#radicalisation

1 post1 participant0 posts today

La #mysoginie et la #manosphère constituent les principaux points d'entrée dans l' #extrêmedroite, comme le révèlent les manifestes d'un certain nombre d'auteurs, souvent solitaires, d'actes de violences publiques à l'égard des #femmes et de #minorités, notamment les #immigrés et les #LGBTQIA. Considérer la mysoginie comme un phénomène secondaire du #conspirationnisme violent et de #radicalisation est donc une grave erreur.

The ConversationLa misogynie, leitmotiv des manifestes extrémistesL’analyse de plus de 100 manifestes d’assaillants isolés montre que la misogynie est une référence récurrente pour ces auteurs d’attaque.

La Deutsche Welle diffusait récemment un #documentaire sur les liens qui existent entre les groupes d'extrême droite de divers pays. #FarRight #Radicalisation #Extremism

Titre : #Racism, #hatred and terror - The global network of #rightwing #extremists

Synopsis : Right-wing extremist groups are networked worldwide. Driven by the #ideology of white supremacy, they spread their propaganda via digital platforms.

Was Jordan Peterson radicalised by his own audience?

I’m fascinated by the capacity of the algorithm to create monsters. Individuals with large followings can be radicalised by their own audiences, incorporating the feedback in ways which fundamentally change who they are how they relate to others.

I was thinking back to this analysis when watching Jordan Peterson stare out, scold and berate (admittedly annoying) teenage atheist debaters. It’s interesting how a once iconoclastic academic who many people found charismatic has become this weird angry man with the smouldering intensity of a self-styled prophet:

Germany reports a surge in extreme-right crime.

Extreme-right crime in Germany surged by nearly 50% last year.

Overall, politically motivated crimes increased by more than 40% last year in comparison to the prior year, reaching 84,172.

Authorities attributed the surge to increasing radicalisation and political polarisation in a year of elections.

Conclusion : moins de radicalité dans le sport qu'ailleurs, l'entrisme c'est un fantasme d'extrême droite et refuser le port du voile peut au contraire pousser vers la radicalisation et l'exclusion (incroyable !)

Petignat peut nous sermoner sur notre aveuglement, mais il se trouve que le journal auquel il contribue, #LeTemps, participe depuis des années à cette lente cuisson de la grenouille, tout en tournant régulièrement en ridicule ceux qui nous avertissent du danger, parce que leur ton n'est pas assez policé et qu'eux-mêmes sont trop tatoués, une indication certaine d'une dangereuse #radicalité, voire #radicalisation.

“We see on our own streets antisemitism guided by obscene woke ideologies that have led to an explosion in hate crimes”

Pierre Poilievre’s hate filled propagandist speech at the National Holocaust Memorial Ceremony yesterday was a disgrace to all Canadians.

He neglected to mention the millions of innocent victims exterminated by Nazis, or condemn the current disturbing rise in fascism across America and Europe openly embraced by his own elite supporter Elon Musk.

Ultimately, Pierre’s true fear for the future is a Canadian culture that is aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).

That is a culture that would reject a Prime Minister who intentionally refused to recognize more than two genders exist.

That is a culture that would reject an illiberal autocrat hell bent on removing established civil rights and supports while openly embracing big money corporate interests over Canadian values and beliefs.

This is not our future Prime Minister, this is just another RW populist looking to further dehumanize and attack those culturally aware in Canada.

Trump’s success has emboldened #MapleMaga to believe they can win the culture war with Pierre Poilievre, they simply need to relentlessly attack their ultimate enemy, societal awareness.

Thanks to Steve Boots for covering this, as #cdnmedia yet again fail to show how much of a hateful, divisive prick Poilievre truly is.

@EUCommission

We need #NuancedActivism ✊ that can pull #people gently by the shirt timely enough to bring them back into the fold of #CivilSociety where #truth and #CriticalThinking can be nurtured again.

What we have is #RepellentActivism that puts a hot iron to anyone acting suspicious, and ensures they're so hurt never to return.

Repellent #activism is loved by #extremists both on the left and right as it feeds into voracious #PuritySpirals and suck more people into deep #radicalisation.
