Der grönländische Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen hat in seiner Pressekonferenz übrigens gesagt, dass er keine Informationen über den "Deal von Trump/Rutte hat. Medien, die diesen "Deal" in Beiträgen nicht kritisch und mit Grönländischem Input einordnen, reproduzieren imperiale und koloniale Gewalt.
Die Sprache und die Tat der Kollektivbestrafung ist keine neue Eskalationsstufe. Sie ist gängige Praxis von Staaten, wenn es um nicht-weißes Leben geht. Wer erstmals hier Empörung spürt und verbalisiert, weil es um weiße Bürger geht, sagt viel über sich und wenig über historische Kontinuitäten.
Kristian Kiehling@kristiankiehling.bsky.social · 7mo agoOn 8 January, Kristie Noem chose the slogan 'One of ours, all of yours'. This slogan references the fascist sentiment of collective reprisal for the killing of a regime member. A well-known example of Nazi collective punishment was the SS massacre in the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane in 1944.

"Heute" schreibt über das Opfer des mutmaßlichen Femizids, sie "genoss einen ungezwungenen Lifestyle". Normalerweise bin ich zurückhaltender, aber: Kennen die echt keinen Anstand?! Drunter geifern Typen, dass "sie der Lifestyle jetzt einholt". Die Frau ist einfach gerne gereist, ihr W!

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Jonathan M. Katz@katz.theracket.news · 10mo agoNot a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
This is both fascinating & frightening. There is a demand for images that show and confirm what people already know and believe to be true, and AI slop meets that demand—with visual content that emblematically visualizes what the headlines report. One could call it synthetic hypervisualization 1/

Tradwife culture is not just aiming to restore “traditional” gender roles, according to researchers of extremism. It is also a force in formulating a new model of womanhood: one that incorporates strong religious identity, a specific feminine aesthetic, and far-right ideas.
Sourdough and submission in the name of God: How tradwife content fuses femininity with anti-feminist ideas
Tradwives influencers’ throw-back aesthetics mask a divisive ideology about women’s roles, two scholars of extremism explain.

Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH@gavinyamey.bsky.social · 11mo agoMedical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”
I think this argument (see picture) by Jamelle Bouie, and the points that followed from David French, are exactly right. The right has gotten the idea that politicians and elites control American culture in a very top-down way. This is mostly, as Bouie says, "a bit of projection"...
![When Vance talked about going after NGOs earlier in the year, Elon Musk had similar words: We defunded or we destroyed U.S.A.I.D. We’ve done a blow to the left. What they believe is that liberal politics, liberalism, social justice politics — all these beliefs — are top-down phenomena of elites that they don’t like. So if you get rid of them, if you go after George Soros, if you go after the Ford Foundation, if you go after U.S.A.I.D., if you go after television comedians, then people will stop believing this stuff. You will then secure your victory because none of this is real. It’s all just top-down.
I happen to think this is a bit of projection about the nature of their political movement — that it is quite top-down. It is funded by, you know, secretive billionaires who can allow someone like Charlie Kirk to work out the kind of performance they’re doing without really having to worry about earning money in any way. There’s this huge infrastructure of money and influence on the political right that does what I think they imagine happens on the political left. And I think the weak point in this strategy is simply that the stuff they hate flows organically up from the bottom. The reason George Floyd became a cause for millions of Americans isn’t because a bunch of liberal elites in television studios were telling people, “You have to care about George Floyd.”
This was an organic reaction of society to something that many people felt was wrong. Their feelings that it was wrong, in turn, are a product of organic changes in society. It’s a product of integration among people. It’s a product of scholars and historians doing their own work, slowly changing our understanding of what American history is. It’s just a product of civil society and democratic life happening spontaneously.
That’s not something you can control from the top down. Successful authoritarians know this.
