Here’s a comment I saw here a while ago, but when exoduses occur, the site becomes a shithole of far right ideas. Since the far right tends to stay put for whatever reason. I think they used Reddit predcessor as an example but I’m not totally sure

hellequin67 , to world in Britain's far right is booming on Elon Musk's Twitter

Sadly the right is on the rise everywhere and not solely due to twitter, they just give it a more visible voice

Hnazant ,

The 1930s video from America give a lot of perspective. Then we camped the Japanese but let the Germans have children summercamps???

Eh, it’s ok. There’s not that many of them. They’re just louder.

Juliie ,

There is a loud crazy minority and many people that like what they say or silently accept it. Some may even be ashamed to mention it.

Fear is often accompanied by shame. People are afraid and altright capitalize these fears

S_204 ,

That’s a dangerous line of thinking. There’s lots more of them than we might expect, and they’re growing emboldened by the day.

Kid_Funky_Fried ,

Omg im literally shaking and crying and shidding

S_204 ,

I don’t get it. Are you claiming to be a far right supporter or something? Why would you be crying and shidding?

Maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends on the country. In Canada, the right is mocked into oblivion and the message is pretty fucking clear that we do not want the shit that is happening in the US to slowly creep it's way here. Really happy with the progress we've done to push these brainwashed fascists away.

ieatpillowtags ,

Idk man, I’m in the US so my perspective is limited to media, but I do see things like the trucker convoys that make me worried that Canada has its own problems with the far right.

Puppy ,
@Puppy@kbin.social avatar

Oh i'm not trying to hide it, we do. But trust me, these people were mocked at, pissed on, laughed at and got humiliated. À l'instar of 40% of our population, it's tiny little 5% that mostly reside in Alberta and no one really care about their existence. Huuuuuuuuge difference with the US but we see it, we watch, we are learning.

NuPNuA ,

Didn’t you have a massive blockade of anti-vaxers in a major city the other year?

floofloof ,

Have you not noticed how all the polls have put the Conservatives well in the lead for the popular vote ever since Poilievre took over and started pandering to fascists? The right is mocked online, but Poilievre stands a real chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. Canada is suffering a serious lurch to the right.

Reportedly? You couldn’t find confirmation of this?

They gave a link.

And still they had to hedge themselves in their title by saying ‘reportedly’

stanleytweedle , to world in Racist or revolutionary: The complex legacy of Alexei Navalny

Bit of a hit piece seems like. The only statements they can dig up to support the claim of ‘racism’ are pretty milquetoast, especially for Russia. Nothing a ‘moderate’ Republican wouldn’t give a nod.

The fact that anyone is bothering to smear the currently imprisoned “Guiness world record holder for most poisoned underpants” must mean Pootles isn’t feeling too big and shirtless after his hot dog salesman came a-knocking mob handed.

…I’m so good at sentences.

The article actually goes incredibly soft on him in terms of his nationalism and racism. He was kicked out of a popular resistance party for being too nationalist and then founded a whole political party who’s goal was to turn Russia into an ethno-state.

stanleytweedle ,

What are the names of those parties? I’d like to look them up.

dannoffs ,
@dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

The one he was kicked out of is called “Yabloko” and then he co-founded the “National Russian Liberation Movement”

dsemy ,

I know he’s popular in the west because he is anti-Putin, but he is a piece of shit.

Btw, I know Russian, and I can confirm the title of the linked video is accurate.

jugalator , to world in Britain's far right is booming on Elon Musk's Twitter

They’ve boomed on Swedish Twitter for like five years now.

cocaineandnudity , to world in Britain's far right is booming on Elon Musk's Twitter

One of my motivations behind leaving.

It used to be a place for discussion of ideas. Now almost every story about has hundreds of comments, mostly hating on one group of people or another.

SpeedflyChris ,

That and crypto scammers. That’s basically all twitter is now.

changingfmh , to world in Britain's far right is booming on Elon Musk's Twitter

Political extremism is on the rise anyway, Elon just gave them a way to spend $12 and beat the algorithm.

Mark Rutte has been our prime minister for 13 years and I hate him with every fibre of my body. I really hope we will finally get someone new (better) in charge.

Zadkine ,

Be careful what you wish for, we might get Caroline or Thierry…

Lunyan ,
@Lunyan@kbin.social avatar

Oof~ yeah that would be worse... I would genuinely be scared of the future here if that were to happen

EyesEyesBaby ,

Rutte always gets all the blame, but lots of people forget all the other parties that are part of the coalition. They’re equally responsible for the mess that has been created during the Rutte cabinets.

Lunyan ,
@Lunyan@kbin.social avatar

Oh yeah definitely. In a way Rutte is just a symbol of what I hate about our government, but he's only a part of it of course

NuPNuA ,

As a Brit, trust me, a new PM isn’t always better, look at the slippery slope of our leaders for the last 13 years.

minnow ,

Well, fascists gonna fasc, regardless of which country they’re in.

NuPNuA ,

That’s a bit of a simplistic way of looking at it. Yes there are people in the Tories or Reform looking to stoke division via culture wars, but they’re not picking up as much traction here as we don’t have the religious puritism baked into society that the Septics have.

Also, look at the difference in what happened to Trump and Boris. Boris was found guilty of misleading Parliament and ran away with his tail between his legs to return to journalism seeming accepting his days as an MP are done. Trumps been impeached twice and recently arrested for how he dealt with confidential documents, and is still able to run for president again. Not to mention how people react, we didn’t have a group of idiots try and storm Parliament when Boris was outed as leader or forced to resign like the January 6th seige. We aren’t that far gone yet.

@AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world avatar

Re-engineering our space program towards space manufacturing, mineral extraction, and building permanent residences in space sufficient enough to support the people that would be needed to build and maintain space-based infrastructure like a reflector would be an undertaking I’m not sure humanity currently has the drive for.

Science and futurism YouTuber Isaac Arthur is going to love this. Giant aluminum reflectors are a huge part of future space infrastructure and he is happy to point this out quite often.

AvoidMyRage ,

I believe they’re trying to chemically blocking the sun (using sulfur dioxide) rather than physically blocking it.

It is obvious we’re not gonna fix this by changing our habits, so I’m all for a technological solution. It will have unforeseen consequences and we will deal with those, too. Humankind is nothing but adaptable.

VitoCorleone , to world in Britain's far right is booming on Elon Musk's Twitter

I have some intelligent and caring friends and it boggles my mind how they still think Musk is a “net positive”. Every day we hear some new example of his recklessness, support of extremist regimes, double standards and generally making the lives of people around him worse.

Thrawne , to world in US considers 'sun blocking' to cool the Earth: What is it and does it really work?

Wasnt this the start of Highlander 2?

deus_deceptor ,

You must be confused. The first Highlander movie was followed up with Highlander 3. There was no Highlander 2.

What? The Dutch government collapsed?
