ours.
A racist #government, that is fomenting fear and hysteria over couple of dozens of migrants and #AsylumSeekers in our Eastern border.
And yes, I do hate #Putin and all of his actions, including this usage of people as pawns.

This is beyond #ethnoNationalism.
Officially, the Constitution of India declares it as a "secular" republic, but over last several years, there has been a shift.
There is now a strong #FarRight #Hindutva movement (not #Hinduism, or #Hindu religion) that is dragging India away from that ideal into #religiousNationalism.
That does not bode well for #Muslims in India.
What I'm alarmed about is the prospect of #RightWing #Jewish, #Hindu, and #Christian #fascists in #lockstep.

The European Network's Brian Milne describes how last week's riots in Dublin are not an isolated incident.
Right wing and hardcore nationalist groups are receiving support from organisations that claim to be respectable patriotic bodies. One such organisation in Ireland is Gript Media who claim their purpose is to report the news then comment on it in a manner they claim is honest, frank and open.
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious @TheNational
This is not the first time this has happened. It became a small circulation #FarRight publication in the early 1970s. Then the owner changed and it moved back towards the respectable #centreright - where it stayed for quite a while!

I think we talking about gradations of takeover. In governments based on PR like the #Netherlands, it’s difficult to achieve an absolute takeover.
#Wilders will have to compromise to get support to form a government. He will try to concentrate power but hopefully be tempered by his partners in government. With luck after a few years people will tire of his failures and opt for something that works, rather than empty #FarRight promises
9) Last week was not a good one for democracy in #Argentina with the election of #JavierMilei, another #FarRight tin-pot

1/ There are many Palestinians who're in favour of a one state solution, as long as everyone has an equal vote, because they outnumber #Jews & have a far younger population.
One state or two state, personally I just want peace, but I believe because of religion & a deep seated hatred of each other, any solution looks further away than ever, which suits both #Netanyahu & his #FarRight cohorts & #Hamas.
I looked into previous peace proposals & the points of...
@DavidBruchmann @OeconomicusRatio
Migration has to be a European issue. If there's freedom of movement, the countries on the perimeter will be the first destination for #AsylumSeekers.
This gives countries like the #UK the excuse to refuse entry to migrants based on the premise that they've already passed through several safe countries to get here.
Unless Europe tackles this as a Union & creates a solid, workable & achievable plan, it'll leave the gate wide open for the #FarRight to step in.
@DavidBruchmann @OeconomicusRatio
This is my fear David. #Trump threatened to pull the #US out of #NATO if he won.
The #UK leveled economic sanctions against itself with #Brexit, & both happened because we had weak & unhinged populist #FarRight leaders at the helm who acted in their own self interests.
The only reason Le Pen pulled back from her threat of leaving the #EU if she won, is because she saw the state of the UK! #GeertWilders has done the same too.
The UK's a total, utter mess! 🙄
@OeconomicusRatio @DavidBruchmann
The breakup of the #EU is EXACTLY what the #FarRight & #Putin want.
If the #German government keep pushing these unhinged policies, they're handing power to #AfD.
With the #UK having left the #EU, if either #France or #Germany leave too, the EU project is finished.

To destabilise the West by encouraging the #FarRight to rise up in social discord.
It's worked in Italy & the Netherlands recently. I truly despair...
Orban is another. He supports #Putin #Trump #Meloni #Wilders #Weidel & others.
The #FarRight are creating connections which makes them stronger. In comparison, what do the Centre & Left have as a coordinated alternative?
Just like #Brexit, I can't see a coordinated alternative, all I can see is complacency & it makes me truly despair my friend...
No. The #Israelis have admitted that helping to create #Hamas & funding them to weaken the powerful PLO was their biggest mistake ever.
In trying to marginalise the PLO to stop talks on a two state solution, they created the monster that is Hamas. Actions have consequences.
As people March in support of #Palestine, the #FarRight protest against Islam. #Russia loves the distraction this is causing from #Ukraine whilst #Netanyahu's far right government commits genocide.
Every war ends with peace talks & a plan. If you're a party of government, you have to govern for all & that unfortunately includes the radical #FarRight.
I despise them, but they can't be excluded from the conversation & solution. This is the only way we can deradicalise them, as anything else will only push them into the shadows. We'd be crazy to think they'll just go away.
Unless we face these issues head on, they'll become bigger issues further down the line.
4/ However, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, & many of those the West deems as terrorists see themselves as defenders of their holy lands.
In the absence of opportunity, it's easy for radicalism to offer hope & to take hold, & ultimately the West's security has suffered.
This is a complex, complicated mess & before the #FarRight capitalise & their radical message takes hold, the West needs to wake up, control the narrative & create a workable & fair plan.
The Dutch conservative VVD party announced on Friday morning that it will not enter into the next Cabinet. The party did say it would be willing to tacitly support a center-right Cabinet. The decision could make it particularly difficult for the far-right PVV, which outperformed all other parties in this week’s election, to form a new coalition government with a majority of support in either house of Parliament.

1/ There needs to be a workable plan. We can't allow the #FarRight to control the #Migration narrative like they did with #Brexit.
Firstly we need to show the true figures & setup safe routes & quick processing of migrants to be sorted into #AsylumSeekers & economic migrants.
At the same time Europe needs to look at the damage caused by it's colonial past & figure out ways to repair it so those looking for a better life, have a better & safer life where they are.
2/ No one gave #Trump or #Brexit a chance of winning & #Putin supported & reputedly funded & interfered in the election of both. Our underestimation cost the #US & #UK dearly.
The Pro-EU campaign were disorganised because no one seriously thought we'd vote to leave the EU, yet here we are outside it.
I sense the same level of complacency over the rise of #Europe's #FarRight because of #Migration, as I did with Brexit & Trump.
It can't just be me who's this concerned. 🤷🏾♂️
4) My #Dublin hometown is in the news due to rioting triggered by a knife attack on school children.
Little is known about about the motives or identity of the attacker at this point. It seems #FarRight types concluded the perpetrator is a #migrant
in response to this insane attack, #HardRight types fomented a riot, organized through #SocialMedia and messaging apps. Fortunately nobody appears to have died but the breakdown in civil order is sobering
https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/chaos-in-dublin-6231438-Nov2023/
1/ Just like #Brexit, the #FarRight seemingly have a unified message & have connections throughout Europe. Many have links to Putin & investigations show #Russian based funding.
A fractured #NATO without the #US under #Trump, & a crumbling #EU is EXACTLY what #Putin wants as he tries to rebuild the #USSR.
Putin's #Ukraine plan faltered when Trump lost, but the COVID pandemic gave him an unexpected chance. He just didn't bargain for the Western response he got.

#FarRight Dutch politician Geert Wilders is a Trump wannabe.
"PVV swears by #FossilFuels ".
The party platform includes:
– Keep on burning fossil gas
– No heat pump requirement
– Nitrogen emissions can stay high
– NL pulls out of Paris Agreement
– No money for global climate fund
– Stop renewable energy construction
Oh, and "Nexit": Dutch exit from the EU.

The #FarRight and #FossilFuels
"Donald Trump is planning to gut US President Joe Biden’s landmark #climate law, increase investment in #FossilFuels and roll back regulations aimed at accelerating the transition to electric vehicles if he is elected next year.
Senior campaign officials and advisers to the former president said he would seek to radically overhaul US climate and energy policy to “maximise #FossilFuel production” during a second term."

Scientists *must* understand that fanatical zealots among industrial and political powers actually want to *hasten* the "end times" — apocalyptic accelerationist doctrine, as @Wolven puts it (https://ourislandgeorgia.net/@Wolven/111307805336499187). Christian Zionism is another such example of apocalyptic accelerationism.
So we MUST stop thinking climate alarms and emergencies actually deter them or would encourage them into action.
It's the opposite: bad news actually *emboldens* them and tells them their strategies are working. They probably think it's easier to go to heaven by ending the world than it is to actually save it from their own capitalist bullshit.
Instead, we *must* stop "negotiating" with them or "informing" them of facts and figures, and instead start mobilising. Climate revolution (cc: @breadandcircuses — https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/111404149753146020) is the way forward:
Stockpiling, prep, and mobilisation for months of worldwide strikes, refusal to pay bills, and not buying anything. As a radical pacifist who is also an eco-socialist, this highly appeals to me.
Scientists must revolt instead when big journalism, big oil, and other such industries are stacked against us.

The march ended with speeches. This #Palestinian speaker held the keys of his grand-mother’s house, from which she was displaced in the first #nakba in #1948. Keys have become a symbol to the #diaspora of #ExistResistReturn and the hope for a #FreePalestine.
