#Germany seeks to #deport #protesters

Submitted by webadmin on 9 April, 2025

"The German state has issued deportation orders for three #EUCitizens and one #American who have attended #ProPalestinian protests.

"Berlin immigration authorities issued the orders on 31 March, demanding that the four individuals leave Germany within one month or else face deportation. Their orders cite a protest in October 2024 in which masked individuals caused 'significant property damage, including #graffiti', as well as resisting arrest and calling a #police officer a '#fascist'.

"Unusually, three of the four orders also invoke the German principle of #Staatsräson, (“#StateReason”). This term originates from a speech #AngelaMerkel gave to the #IsraeliKnesset in 2008, asserting that #Israeli security was fundamental to the purpose of the German state.

"Staatsräson is not an officially defined term or codified anywhere in the German constitution or by German courts. At least two of the protestors are appealing the decision, with their lawyer telling Al-Monitor that it is a 'political concept, not a legal concept, and therefore unlawful'.

"In any case, the #deportation of #activists for #protesting should be opposed.

#Khalil

"The activists’ lawyer has drawn parallels to the case of #MahmoudKhalil in the US. 'I see similarities… It is weaponization of #ImmigrationLaw as a tool to silence #PoliticalDissent'. Khalil’s case may also lead to a debate on interpretations of the US constitution’s #FirstAmendment.

"Back in February, #Berlin police broke up a protest, citing a ban on '#ArabicChanting', the playing of #ArabicMusic, or giving a speech in #Arabic. In October 2024, police raided the homes of five men, four of whom were being investigated over 'authorship of #antisemitic social media posts'.

Clapping

"And after the joint Israeli-Palestinian documentary #NoOtherLand won an Academy Award, German culture minister Claudia Roth insisted that she was only clapping for Israeli director Yuval Abraham, not Palestinian director #BaselAdra. Several politicians, including the mayor of Berlin, called for her resignation. A torrent of public criticism was aimed at #YuvalAbraham for his acceptance speech, to which he responded: 'To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire — and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger.'

"Israeli politicians cited German politicians when attacking the filmmakers themselves, and only weeks later, co-director #HamdanBallal was attacked by #IsraeliSettlers in the #WestBank, and removed from an ambulance by #IDF soldiers.

"German Staatsräson is less about assuring Israel’s right to exist, and more about giving a free hand to the #repressive policies of the Israeli right."

#RightWing #Christians (and Elon) Hate #Empathy - Here's Why We Shouldn't

youtube.com/watch?v=igGOXJzx9A0

The #religiousright, #ChristianNationalists, and Elon Musk are villainizing empathy, but why is that? They're calling it a sin and a weakness, but we can - and should - do better.

« A #Delaware judge, once again, has found that a conservative news outlet broadcast false & defamatory claims about role a voting tech company played in the 2020 #PresidentialElection. This time, that network is #Newsmax, #FoxNews' upstart rival,..fresh off a successful initial public offering

Following Biden's victory over #Trump that November, Trump's allies & supporters took to #RightWing #media to accuse #DominionVotingSystems of rigging the #vote to help #Biden »

It's worth bearing in mind as we read more and more news about "AI" being shoved into every nook and cranny of the US federal government:
The right loves AI-generated imagery. In a short time, a full half of the political spectrum has collectively fallen for the glossy, disturbing visuals created by generative AI. Despite its proponents having little love, or talent, for any form of artistic expression, right wing visual culture once ranged from memorable election-year posters to ‘terrorwave’. Today it is slop, almost totally.
From AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism

I'm not finding the reference right now but I've read similar observations about writing as well: the political right used to have talented writers, but nowadays not so much.

(This is not an invitation for "duh, they're just MAGA idiots" responses or variations on that theme. I'm as frustrated as the next person about the political climate but I'm not here for that).

#AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #FarRight #RightWing
New SocialistAI: The New Aesthetics of FascismIt's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

”USA will be the most dominant state ever, economically”, says Trump.

This reveals a few key thigs:
- MAGA is and always has been about dominance. It is absolutely central and will not budge for anything.
- They are only seeking subservience from their allies. There will be no win-win deals.

Nations will fair better taking their business elsewhere.

#TheAmericanFascist uttered this morning.

“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.”

The left wing social democratic forces of the world (including the #Liberals and #NDP in Canada) have been so neutered and brow beaten into incrementalism and neo-Liberal corporate capture, that a right wing, billionaire-wannabe, near-Nazi fascist, and politicians who want to be like him (Pierre Poillievre) have stolen the rallying cries of working men and women (but mostly men).

These were the warnings working people and socialist forces screamed when Free Trade and privatization was born by Reagan and Mulroney, Thatcher and Chirac. The de-unionization of western economies, the decimation of public infrastructure for private “partnerships”…

Now here we are, it all got so bad that the regular person, struggling to put inflated food on the table, or put their children through inflated college, are so fed up that they submit to the regressive, racist, anti-human, bloviations of populist tyrants.

A pox on you, “Liberals” and “Democrats” of the world.

You chose corporations while you placated people with false promises and false hopes.

You enabled the worst of the human condition through complacency and greed.

Your limp, unconvincing defence of Liberalism and Democratic values destroyed both.

What will you do to win back the podium to speak for working people? Perhaps you don’t deserve to.

#GrowSF is a #centrist (at best) if not centre-right group in #SanFrancisco that send unsolicited mail to citizens, harangs people who did not ask to be in their list to vote for their #centre-right to #rightwing candidates, and who will contact you about whether or not you voted .

Intrusive, unwanted, annoying.

This is their so-called team.

growsf.orgThe GrowSF TeamGrowSF is a group of people who care about the future of San Francisco and want to see the city invest in growth so we can build for future generations.

Now, how about that?! At least one of the knife attacks in Germany appears to have been organized by Putin. It makes sense: Russia wants the AfD and other right wing parties to win, as they are anti-democracy Putin-lovers. Putin pays for terror attacks, and makes them look like Islam/migrant motivated crimes… makes sense.

With Kent County elections coming up I keep receiving hate mail through my letterbox. From two sources; some evil sounding bunch called 'The Conservatives' and an even more extreme lot lot called 'Reform UK'.

Surely there's somewhere I can report this?

Yoon is gone, and good riddance, but the right wing hordes behind him expanded and further radicalized. A strong majority of Koreans supported his ouster, but the minority behind him is by no means small nor is it going away. This is a good article explaining who's in that crowd and what they're up to.
