When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

Someone near me has put up a Scottish saltaire 🏴, a Welsh dragon 🏴 and an Irish tri-colour 🇮🇪 and I don't know if they're to be applauded or if they're British nationalists too stupid to know that they've put up the flag of the Republic of Ireland.

Hi @englandfootball.bsky.social I don't know if you realise but some of the flag-hanging racists who do D understand the difference between a national flag and a football organisation's symbol have been using flags with your badge on to intimidate people of other races, nationalities etc. 1/

Remember in the '80s there were people who would scrawl "N@zi scum" on anything racist or facist in public? Where are they now?

Let me just put this out there. One good way of countering the nationalist's English and Union Flags everywhere would be to put pride flags in underneath all of them. It would be just as silly, potentially dangerous and possibly considered flyposting/littering, but it would piss them off immensely.

Why is anyone surprised that a man that couldn't offer peace meeting with a man who doesn't want peace, didn't result in peace? When will we stop going along with all of the performative bullshit? #ukraine

How do I tell the Bluesky algorithm that I'm not Scottish and I'm definitely not a nationalist? Getting sick of being fed SNP supporting junk.

How do I stop the Bluesky algorithm from thinking I'm some kind of Scottish nationalist? I'm not even Scottish!

I don't know why people are asking for a security garuntee for Ukraine from the US. It won't be worth the crayon it's written with.

I'm confused. Has everyone, including the media forgotten that the USA isn't at war with Russia? That peace talks between two nations that aren't at war are a waste of everyone's time? #SlavaUkrayini

A really fascinating article - for anyone interested in how misinformation and politics are related. Spoiler alert! “Misinformation and radical-right populism must hence be understood as inextricable and synergistic—two expressions of the same political moment.”
Important research investigating politics and misinformation: used 32M tweets from politicians in 26 countries, spanning 6 years and several election periods. Radical-right populism was the STRONGEST determinant of those who spread misinformation.

Hey fellow Brits and Europeans. Now is the time to show our support for our Canadian 🇨🇦 friends and family. Boycott as much American stuff as possible, and our governments need to show their support for Canada urgently.

So trump wants to "clean out" Gaza. Remember in to '90s when the Serbs were doing that to Bosnians and Croats and we referred to it as "ethnic cleansing"?
For all that is holy, can we please stop talking about this stuff as if it's normal and point out how monstrous it actually is.

OK, so quite new to Bluesky. Is there a way to get the algorithm to give me a bit more variety? It seems very stuck with the subjects I suggested at signup. So much so that I can't find "other stuff" to let you ke and follow.

If JFK Jr somehow stopped the USA's vaccination programs, would other countries have to quarantine America? Would that be a thing, at least eventually?
