Weâve uncovered a secret Facebook group jam packed with Holocaust jokes, antisemitic conspiracies, nazi posts and sick comments. Whoâs behind it? A @BreitbartNews writer.https://t.co/y3vp7mhzeC pic.twitter.com/dXlMdirRMa— HOPE not hate (@hopenothate) November 23, 2017

Manolis Glezos – 95 year old who tore the swastika down from the Acropolis under Nazi rule – pays tribute, alone in the rain, to the 1973 uprising against Greece's dictatorship. What an image. pic.twitter.com/7ZkrCPH6AI

Download The Damaged Times! – Obey Giant – “The Damaged Times is now available as a free, digital download! Iâd like to thank Juxtapoz and Henry Rollins, Naomi Klein, David Degraw, Arlene Mejorado, Gwynn Vitello, Victoria Yarnish, Fredrika Newton Evan Pricco, Stephen Serrato, and Simon Steinhardt for contributing. My newspaper flips the standard model by having REAL news and FAKE ads!” Not completely convinced aesthetically, but the content plus the idea are great.
Puerto Rico’s DIY Disaster Relief | by Molly Crabapple – “Their Proyecto is one of a rapidly growing network of autonomous, self-managed Centros de Apoyo Mutuos (CAMs), which now also exist in Caguas, RĂo Piedras, La Perla, MayagĂŒez, Utuado, Lares, Naranjito, and Yabucoa. Each offers a communal dining room, with delicious free food. They distribute goods donated both by locals and those abroad, and they organize brigades to clear roads with machetes and axes. The CAMs are established by and for their communities, and in the course of providing aid, they create spaces for discussion and political organization.” Very strong in image and text.

How to turn your car crash into a catchy song – “So like, I kinda got into an accident. My damn horn wouldn’t go off so I decided to make a song out of it.”
Truss Fail – “Truss fell knocking over ladder and air nailer and breaking air hose!”

Chinese bike share graveyard a monument to industry’s ‘arrogance’ – “Future of dockless bicycles under a cloud amid concerns there are too many bikes and not enough demand” Haunting images of a kind of wastefulness that is not reported enough. And not only in China.
Church of Sweden to stop referring to God as ‘he’ or ‘Lord’ – “Head of largest Swedish Christian church says God is beyond human gender determination”. Some people, you guessed it, it’s some men, disagree.
Capitalismâs slow end – “Capitalism will not end with a bang, but with a (prolonged) whimper.” Personally I am still hoping for the bang … But.
Americaâs âRetail Apocalypseâ Is Really Just Beginning – “The root cause is that many of these long-standing chains are overloaded with debtâoften from leveraged buyouts led by private equity firms. There are billions in borrowings on the balance sheets of troubled retailers, and sustaining that load is only going to become harderâeven for healthy chains.” Not only amazon and walmart are to blame.
Mladic the genocide: a moment of silence for the Balkans’ lost lives, honor and credibility – “On a day like this one, instead of rattling on in a âknow it all attitude,â I would ask for a moment of thoughtful silence. Once, before those dark deeds, we had so much time to emote, elaborate and speak out, to come to terms with our own grisly potential. To celebrate when a jail door is slammed and bolted is hypocritical. Mladic himself spoke when his sentence was finally read in the court â he swore out, loudly and vulgarly. That is why I ask for a minute of silence instead.” Peace.
Television’s Most Infamous Hack Is Still a Mystery 30 Years Later – “For more about the theories and conspiracies behind the Headroom hack, read Motherboard’s classic 2013 investigation, The Mystery of the Creepiest Television Hack.” Creepy? Hilarious!
Thanksgiving with a Trump-Supporting Climate Change Skeptic Who Happens To Be Your Father – “Before she shares Thanksgiving dinner with her father at her childhood home in the mountains of North Carolina, Anna Jane Joyner plans to meditate, do yoga, and drink several mimosas.” Heartwrenching.
The 1991 Tokyo Museum Exhibition That Was Only Accessible by Telephone, Fax & Modem – “The deeper we get into the 21st century, the more energy and resources museums put into digitizing their offerings and making them available, free and worldwide, as virtual experiences on the internet. But what form would a virtual museum have taken before the internet as we know it today?” Remember fax?
The haves and have-nots: four cities in crisis – “On the surface, Ulaanbaatar, San Francisco, Calais and Jerusalem could not be more different â but for the people squeezed out by political upheaval or prohibitive rents, the urban 21st century looks disturbingly uniform” Featuring very strong photos as well.
What Charles Manson Had in Common with the Alt-Right – “Besides fear of black people and anxiety about the collapse of the white race, Manson and the modern far-right also shared fantasies about the future.” Surprise surprise.
MPs vote ‘that animals cannot feel pain or emotions’ into the Brexit bill – “Itâs shocking that MPs have given animal sentience the thumbs down'” Asshole MPs gonna asshole.
New York Radical Women Feminist Collective: An Oral History – – “Fifty years ago, a group of women convened in New York with one clear goal: Dismantle the patriarchy. Their struggle feels all too contemporary.” #TeamFeminism
The Hidden History of Trumpâs First Trip to Moscow – “In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.” The plot can’t even thicken anymore.
Selfie tourism is killing these incredibly cute creatures – “A small furry creature huddles close to a tree branch on the edge of the forest. Its large, globular eyes are shut (itâs daytime, and so now it sleeps); its strong hands and arms hold firm even as it slumbers.” Asshole selfies gonna asshole selfie.
People for sale: Where lives are auctioned for $400 – “The smugglers become masters, the migrants and refugees become slaves” Places the pathetic DefendEurope mission by the identitarian “movement” into an even grimmer context. Fuck you Sellner.

Die Wiederkehr der Schönheit Ăber einige unangenehme Begegnungen von Wolfgang Ullrich07.11.2017 » POP-ZEITSCHRIFT – “Man braucht sich dafĂŒr nicht auf Kant und Schiller zu berufen, aber man kann es natĂŒrlich tun. Und man kann sich dann zumindest einen wichtigen Unterschied bewusst machen. So ist die Idee eines âsensus communisâ und einer Geselligkeit, bei der sich Menschen in der freien Begegnung mit etwas Schönem wechselseitig ineinander erkennen können, etwas gĂ€nzlich anderes als die Erfahrung einer Community, zu der man nur infolge exklusiver Teilhabe an Schönem gehört, und nochmals etwas gĂ€nzlich anderes als das GefĂŒhl, in einer starken Gemeinschaft, einem Volk aufzugehen. Das Denken in Communities und starken Gemeinschaften fĂŒhrt zu Elitarismus und Chauvinismus, doch wenn eine Schönheitserfahrung weder durch Immersion noch durch Angst erzwungen ist, sondern sich aus Freiheit ergibt, dann enthĂ€lt sie, neben aller BeglĂŒckung fĂŒr den Einzelnen, auch noch die Dimension einer Verbundenheit, die niemanden fesselt und niemanden ausschlieĂt â die Erfahrung eines âcommon groundâ.”
âManeki Nekoâ by Bruce Sterling (1998) â Bruce Sterling – “Originally published in Hayakawaâs Science Fiction Magazine”
Sofortiger parlamentarischer Ungehorsam reloaded – “Denn ich beobachte teilweise einen pawlowschen Reflex, sich zwanghaft auf Gegner zu beziehen. Dadurch bleibt man reaktiv statt aktiv. Und verpasst es, eigene Utopien und Ideen zu entwickeln und in die Welt zu bringen.” Franziska Schutzbach bezieht Stellung zu den Anschuldigungen von Seiten der rechten Medien.
Diese Websites können alles tracken, was ihr eintippt – “Die Studie zeigt, dass viele der meistbesuchten Websites ohne Wissen des Nutzers sensible Nutzerdaten sammeln, die noch dazu teilweise unverschlĂŒsselt ĂŒbermittelt werden und an Dritte weitergegeben werden.”
Das ist das neue Holocaust-Mahnmal â direkt bei Björn Höcke vor dem Haus – “Das Mahnmal ist nicht der einzige Inhalt der Kunstaktion. Das Zentrum behauptet, dass es Bernd Höcke in den letzten Monat intensiv ĂŒberwacht habe. Wenn er keinen Kniefall vor dem Mahnmal in Berlin oder Bornhagen mache, dann wollen die AktionskĂŒnstler die gesammelten Dossiers ĂŒber den RechtsauĂen in Umlauf bringen.”
https://deine-stele.de/ – “Finanziere den erinnerungspolitischsten Beton aller Zeiten!” Bernd Höcker be fuming.
Ich habe Ideale und ich habe mich entschieden, fĂŒr sie zu kĂ€mpfen. – “Ich habe es fĂŒr richtig gehalten auf die StraĂe zu gehen, um daran zu erinnern, dass die Bevölkerung eben keine Schafsherde ist und dass sie in Entscheidungsprozesse involviert werden muss.” #FreeFabio
