@JohannaHannegan [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : New Italian leader Georgia Melonis fiery diatribe against the #Woke must wake up everyone who’s identity has been supressed for centuries. [URL redacted] [URL redacted]
#OrgClassifPPITFratelliDItaliaFDLGiorgiaMeloni [Wikipedia] "While Reagan had declared victory more than three decades ago, Meloni has heralded a pushback if not an open revolt against the same forces which have now reincarnated grotesquely. It is also a declaration of war against an invisible internationalist regime, which in her words wants all of us 'to simply be perfect consumer slaves.' Her viral speech is a powerful and compelling reformulation of the widespread condemnation of the anti-woke discourse, which has gained strength in recent years." https://thedharmadispatch.substack.com/p/giorgia-melonis-triumph-is-a-wake #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSRonaldReagan #TheoryGlobalisation #PoliticsCapitalismConsumerism
"...they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can't define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother, no! I must be citizen X, gender X, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators." #IdentityConservativeChristian #CatchcryDiosPatriaYReyGodFatherlandKing [Wikipedia] #NarrativeUtopiaHomeland #BrandSagePublicationsEncyclopediaOfMotherhoodAndreaOReilly "The image of the prolific, chaste, and virtuous 'national mother' is a strikingly common symbol across nations. Traditional, patriarchal images of women as mothers are central to the nationalist project of myth making and its actual biological continuity into the future. Pure and virtuous mothers are believed and expected to reproduce the nation in body (children and future nationals) and mind (preservation of past traditions, food and ritual, and language). Heterosexual women and mothers symbolize and are expected to preserve the nation's past, present, and future. The political man is constructed as rational, objective, and devoid of emotion in peace time, and defenders of the nation in war. In contrast, women are pictured as virtuous reproducers of the nation, stereotypically innocent victims, needing protection from men. The differential treatment of men and women 'of the nation' is believed to be necessary to ensure and secure the group's survival. The nation's future is believed to hinge upon the chastity of its women--jealously guarded or protected from the ravaging hands of the Other." [academic source] #PhenomnRoleFamilyMother

As a youth activist in the post-Fascist Italian Social Movement, she and her fellowship of militants, with nicknames like Frodo and Hobbit, revered 'The Lord of the Rings' and other works by the British writer J.R.R. Tolkien. They visited schools in character. They gathered at the 'sounding of the horn of Boromir' for cultural chats.

They can be heard chanting 'Jesus Saves' in the rain while members of the public walk past. 'Activists from the 'King's Army' block traffic in Soho in protest of the immoral culture in the 'sex district',' the caption by Turning Point UK reads. It is not clear if Turning Point UK were involved in the stunt. However, the clip they posted on Twitter/X has gathered over 980,000 views, with many social media users assuming that they were behind it. However, the groups appear to be separate entities.

While it's possible that such an ad appeared in the Sears catalog at sometime in the 1960s, the only published version we've been able to uncover came from a 1966 issue of Boys' Life magazine, the monthly publication for members of the Boy Scouts of America" [fact-checked]

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

#BrandTheDailyWirePolemicistBenShapiro "The Texas shooter violated a multiplicity of gun laws. The suggestion that more gun laws would have prevented this act of unspeakable evil is unsupported, and the implication that those who oppose such laws are somehow in favor of mass shootings is morally reprehensible." #MassShooting2022RobbElementarySchool #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople ?
Addendum easy to make such statements - more difficult to substantiate them. I wonder then, what are the supposed 'violated gun laws' (listing them off)? And what impact did the existing laws actually have i.e. how did they hindered/fail to hinder the shooter? And rather than fatalistically dismissing the whole idea of regulating gun ownership - what laws would actually work i.e. what is a constructive way forward?
