"When Republicans are criticizing the president, when the media calls him a racist, when his polls are dropping and then dropping again, it’s a lot easier to see that fighting Trump on everything, all the time, is the best strategy politically and for the country."

"To be fair, it might be appropriate to put his name on a prison."

~ Steven Beschloss, noting that Trump's name should be removed, if his regime is finally toppled, from all the buildings and monuments to which he's affixed it

"(see: snoozing through the Melania premiere while the country grappled with Alex Pretti’s devastating, baseless murder).

Let’s say it: Trump is a racist. The Republican Party tolerates — if it does not actively endorse — his racism. Those who normalize him enable racism. His agenda is grounded in racism."

"Trump might be president, but the time for mincing words and normalizing his ethnic cleansing campaign (disguised as 'immigration policy') has long passed. All decent citizens should ostracize him when he prioritizes frivolous social functions at Mar-A-Lago rather than attending to the needs of the nation" (continued in /3)

There are a lot of claims by political leaders and pundits on both sides of the Atlantic that the #USA and #Europe are united by a common "European culture". And I really think we should stop saying that.

For Europeans, this was a useful way of flattering their American hegemon by emphasizing common bonds. But the American hegemony is fraying, and staying within it does not withstand a cost-benefit analysis. Another motivation is #racism - when the same people talk about "Judeo-Christian values" of the "West", it was usually not because they actually cared about Jews or had any understanding of Judaism - but because including Jews was a convenient way of deflecting racism when they excluded European Muslims.

For the white elites of the USA, emphasizing "European culture" as the center of the USA was a way of reinforcing #WhiteSupremacy , and downplaying or dismissing the contributions of non-white people. This current was always there, but has risen to the forefront of the #TrumpAdministration who now support European fascist allies in order to supercharge White Supremacy in Europe as well.

So by supporting the notion that the USA and Europe are part of the same culture, we support the propaganda of some pretty horrible people. This alone should be enough reason to stop doing so. But there is more.

"The USA has no culture!" is a common claim among Europeans, which is pure snobbery and bigotry. And by reducing the USA to a cultural appendix of Europe, we deny the agency of Americans throughout the centuries.

The USA of today _have_ some European roots, but these were never the _only_ cultural roots the USA have. And over the course of the past few centuries, they have diverged greatly from Europe, and have become a cultural powerhouse in their own right. We should respect and accept that they _have_ these political differences, and that Europe and the USA are now largely different cultural zones.

We can only move forward if we see each other clearly.

Meanwhile, turning critique inward I'm feeling like I need to do a better job not reading or sharing substacks, identifying substacks with their own domain.

Does anyone know are there specific telltale signs a blog is a substack?

I have zero respect for people that remain on Nazi-tolerant platforms.

Yeah it's costly sometimes, I get it. Life is too short and precious tho.

Half a lifetime ago I bought a house. Turned out my next door neighbor was some kind of Greek Nazi. Every time I saw him, it was youse people this, youse people that. And other nonsense.

I sold the house, and took a $30k+ bath. It was costly, so don't tell me leaving X or Substack is too costly.

"The sin and stain of racism within white Christian nationalism is but another piece of rotten fruit from a long-diseased tree. It is in this history that we see how white supremacy is—and always has been—intimately intertwined with idolizing power, fear, and violence in the calls to make the United States a Christian nation."

A 19-year-old accused of setting a Mississippi synagogue on fire allegedly dubbed Beth Israel a “synagogue of Satan.”

The phrase echoed antisemitic rhetoric used almost 60 years ago by a KKK leader accused of masterminding a bombing of Beth Israel.

I have a suggestion for the Join Mastodon Servers page. Let's remove all the topics and instances, and have nothing but #BIPOC and non-dominant culture topics and instances, for say 5 years as #Reparations for the harm caused.
