  “There has been a recent and worrisome effort to frame showing up with guns as an appropriate way to challenge an election result you don’t like.”

• “Parallel Mothers” Confronts the Legacies of Fascism
  31 December 2021, by siawi3

  Political amnesia is an active, ongoing project in which whole societies participate. ’Parallel Mothers’ would seem to suggest that fascist legacies continue, in unpredictable ways, to deform people’s lives over decades and generations—the descendants of the immediate victims, and everyone else as well, down to their private lives, their psyches. It’s an alarming idea.

• Pakistan: Climate of bigotry
  30 December 2021, by siawi3

  Politicians of all shades, including otherwise progressive ones, have used accusations of blasphemy to intimidate rivals — the ultimate trump card in a reactionary society. Extremism has been mainstreamed and normalised.

• France : « Comment Zemmour compte-t-il se débarrasser des musulmans ? » interroge Klarsfled
  31 décembre 2021, par siawi3

  “Les menaces de l’extrême droite ont toujours été tenues quand elle est arrivée au pouvoir…”. ″Éric Zemmour promeut des thèses bestiales. Comme les nazis. À l’entendre, il faudrait se débarrasser des musulmans. Mais les nazis disaient pareil des juifs, sans préciser comment. Et nous avons eu les chambres à gaz… Comment Zemmour compte-t-il se débarrasser des musulmans ?”

• France : Serge Klarsfeld : « Éric Zemmour promeut des thèses bestiales. Comme les nazis »

  Il y a dans le noyau dur de l’AfD, le parti d’extrême droite allemand, une partie favorable à une réhabilitation d’Hitler qui met en avant la réelle lutte anticommuniste et la prétendue défense de la civilisation occidentale menées par le régime nazi. Ils vont parfois jusqu’à reprendre les thèmes de la propagande hitlérienne de l’époque. En France, c’est différent. Ce sont les partisans de Pétain qui n’ont jamais cessé de défendre Vichy.

• USA: Angela Davis Speaks on Abolition, Justice for Palestine and Critical Race Theory
  31 December 2021, by siawi3

  We need to continue the effort to challenge a fascism that, of course, relies on racism in this country and white supremacy as the ways in which it expresses itself.

• UK-USA: Democracy is as Fragile Now as it was During My Father’s Time in Weimar Germany
  2 January, by siawi3

  Britain may resemble Weimar in terms of government incapacity and division, but it is in America that the stench of Weimar has become overwhelming. The great weakness of German democracy in the 1920s was that several political parties, many state institutions and a large portion of the public felt no loyalty to the republic, or believed in its legitimacy, or were prepared to defend it. The comparison has often been made in the past, using the 15 troubled years of the Weimar Republic between 1918 and 1933 as a shorthand to suggest that a democracy is fragile and failing, and at risk of being replaced by authoritarian rule.

  Also in attendance were a number of Hindutva leaders who have in the recent past led protests against other religious communities over various issues. One such leader who attended the march was Narender Singh Pahari, a former RSS and BJP leader. It was a group led by Pahari which had last week alleged religious conversion while disrupting a Christmas eve event at a school in Pataudi.
