@portraitinflesh True that only a minority on the left articulate support for the Soviet Union in explicit terms. But on the wider soft left, there is still a mushy romanticism about it, which carries over into a lack of clarity now about the nature of left totalitarianism.

It's not "the left", though, is it? It's only part of the far left. You don't see many Labour supporters or Democrats waxing lyrical about the triumphs of the USSR. The actual number of people who do that is fairly small, but social media tends to wildly inflate their importance.
Nick Tyrone@NicholasTyrone

The way the left has moved from “real socialism has never been tried” to “the socialism we had in the 20th was amazing, and the socialist countries still out there like Cuba are great, so we should be like them” over the last decade is fascinating.

On peut détester Trump et vouloir la chute des Mollahs, détester Netanyahou et vouloir la sécurité d’Israël, détester la guerre et vouloir une Europe puissante, suivre les réseaux sociaux et utiliser son cerveau. Le simplisme est le socle sur lequel se dresse le totalitarisme.

@portraitinflesh Not quite the main point, but I’m agog that an IQ of 135 is considered so unusually high. I think I come in higher, but never realised it was considered distinctive.

I love the patronizing telling-off from the magistrate. In reality, for a teenager in 1965, seeing Dylan in concert as often as possible was the best imaginable use of her time, and millions of her peers would later wish they'd done the same. I bet she went on to do great things.
Alan H Fraser@AlanHFraser

A friend of mine is researching Bob Dylan's UK tour in May 1965. He found this newspaper article from 1st June 1965, He would very much like to contact the subject of the article to hear her memories of the tour. If she was 14 in 1965 she'd be around 75 now.

Can somebody help Novara Media's, Rivkah Brown to join the dots. The same private equity firm that owns Gail's owns Burger King. No broken windows at Burger King. No pro-Pal graffiti either. Burger King doesn't have a Jewish founder.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
Many times I have tried to explain that Russia has gained a lot of experience over the four years of the full-scale invasion: knowledge of the battlefield, new technologies, experience in prolonged land warfare, and military industrial base. I always emphasized that this would have an impact on other regions: Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and other regions. Because Russia has interests in the Middle East. It used to be an ally of the former Syrian regime and still one of the current Iranian regime. They have mutual interests with North Korea – they are allies. They have interests in Europe, like undermining the unity of the EU. Now we can see that even under attack the Iranian regime is fighting back. Countries in the Middle East are not fully prepared to repel such massive attacks. This is what I'm trying to get across – to stop Russia means stopping many different wars. From an interview with i24NEWS and Jerusalem Post (3/3).

@icanhaztweetz @SCynic1 There’ve been flags in their window before Gail’s opened. Other businesses along that stretch have photos outside showing Corbyn on a visit as the local MP.

@SCynic1 I saw that cafe has, of late, put anti-Israel signs in it’s window. Never knew it was “Palestinian” or has it only been since Gail’s arrived?

@christianjbdev I am pretty sure that there is room for both businesses in the same street. They are not selling the same things. You are the one creating a problem that most likely isn't there.

The Guardian: Even tho a bakery which had a Jewish founder is a British business (technically, we guess), it’s clearly an act of aggression for a Jew-store to open near a salt-of-the-earth independently owned Palestinian cafe. theguardian.com/commentisfree/

Nothing’s led to more unreason than the permissive wild-growth of non-literal rhetoric from 60/70s thought. The “violence” of a “gaze”, the “aggression” of simply being the wrong class, the “power” of drinking a cup of coffee—and the “liberatory joy” of, you know, burning stuff.)

@aaron_benj87286 @JamesHeartfield @christianjbdev And the assignment as evil depends on two assumptions—a blood quantum mindset about Jewishness which stretches the definition to widen the potential target, and the reduction of motives — the thing with a Jewish character can only be acting to hurt others.

@christianjbdev It's actually a Platonic ideal microcosm of the whole war since '48: Jews peacefully and legally acquire available land, and it's mere "proximity" to Arabs makes it an act of aggression and theft. This is literally the logic for the past 75 years of "Zionism is evil".

Dictatorship is like cancer. If it is ignored, it spreads. It won't be contained. Belarus shows the cost of letting tyranny grow unchecked. Millions suffer today because the world looked away for too long. Tyranny doesn’t stop at borders. Neither should our fight against it.

It's maybe ironic to post about the death of Jürgen Habermas here in this twisted parody of a public square, but he's the philosopher we very much need right now, a believer in the power of communication and reason. Here's my Times obituary: nytimes.com/2026/03/14/boo…

Jürgen Habermas war einer der bedeutendsten Denker unserer Zeit. Seine analytische Schärfe prägte den demokratischen Diskurs in Deutschland und Europa und wirkte wie ein Leuchtfeuer in tosender See. Seine intellektuelle Eindringlichkeit und seine Liberalität werden uns fehlen.

Jürgen Habermas, whose work on communication, rationality and sociology made him one of the world’s most influential philosophers and a key intellectual figure in his native Germany, has died. He was 96. apnews.com/article/juerge…

This is *exactly* the same for me. Domestic abuse *Darvo* is what for me triggered instant, visceral recognition of the abusive nature of two movements - trans activist woman-blaming and pro-Pal Jew blaming. So familiar.
Hag Wife 🦇 / Freya Vanadiss 🎗️@FreyaVanadiss

My therapist asked me why some of these issues today matter so much to me. Why I fight against the trans madness & antisemitism/antizionism. I had to think for a moment - aside from the very real ‘because it’s wrong and I care about humanity’ stance. She forced me to think - but why particularly ‘for me’. I didn’t have a great childhood and my adulthood started with domestic violence. I was repeatedly told that the truth was in fact a lie, and a lie the truth. Events I witnessed and was the victim of, were denied, diminished or reversed so I was the offender or a liar or did it to myself. I watched others turn away when they saw violence inflicted on me - others who claimed to love me. I stood alone in a world where I didn’t know who to trust, or if I could even trust my own reality. That’s what the trans activists and the antizionists do. They take the truth and invert it, distort it, and destroy it, then call you the perpetrator. They claim to be the victim whilst repeatedly punching you in the face and telling you that you deserved it. Then they’ll say it never happened. They destroy when they claim to create and everyone blames you for their actions. I spent decades trying to figure out what was true or not. I wont do it again.

Incredibly shocking how so many people are trying to soften up Western populations to accept regular deadly attacks on innocent Jews ‘because Israel’ *& succeeding*. It’s insane that this is happening. Watching people fall for this in real time is genuinely shocking.

@LewisJonathanE The word ‘diaspora’ is triggering for antisemites, because it’s a reminder that Jews living around the world are dispersed — from a specific original point.
