"Remigration has become a watchword on the right across the U.S. and Europe in recent years. The idea is simple and noxious: we should not only be curbing foreign immigration but actively working to deport legal residents and naturalized citizens of undesirable origin."

"It was probably in Nietzsche's writings that far right thinking first displayed its now-patented sense of counter-cultural agonism. For Nietzsche, egalitarian, democratic and liberal ideas had become so hegemonic that nostalgia was a waste of time." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-modern-f...
The Modern Far Right Canon
Modern far right thinkers style themselves as an insurgent movement against power, combining a self-pitying victimhood with exaggerated fantasies of rediscovered manliness.

"By initiating a campaign of fear and persecution, authoritarian regimes aim to create the conditions of legal uncertainty needed to suck out the energy of the dissident movement, and keep the public in a state of confusion and nonage." www.liberalcurrents.com/cancel-cultu...
Cancel Culture Goes MAGA
MAGA's campaign of government censorship and repression is an assault on fundamental free speech values.

The long tradition of American abolitionism often rested its argument on the fact that you cannot guarantee that institutions of brutality will never be turned against free men. Similarly, one cannot intensify the attack on non-citizens and expect citizens to come out unscathed.
"This tragedy, this crime, is only to be expected from an administration that has always believed itself entitled to not just govern, but to rule over a free people. An administration that rejects professionalism and has sought to scale up what was already the least professionalized federal agency"

“X must be held accountable. But I now have to ask, why are so many people still there? Why are MPs still posting there? Why are organs of the British government still using a site one of its own ministers just condemned in such clear moral and legal terms? Why are other governments?”
