Can't find a photo or image of the front cover of the infamous Daily Mail front page 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts' so have the Daily Worker's front page after Mosley got stopped.
They're good at hiding those. I can't find a picture of "Abortion hope after 'gay genes' finding" either, and that's from 1993.

quote:

Lord Rothermere was a friend of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, and directed the Mail's editorial stance towards them in the 1930s. Rothermere's 1933 leader "Youth Triumphant" praised the new Nazi regime's accomplishments, and was subsequently used as propaganda by them. In it, Rothermere predicted that "The minor misdeeds of individual Nazis would be submerged by the immense benefits the new regime is already bestowing upon Germany".
All Daily Mail links on SA should have this underneath by default.

"White women who want to become white men" is the worst description of feminism I've ever heard, and reinforces the point that feminism is needed more than ever. Why the hell should being a white male be a desirable thing to be? (Question is 'should', not 'is')
The depiction of feminism as being something that doesn't care about intersectionality, or about the differing experiences of patriarchy by race, is something that has long been a criticism of the mainstream feminist movement.

"Women who want to become men :supaburn:" sounds like a bullshit reactionary MRA criticism of all feminists.
"White women who want to become white men" sounds like a specifically womanist complaint about the exclusion of women of color from second-wave feminism, highlighting the perception that white women wanted to become equally oppressive as white men, rapidly followed by FYGM.

Some skinheads rallied yesterday in London, Ontario. I was shocked to hear this, because although London has a bit of a reputation, I never imagined seeing loving Nazis parading out in the open. I guess it just goes to show that there can be fascists everywhere.






Wait, Nazi skinheads using the red ensign and a flag with a crown on it? I thought that was more the United Empire Loyalist's thing, and Neo-Nazis were against foreign influence and (usually) against monarchy in favor of national rule by a republic of pure strong white men?

Or do they long to be under the thumb of direct imperial rule by Elizabeth from the other London?

Holy gently caress this is stupid. Ignoring all the other terrible poo poo about this chart for the moment, anarchism is a radical anti-capitalist ideology. It's a form of socialism that originated from an 1871 schism of the First International, between the group that became modern Marxists and the group that became modern anarchists. Not only are anarchists not even close to libertarians on the political spectrum, they have a tendency to really loving hate libertarians for falsely claiming the anarchist movement's history and legacy as their own.
Well, it's hardly surprising. The term 'libertarian' originally referred to radical leftist thought as part of Kropotkin's split from Marxism, and contained the various forms of anarchism within it. It was only in the 60s when it was repurposedstolen to mean a type of free-market ultracapitalism.

Taking the original turn of the century definition of libertarian, that chart actually works.

Are potatoes seriously a luxury food?


The new Lord John Russell Whig administration, influenced by their laissez-faire belief that the market would provide the food needed but at the same time ignoring the food exports to England, then halted government food and relief works, leaving many hundreds of thousands of people without any work, money or food.

Not all diabetes is a 'lifestyle disease', and until recently most diabetes treatments were for the autoimmune form of diabetes.

I'm guessing the idea was to try and force it to land, or just force it away from the area, rather than make it crash.

Admittedly it could have potentially caused a crash, but as far as ways of getting helicopters to go home, it's pretty benign.

Fascists support state ownership of public services, who would have guessed??? Working class racists may have been more likely to vote for Labour than the Tories, who would have guessed??? Clearly this means fascism and communism are one and the same.


The two axis graph is at least better than the horseshoe, which literally says that far-fascism and far-communism are close together. Left and right on that graph refer purely to economic policy, so it doesn't work if you're used to thinking of right wing and left wing in social terms, although right wing economic policy does tend to lead to hierarchy, and left wing to equality. You'd need a third axis for 'racist shitbag y/n' for full context of the BNP placement.
