    So important to document all these tactics and counter-tactics. It will also come to parts of Europe soon. Sweden has under the current government implemented prisons for children and forced government employees to report suspected undocumented children and families. And the far-right has not even officially been included in the government yet. We probably have to prepare here too.

      Do you or anybody know if there is a good place to find tactics currently being battle tested and updated from Minnesota and other places? I feel like the HK protests also had lots of interesting findings. It might be useful for SUTR and other UK anti-facist groups

        Fascism is running rampant through most Western styled democracies all over the globe. It’s a byproduct of late stage capitalism, instead of addressing the root problem that is causing wealth inequality, fascist and their wealthy backers are blaming everything on scapegoats.

        The US is just the bellwether, but we’ve seen a very prominent rise in far right parties surging in even socdem countries.

        It’s a different disease though. There is no political option that isn’t for migration crackdowns, imprisoning children and removing safeguards against repression and surveillance. But as opposed to the Trump regime, neither side of Swedish politics are trying to abolish the other or is actively trying to break down the constitutional order.

      It will also come to parts of Europe soon.

      In 10 years we’ll officially know the CIA has been funding far-right groups in the EU.

      I’d say we’re far from close in Sweden. The uptick in SD voters is very concerning, and the rest of the right is pretty trash as well. But it’s at least pretty likely the left gets the win this year, so let’s hope they do and start cleaning up the mess the right has created…

        Has been for a while now. Kinda sad considering it used to be considered a bastion of modern society.

      In France we have people on far-right billionaire-funded yet widely popular TV channel openly advocating for the adoption of ICE tactics.

      We’ve also already got special administrative prisons with inhumane conditions for undocumented migrants for a while. Likewise, on paper, the far-right has never participated in any government since 1945.

      Let’s not forget that the EU has delegated arbitrary arrest and violent policing of migrants to other states for quite a while now.

      Dark times ahead, we need to fight now, but, indeed, also prepare for a worsening of the situation.

        Yes, and don’t forget a bunch of EU countries just signed up with Palantir too. So it’s definitely coming to Europe. I think they’re trying to separate us Americans that disagree with this from the rest of the world so we have no one.

        This is a global class war. Of course they’re going to pick out the big target. If they succeed in isolating us the rest of the western world is easy pickings.
