"Det prinsipielle problemet ser ut til å være at KrFU har en grunnleggende misforståelse for menneskerettigheter og lovgivning. De vet tilsynelatende ikke hva menneskerettigheter er, hvordan de opererer, hvordan de ivaretas eller hvem som har ansvaret for det." www.fvn.no/mening/debat...

Dette burde vi holde oss for gode for

KrFU vil vrake hatytringsloven, i tilfelle den skader ytringsfriheten. De begrunner dette med utenlandske skrekkeksempler, og samtidig ignorerer de samtiden til nordmenn som Warsame Fawzi, Sumaya Ali,...

It’s a real dilemma. It’s why I hesitated for a long time after deradicalizing to begin being public with my story, and I’m constantly struggling to drag the conversation away from “wow so admirable” territory and into “how do we stop fascism” territory.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

Two state elections in Germany today, guess which one will be written up as representative of Germany/Europe and which one will be portrayed as unique to that specific state?

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

Hvis vi skal bevare fri ytring og dialog i et demokratisk samfunn, må vi begynne å oppføre oss som voksne, og slutte å slippe til, legitimere og frifinne folk som i beste fall ikke bryr seg om demokratiet, fakta eller underliggende sannhet. evanramseymclaren.substack.com/p/et-svar-ti...

Et svar til Mari Skurdal re: Hans Rustad

Det er kjipt å utsette noen man aldri har møtt for sterk kritikk på sosiale medier, men Mari Skurdals innlegg i Klassekampen er så oppsiktsvekkende at det må kommenteres.

Ytre høyres strategi er å 1) alltid fremstille det som et grovt overtramp mot liberale prinsipper dersom det stilles krav til dem som til alle andre, og 2) fremstille seg selv som et passivt produkt av hva *andre* gjør, som om de ikke har egen fri vilje. Sørgelig mange går fem på, hver eneste gang.

Eksklusjon av Rustad?

Document.no-redaktør Hans Rustad kaller statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre en forræder og en ny quisling og mener han vil bli innhentet av historiens dom....

NEW: @talkingpointsmemo.com can reveal GOP nominee for Florida legislature: -marched at deadly Charlottesville Nazi rally w/ white supremacist group's flag -has *many* white supremacist donors -appears to advocate lynching He is expected to win Nov. election talkingpointsmemo.com/news/florida...

My central contention here is: we've been appeasing "legitimate concerns" for as long as I've been able to form memories and looking at the results I think it's possibly time to declare that experiment a failure and stop giving them what they want.

Just saw a "if you don't agree with doing the racisms against barbershops you're handing the country to the far right" post. Yes, siding with the racists & indulging their racisms will definitely not make them demand even further racisms. Cos we never see that happening. Ever
