Context #TheoryDeclinism #_Focal
Supplementary the passage includes the conflation of #PoliticsFascismNazi and #PoliticsSocialism #MagazineUSPacificStandardNoahBerlatsky "the conflation of alt-right Nazis with a supposed 'alt-left' gives people like President Donald Trump and former Breitbart Chairman Steve Bannon rhetorical cover to slime their critics as the 'real fascists.' Perhaps even worse, claiming that the left is especially prone to fascist tendencies allows folks on other parts of the political spectrum to ignore their own complicity when actual fascism crawls out of the mud. The main argument for Horseshoe Theory is that both the far left and the far right are opposed to the centrist, neoliberal/capitalist status quo. Communists and fascists in the 1930s criticized the aging imperial democracies of Britain, France, and the United States as weak, corrupt, and--post-Great Depression--as hurtling toward a final collapse. More recently, the argument goes, left-wing radicals opposed centrist Hillary Clinton and France's Emmanuel Macron. By doing so, they offered de facto (and sometimes more than de facto) aid to racist, nationalist opponents like Trump and Marine Le Pen. We are told that left and right both want to destroy democratic norms and the sensible center. Therefore, Horseshoe Theory says, they work together. ... the anti-left rhetoric around political correctness--in which student left protesters with minimal power are presented as the 'real' totalitarians--is widely popular among figures as diverse as Angela Nagle, Jonah Goldberg, Chait, David Frum, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Trump himself. When you demonize leftists, it's the fascists who benefit--and there are a lot of people in American politics, of every political stripe, who like to demonize leftists." https://psmag.com/social-justice/an-end-to-horseshoe-theory #TheoryHorseshoe #IRLPhilosopherJeanPierreFaye #1939_MolotovRibbentropPact #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #IRLPoliticalStrategistSteveBannon #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyHillaryClinton #OrgClassifPPFRRenaissanceREEmmanuelMacron #PoliticsCentrism #PoliticsCommunism #PoliticsFascism #TauntLeftThe #IRLAuthorAngelaNagle #IRLActivistChelseaManning #IRLCommentatorJonathanChait #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesRossDouthat #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyJoeManchin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPLisaMurkowski #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPJeffSessions #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPaulRyan #OrgUSFedFBI #TheoryMarxism i.e. #OtheringHateAntisemiticCanardJudeoBolshevism #PoliticsFascismNaziPartyAdolfHitler #PoliticallyCorrectPC #IRLJournalistJonahGoldberg #IRLCommentatorDavidFrum #IRLIdeologueMiloYiannopoulosAKAMiloAndreasWagner #TheoryFishHook #NewspaperUSTabloidNewYorkPostSalenaZito #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyDickDurbin #MagazineUSJacobinConnorKilpatrick http://v2.jacobinmag.com/author/connor-kilpatrick #OrgClassifPPFRRassemblementNationalRNMarineLePen #MagazineUSGrist: https://grist.org/climate/grist-acquisition-pacific-standard/

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianJasonWilson "A rightwing non-profit group that has published a 'DEI Watch List' identifying federal employees allegedly 'driving radical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives' is bankrolled by wealthy family foundations and rightwing groups whose origins are often cloaked in a web of financial arrangements that obscure the original donors. One recent list created by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) includes the names of mostly Black people with roles in government health alleged to have some ties to diversity initiatives. Another targets education department employees, and another calls out the 'most subversive immigration bureaucrats'." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/09/american-accountability-foundation-project-2025 #AdvocacyUSAmericanAccountabilityFoundationAAF [Wikipedia] #TauntLeftRadical
#IRLActorMarkRuffalo "Elon Musk wants his Empire on Mars. The reason he wants to shut down USAid is that he wants tax payer money to fund and build his empire there. I know that sounds insane, and it is. The one thing Elon pressed upon me when I first met him was that he was going to go to Mars and set up a civilization there. He stopped being a humanitarian and 'good guy' when he realized there was no way to get there without cleaning out government coffers, and there was no way to do that without stopping humanitarian aid here in the USA and abroad. Keep your eye on the ball. When Elon slashes costs, it's for his own pocket and no one else's. It's stealing, is what it is. He sees those trillions as his. Not ours. He thinks he is 'saving humanity' by going to Mars. He is clearly ending humanity and humanitarian aid to get there. We are Elon's stepping stone. Be aware. He is already rich off government contracts. Now he is gaming the system. Trump has become his lapdog. Watch all the things Trump gives Elon now. Elon has seized him" (3 February 2025).
