International Fixed Calendar (but beginning the week on Monday) ftw

My ass read this as mpreg for a second

that happens mainly when the US coups.

if government workers are far-right, then it’s best to dismiss them and help them find another normal job. Another worker then can be hired.

Generally, a government worker should be expected to do as the law says, insofar the law is not repressive for the community. When the law favours the far-right and reactionaries, then it is not reasonable, and it is duty to rise up.

When the law favours neutrality, that is, not bribed in favour for fascism, then it is reasonable.

No action to protest facism is illegal!

Not all are. If you are clergy, often Ultra-Orthodox, you get exempted.

And?

She could always reject as a conscientious objector. Fuck genocide!

I prefer to overestimate a buffoon one time too much than to be overran by a buffoon through underestimation.

It is a tactic, when the other doesn’t know when you’re being serious about your threats, you don’t know when to actually defend.

Best not to underestimate him.

Good move; but Brazil should protect itself too, and combat a possible US-backed coup d’état.

No flags for fascists!

finally some good fuckin’ news

Good.

Blocking whatsapp +1

Having a state messaging app -1

Oh, they plenty do. They just call it school shootings, or “poor cops being harassed by mobs” (when the cops kill any semblance of liberty).

People who enploy hate speech need to have their access to internet revoked, I feel. Though I wonder if that won’t open up all sorts of nasty backdoors…

Done correctly (in the left way), yes. But I have zero faith in that the small - but thoroughly surveilling - fascist state of the USA will do that. They in fact will try to increase the government and entrench on the few liberties the Americans still had.

The far right can fuck off.

While a large state is not ideal, a small state that represses the people is the epitome of oligarchy.

A bit late, but thank you for the information, comrade. That helps, and I agree: the mid- to far right forgets oft, perhaps intentionally, that others not following their traditions, doesn’t mean they themselves can’t do either.

Just FYI, most of us left wingers are not like that. It does help listening to people.

The important thing imo is finding common ground. Keeping an open mind, but with firm boundaries: as long as both sides can agree on being civil to each other, and protecting human rights and liberty. Do not ever yield from those, however the other might try.

As long as that applies, I don’t see why one couldn’t be friends, or at least acquaintances.

But that said, this has become increasingly more difficult. It feels odd to ask this, but I figure it’d be best to ask from your side - you might know more. Maybe you have experience, maybe not.

When talking to far right wing people, what would you say helps best in deradicalising them? And when talking to right wing people, what would help them in seeing my point? The great rift of polarisation due to the growth of the far right I see currently in the world, is a danger to democracy. So I would like to do my best to reduce that.
