Send in the clones…
Don’t bother…they’re heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.
Fears of far-right violence are growing in Germany, after politician Walter Lübcke was shot dead in June, allegedly by a right-wing extremist. In one quiet area of Berlin, local residents are also being targeted.
One victim is a bookshop-owner. Another is a historian who runs a gallery. A third is a mother who refused to accept a far-right election campaign leaflet.
What they all have in common is that they stood up against right-wing extremism.
Their cars have been torched. Molotov cocktails have been thrown against their houses, and their windows have been smashed with bricks. Neo-Nazi death threats have been daubed in red paint on to the walls of homes.
I put these allegations to one of the leaders of the NPD in Berlin, Stefan Lux. As he shows me his election posters - one of them reads “Migration Kills” - he says there is no evidence that these crimes have been committed by the NPD or the far right. Instead he blames the violence on migrants.
“There are Sunni Muslim Arabs, who are criminals, who act as part of criminal clans, who are competing with each other. In some of these cases it cannot be ruled out that people have been hit by criminal violence because of these competing gangs.”
Slimebuckets. If they’re not summoning to condemn the attacks in the strongest possible language, they can’t compassion when they’re identified as supporting it.
Fascist asshole.
That photo. Thumbs-up in Munich as the slipping face of democracy makes peace with mid-level mob bosses.
It’s time to stop trying to understand Trump. It’s like trying to figure out why a boyfriend broke up with you. Really no value. He is dangerous and we need to stop playing his game of confusion, get clear, and start moving on.
I made this, because I read this comment and it became an earworm until I got it out of my head and into illustrator. Now maybe I can think about something other than Bolsonaro and all the other fascist assholes.
Edit for kerning
It’s kind of sad that people in the UK need a brief reminder of who Sir Oswald Mosley was.
It only scratches the surface, and says nothing about his siblings.
Mosely’s siblings? Do tell. I know about Mitford’s siblings, of course.
Right. Siblings-in-law, I should have said.
I guess I need to re-read about him too.
