The Palmer Raids: Red Scare History

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oehoQ-D_mEc

The Palmer Raids: A dark chapter of American history that serves as a warning. In 1919-1920, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer launched sweeping arrests of leftists, immigrants, and activists, using fear of communism to justify mass detentions, deportations, and the suppression of dissent…

@Sheril it’s already too late. The #maga #fascists, in their #fearmongering of intellectuals, have relinquished the scientific achievement forefront to #china

China has come full circle since it’s #culturalRevolution 60 years ago, and watch in glee as ours begins.

@RealJournalism #fascism: define a nebulous group or institution, dehumanize and stoke with #fearmongering. No falsehood is perceived as ridiculous by a #truebeliever. Fears become hate. They have a “them” to hate, and bind “us” tightly together.

Cisgender woman says her gender was questioned in a Boston hotel restroom. [Blame Conservative fear-mongering.]

Funny and accurate!

How the Daily Mail radicalizes Brits...

...oh boy! the classic #fearmongering of the "if we all" argument...used to hyperinflate any fragile truth-weak statement by exaggerating conflated scenarios.

"well if we all just ate leafs we'd be healthier and global warming will reverse!"

the need to eat is clearly not the problem. endless need 2hoard it all even if it goes to waste in storage and the cruel power trip of forcing others to beg pled and depend on only the hoarder to life that links all issues together. #scapgoating #cowards

Im übrigen passiert in der #BRD gerade das was in den #US seit 2016 passiert. Die christlich-konservativen (#CDU und #CSU) verschieben den Diskurs, getrieben von unserem Ableger der Tea Party Spinner (#AfD), immer weiter nach rechts, während sie ständig Treffen mit den think tanks gesponsored von Oligarchen (#HeritageFoundation) veranstalten.

Die #Neoliberalen in der angeblichen "MItte" zeigen aber lieber mit Finger und Hähme auf alles was "links" oder "woke" ist, während man gleichzeitig #Waffen und Geld an #Genozid liefert. Kritik daran wiegelt man als #Antisemitismus ab. Dazu noch #FearMongering und Schuldzuweisungen aka draufhauen auf die Migranten und Sozialhilfeempfänger.

Denn die neoliberale Schweinebande argumentiert lieber mit #Wirtschaft und verhindert jegliche Einschränkung des #Kapitalismus denn die Nebeneinnahmen sind einfach zu lukrativ.

Währendessen jubelt das Volk, dass man es der "Elite" so richtig zeigt, während die führenden Köpfe der "Protestpartei" allesamt wirtschafltich nicht anders denken als die #FDP und eben aus dieser Elite kommt.

Und wohin das alles führt, kann man in Amerika PERFEKT beobachten. Der Pöbel klastcht begeistert beim Zerschneiden der letzten sozialen Netze, denn es ist so unendlich geil endlich mal jemanden für ganzen Kränkungen des #Spätkapitalismus verletzen zu können.
Völlig egal, dass ihr dann morgen auch alle dran seid, weil #Merz #Linnemann #Gauland #Wedel und wie die Schweine alle heißen euch genauso verachten wie jede Lesbe, jeden "südländisch Aussehenden" etc.pp.

Ich sag es immer wieder. Man könnte kopfschüttelnd und lachend daneben stehen, wenn das Elend das kommen wird, nicht so unfassbar und unvorstellbar grausam werden wird.

Aber fickt euch! Hauptsache die Autobahn führt direkt vors Haus und in der Innenstadt sind Parkplätze aber keine Obdachlosen.

Drecksland! Verschissenes Drecksland.

Another sign of how unbalanced we are:

That said, “immigrants” were the “easy start” this time around. The over-educated liberal/progressives are down the list a bit, but still an easy target.

In #Deutschland wird es Zeit, sich zu fragen, wie wir verhindern, dem Verbreiten von #Angst und #Zweifel ( #fearmongering / #fud ) zu erliegen.

#Merz und die #CDU mit ihrem gescheiterten #Ziel, die #AfD zu halbieren, gezeigt wie es nicht geht.
Wir sehen auch, daß - von wem auch immer imitierte - Mord- und Terroranschläge, die Stimmung nach #rechts ausschlagen lassen.

Wir brauchen 'nur' 3,5% Menschen, die verstehen, wie Angst wirkt und die aufstehen und stehen bleiben!

maybe its #fearmongering

but just keep in mind this #woman could be right

the #pressconference might have been one big show

to show the world how bad #zelenskyy is, that he does not want #peace and does not want a #deal

#pressconference #fallout: what might be also right, that #mankind will die not because of #climatechange but lack of #socialskills X-D

will #Trump abandon #Ukraine (and #democracy)?

pull out of #NATO and let #Europe and #Russia fight to the death = #worldwar3?

it is basically the #ww2 business concept all over again: #USA will sell a lot of #weapons like this = boost their #economy (based on #blood of others)

it has happened before https://infosec.exchange/@Linknation/113993003325624191

and when #Russia wins they support #Europe and when #Europe wins they support #Russia X-D

"hurray" "congratulations all involved"

@sarahbeck similar to my running definition:

#fascism: define a nebulous group or institution, dehumanize and stoke with #fearmongering. No falsehood is perceived as ridiculous by a #truebeliever. Fears become hate. They have a “them” to hate, and bind “us” tightly together.

They: Climate mitigation mustn't impair social justice.

Me: So you want climate justice?

They: No, that would impair capitalism. We want capitalism to keep impairing social justice.

Me: So you're just fearmongering to distract from your cruelties?

They: Of course. That's what we always do.

Along those lines, you might like my 9/11-related story, "Packaged Terror." It's a true story I waited to 2015 to write, and it's now been another decade since that, but it seems newly relevant of late. And I also hope you'll find it oddly entertaining, even as the message is deadly serious.
