@ulrichkelber Bei #TeamRisiko habe ich ein ganz mieses Gefühl.
Wenn man sich anschaut, in welchem Ausmaß die bereit waren, Menschenleben zu opfern, damit die Wirtschaft weiter läuft und wie sehr ein Jens Spahn wie eine Motte ums Licht, um die Ideenwelt der US-Republikaner rumschwirrt, fürchte ich, wir müssen deren Handeln im Licht dessen betrachtet, was Naomi Klein zum Beispiel in diesem Artikel darlegt:
Da fallen so Begriffe wie "große Säuberung" ...
Selbstreflexion braucht man aus dieser Richtung sicher am wenigsten zu erwarten.

"An alliance between the far right and Silicon Valley oligarchs has given rise to a form of "end times fascism," says journalist Naomi Klein, who details in a recent essay co-authored with Astra Taylor how many wealthy elites are preparing for the end of the world even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis."

"In its simplest terms, the shock doctrine is just a strategy to advance deeply unpopular — and profitable — ideas. It’s using a moment of crisis to advance policies that benefit elites, but that tend to be opposed by most voters." Naomi Klein
“Only a crisis, real or perceived, produces real change,” and when that crisis occurs, change “depends on the ideas that are lying around.” Milton Friedman

The rise of end times fascism
"To have a hope of combating the end times fascists, with their ever-constricting and asphyxiating concentric circles of “ordered love”, we will need to build an unruly open-hearted movement of the Earth-loving faithful: faithful to this planet, its people, its creatures and to the possibility of a livable future for us all"

Quietly, and relying on the numbness created by their fascist "shock doctrine" so far, the Trump regime has stripped legal protections from and ordered the expulsion of thousands more law abiding people who are effectively refugees, including thousands of folks driven to seek asylum and protected status by US imperial and economic policy; this time targeting asylum seekers from Afghanistan and Cameroon:
https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-ends-tps-afghanistan-cameroon
'Cruel and Dangerous': Trump Ends Protected Status for Afghans and Cameroonians
"President Donald Trump made his promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants a central plank of his 2024 campaign. However, since taking office, he has consistently moved not only to crack down on undocumented immigration but to revoke the status of migrants who are in the country legally. This has included attempting to strip TPS from other nationalities, revoking visas and even green cards from immigrants from certain countries or who voice opinions the administration dislikes, and ordering nearly 1 million people who entered the country using a Biden-administration app to leave "immediately."
Friday's decision would impact more than 14,600 Afghans and 7,900 Cameroonians, who would now have to leave the country by May and June respectively, according toAl Jazeera.
TPS means that immigrants from certain countries undergoing conflict or hardship—who may not qualify for asylum—will not be deported and will be able to work legally in the U.S. until the situation in their home country improves."
As the article notes, it's entirely unclear if the Trump regime will get away with this clearly targeted suppression as part of its mass deportation scheme; a judge did temporarily block a similar order targeting Venezuelans legally living and working in America with TPS status after all. Looking at the types of people the regime is targeting however, puts to lie the government's arguments that they're enacting a mass deportation scheme to "keep us safe" or "remove dangerous criminals" from the US. Furthermore, looking a who they're targeting with orders like this, specifically nonwhite folks who are for all intents and purposes refugees, also exposes their fascist intentions to establish America as a white ethnostate in a way that should be being reported in corporate media, but simply isn't for reasons that range from cowardice, to capitalist greed, and even shared racist sympathies among the ruling class (and their minions) in our society. Quite frankly, the fact that for-profit media outlets are no longer telling Americans that mass deportations are recognized as crimes against humanity by international law, speaks volumes as to why they aren't talking about what the Trump regime's activities clearly represent when taken as a whole; the demographic bleaching of America by force, to create a while ethno-state.
Folks, the regime isn't targeting "dangerous criminals" for expulsion because there aren't enough migrants committing violent crimes to justify their mass deportation agenda and white nationalist schemes. These folks are refugees, coming from situations the US state has already recognized present a real and present danger to their lives. Cameroon is in the middle of a years-long civil war, against a regime executing peaceful protestors, that has already caused over a million people to flee the country. The denial of protected status to Afghans is even more galling because refugees fleeing that country are almost invariably being targeted by a Taliban regime the US just fought a two-decade long war with, or a byproduct of American imperial policy that bombed the country flat during that war. These are "our guys" in so much as there is ever an "our" in US imperial foreign policy situations.
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and keeps doing the same things historically fascist duck regimes have done in human history, it's time to start naming the beast; not just on blogs written by anarchists with a library card, but everywhere in our society. Failure to do so isn't just cowardice, it's collaboration with a fascist regime that is rapidly chugging towards openly genocidal behavior every day, while gleefully admitting that's where they intend to go if only anyone understood what "mass deportations" actually mean. These folks are fascists, they are actively trying to establish an American white entho-state, and they are making no effort whatsoever to hide their activities or intentions.

@naomiklein I didn't expect the US to turn its shock doctrine on its own stock market, but here we are
> advisers close to the president say the tariffs were not designed around careful economic calculations, but shock value. “The president isn’t a number-crunching guy..."
Yes!
We musssst pay attention to patterns in history.
Once upon a time, Jack Layton died and the party took the moment to bring in Mulcair, someone (even?) less progressive, certainly not radical.
Now the Liberals bring in someone even Harper wanted in his government.
Ross Gentleman also shared his concerns around BC's Bill 7:

in 2007 Naomi Klein wrote about #DisasterCapitalism in her book #ShockDoctrine - a strategy of destroying everything then picking through the rubble for opportunities
in this post, #JoanWestenberg writes about the strategies being used to dismantle veteran benefits… and what will emerge from the rubble

Il est encore question de la #shockdoctrine et du Chili ce soir, les Chiliens savent mieux que personne ce que le #carbofascisme (qui s'impose brutalement ces dernières semaines dans le monde, avec les USA comme épicentre) doit à la façon dont Augusto Pinochet a imposé à coup de génocide, de meurtres et de détention de masse, de torture et d'enlèvement d'enfants, l'idéologie capitaliste néolibérale. Ils savent aussi qu'on ne peut pas s'en débarrasser d'un coup surtout. mais que la lutte finit toujours par payer. Voilà le message de la franco-chiilienne Ana Tijoux #playlistantifasciste #musicmastodon #mastomusic https://youtu.be/177-s44MSVQ?si=5lpM8Xz2kK9KNGfb
💾 Look, I get the barrage of self-sabotaging policies from #Trump & #Musk has been overwhelming, but please don't dismiss them as "stupid".
They've been cooking them for years. Crisis IS the point; it's what they're intentionally engineering, so that then they can enact a state of emergency and claim even more power.
It's the #ShockDoctrine:
Somehow I missed the fact that #Elon has been specifically planning on crashing the economy.

That is bananas. A demagogue can certainly take advantage of a crisis for their own benefit, but I don't think that works if they cartoonishly cackle in public while they cause it.
I am getting a lot of love from American liberals on Bluesky!
It is lovely to see how upset they are to feel the "Shock Doctrine" that been the US foreign policy in the past 70 years implemented at home.

"[#NaomiKlein's #ShockDoctrine] as the concept applies here, the idea is that those in #authority, regardless of political affiliation, exploit times of #crisis to take on increased powers and authority while citizens are distracted and overwhelmed. They often do this under the guise of the need for emergency powers. These powers are rarely, if ever, rescinded."
