If they don’t want to, they’re welcome to use the stalls too.

Make sure you have the right person before calling someone a Nazi pig.
Sabine Volk, a researcher at the Institute for Research on Far Right Extremism at the University of Tübingen, says these groups attract young men who promote what they call traditional family values — a kind of pride that has little to do with rainbow flags.
“The key slogan is that the German flag and Germany itself is already colorful enough,” Volk says. “And the overall message is that queer life does not have a place in Germany.”

Who said “We’re just so much better than America”? Seems like a straw man. People say what they don’t want the USA to export fascism to their country and some Americans hear “We’re better than America” because some Americans react weirdly to criticism of their country.
Fascism is a danger everywhere. The USA is spreading it everywhere. A lot of people understandably don’t like this.

They are terrified of workers figuring out where their real interests lie.
Interesting to read yesterday that Corbyn is forming a new party. It’s a big mountain to climb and he’s no spring chicken, but if it’s done right the UK could once again have a party true to Labour’s original principles.

Maybe I’m the commenter you’re looking for, but this seems like an overgeneralization. I have several Jewish friends who are under no illusions about Israel, and who are quite clear about how Netanyahu and his ilk are consciously and cynically fueling antisemitism, not least by throwing around accusations if it against anyone who criticizes the genocide they are perpetrating. So saying “Jews don’t seem to have [any] clue” feels heavy-handed.

One that is rooted in your communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.”
What’s old is new. At one time, long ago, that was Labour.

Japan’s far-right populist Sanseito party was one of the biggest winners in the weekend’s upper house election, attracting many voters with its “Japanese First” platform that included calling for tougher restrictions on foreigners and the curtailment of gender equality and diversity policies.
Why? He draw a swastika next to the name of a fascist. Is this the kind of thing that would typically result in prison time?
