Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said around 10 per cent of 800 live investigations now involve far-right extremists - a 'significant increase' on previous years. 'It's my fastest growing problem,' he told journalists in central London. However he added that Islamist jihadism was 'still by far globally the biggest threat people face'. 'It has stabilised at a very high level of 30 per cent more than two years ago,' Mr Basu said. 'The extreme right wing is starting from a very low base but a 17 per cent rise in hate crime should make us all pause for thought.' Mr Basu said that rising Islamophobic, antisemitic and racist abuse can be seen as a 'proxy' for increasing extremism, and must be tackled to reduce the terror threat." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/terror-attack-plots-uk-far-right-wing-extremism-threat-met-police-neil-basu-a9112046.html #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism "If Right Wing resurgence was 10% reacting to the 30% Would not dealing heavily with 30% reduce scale of the problem?" #PhenomnTerrorismJihadificationJihad #IRLPoliceNeilBasu [Wikipedia] #PowerControlViolencePhysicalDecapitationBeheading #2017_ManchesterArenaBombing #ConspiracyTheory_CabalGroomingGang #IRLPrivateCitizenImtiazMadmood "A woman converting to Islam is like a black person converting to slavery."

Context "As Kirsch has gone deeper into the anti-vaccine scene, many professional associates have increasingly distanced themselves from him. In May, all 12 members of CETF's scientific advisory board resigned, citing his alarming dangerous claims and erratic behavior. Over the summer, the conflict reached his most recent startup, M10. Its board told him that if he wanted to remain part of the company he would have to stop making public anti-vaccine statements. In September, he resigned as CEO and gave up his board seat." https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/10/05/1036408/silicon-valley-millionaire-steve-kirsch-covid-vaccine-misinformation/ #ConspiracyTheory_COVID19VaccineInfertility #OtheringOutGroupAntiVaxxer

@GuadalupeIwane [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : “Otro ejemplo fue la resistencia de los medios alemanes a hablar de las agresiones sexuales ocurridas en las celebraciones de Nochevieja de 2016 por miedo a que los acusaran de estigmatizar a los presuntos culpables.” #Woke [URL redacted]
#NewspaperESBrdshtElPaisFrancoisBonnet https://elpais.com/ideas/2021-08-15/ha-sido-usted-cancelado-el-movimiento-woke-y-su-falta-de-relativismo-moral.html (15 August 2021). Google Translate (Spanish to English): *You have been canceled: the 'woke' movement and its lack of moral relativism* In this new social conscience, ideas that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral. At the beginning of the last decade, young progressives in the West, angered by the consequences of the Great Recession, mobilised to occupy the streets, read Thomas Piketty's theory of economic inequalities at 1,000 pages in length, and demonstrated against the 1% made up of the richest. All that has been forgotten. Young progressives are now woke, that is, they are more socially conscious and more outraged by racial and gender injustices. In colleges, professors have become cautious when tackling sensitive topics, especially if the class is broadcasting on Zoom. And the new social conscience is not just a thing for young people. The latest Hollywood movies have increasingly diverse castings, and men are overshadowed by the starring role of perfect women. The more traditional newspapers have begun to speak of "supreme white". "Nike and even the CIA run ads talking about patriarchy and intersectionality. The word woke (awake, aware) began to be used in the African-American fight against racism, but it has also come to designate progressive politics on gender and trans rights in particular. The horrific videos of unarmed black men being murdered by police officers that began circulating on social media in the mid-2010s notably boosted critical race theory, an intellectual trend that emerged in university law departments. and sociology. In recent years, the right wing has also started to use the word, but with an ironic and pejorative connotation: if someone speaks of wokism (in a pejorative tone) there is no doubt that they are opposed to racial and gender politics. ist. In many ways, this woke wave is reminiscent of the political correctness of the 1990s and its emphasis on controlling language. Today's activists tend to be outraged by any pressure that they find problematic and controversial, at words that, in today's environment, are not only seen as mildly controversial, but have consequences. Contrary to what happens in most currents of the intellectual left, the Woke movement is not relativistic at all; when a person receives the qualification of problematic they run the risk of ending up "canceled", disappeared. This new awareness is a stained phenomenon: ideas or behaviours that do not fall into the category of acceptable are considered radically immoral. But the woke movement has also become an obsession for the right wing, which enjoys being outraged because something or someone has been "canceled". Being against the woke allows conservative media and politicians today to unite for a new cause, but the revolt that each case of cultural cancellation provokes distracts the right and prevents it from making a fundamental political reflection. Another striking aspect of the woke movement is how it prioritises different types of oppression. The new social consciousness includes feminism, but according to "intersectional" principles, feminists must give the first line to transgender rights, as the controversy around J. K. Rowling (the Harry Potter writer starred in a controversy last year by hinting that in order to be a woman she has menstruation). The "Karen" meme - which portrays the stereotype of a white, bourgeois and racist woman - indicates that feminism is also below anti-racism. Another example was the resistance of the German media to talk about the sexual assaults that occurred during the celebrations. New Year's Eve 2016 for fear of being accused of stigmatising the alleged culprits. It is curious that European activists have adopted aspects of the Woke movement that are specific to the United States: for example, the denunciation of the actors against the blackface or the murder of George Floyd became international phenomena. But the fundamental difference between Europe and the US is in the legislation. The laws against discrimination are much stricter in the United States than in Europe. In the US, corporate human resources departments have been offering employees training courses on inclusion and diversity since the 1970s. The future of the Woke movement on both sides of the Atlantic will depend on the ability of activists and their adversaries to take advantage of the current moral outrage to make significant legal changes.
