you can be glad a child sex offender is dead and also feel discomfort that this disgusting prison system gets to decide who it extends protection to and who it doesn't

So: 1. Bray gets fascist death threats 2. He leaves the country. 3. The administration uses this to claim that the leaders of the “antifa terrorist network” or whatever are fleeing the country so they’re not arrested

100% but also some Home Counties upper middle class tories. So the distinction between “the economy” (abstract) and welfare/housing (very immediate) is an important one.

John Eden @johnedenuk.bsky.social · 13d

It could mean having two holidays instead of four, or a marginal decline in income from your buy to let properties… my guess is that there are benefit claimants etc who fall for the Reform schtick though.

John Eden @johnedenuk.bsky.social · 13d

Well economy is #2. It would be good to know more about that. But yes obviously the far right hate benefit claimants and the poor nearly as much as they hate Muslims.

Torch Antifa Network @torchantifa.bsky.social · 18d

Today's statement about "Fighting Back Against Antifa Violence" from the DHS contains a false conspiracy theory about our member crew Rose City Antifa.

RCA has not doxed any ICE agents, a fact confirmed by going to the URL DHS conveniently censored from their photo.

RCA did not put up this flyer.

Screenshot of a DHS report with the following text, followed by a censored photo of a flyer soliciting tips about ICE agents with Rose City Antifa's email listed.
"Rose City Antifa also illegally doxed ICE officers, publishing their private information and home address online and on public flyers. Individuals associated with Antifa also sent death threats to ICE agents and DHS personnel."

Happy Hour at Hippel's @sanktmaxtci.bsky.social · 29d

We need to understand the libidinal composition of anglofascism. It's a carnival, it's pints and packet on a Saturday. It's the feeling the cruelty might finally be worth it, because you get your share, laundered through the images of owned lib, sad migrant, and the cheeky, horny, deporter in chief.
