Last year I received a death threat online. Some fascist German MAGA excuse for a human wanted me dead.
I then spoke with @hateaid, a German organization that helps people who are threatened or abused online or by hate speech.
I coincidentally heard many stories of people who were threatened much worse than I was, whose life was turned into a living hell. We absolutely do need organizations like HateAid, nowadays more than ever before.
They are now themselves attacked … by the US regime in their global quest against "antifa(scism)". 😠
The US fascists officially won't let them enter the USA anymore. The US nazis claim "censorship" as their justification. This is just the beginning.
Think about that: The USA is attacking civil organizations of a country (Germany) that once was one of its closest allies.
Our time is no longer nation against nation. In the light of global catastrophes such as the climate crisis, it's a trans-national group of ultra-rich people against the trans-national collection of non-billionaires … which now no longer includes just the countries of the Global South that privileged people like my German countrymen and countrywomen ignored oh so conveniently.
This trans-national worker collective that is so openly attacked now also includes Western white people who thought themselves so privileged and exempted.
As the saying goes: Fascism is what white people call it when their governments eventually start doing to them what they've been doing to people of color all this time.
Anyway, that's a small report of how it's currently going in #Germany for those who don't speak German. If you, reader, are German, donate to @hateaid .
These days, everyone who talks about "freedom of speech" is a motherfucking asshole: a fascist, plain and simple, and/or just somebody too lazy a thinker to hear the dog whistle.
