My girl spoke nothing but fucking TRUTH. Now that’s this kind of Women we need our girls to look up too.
Who is she?
Sarah Kendzior.
She’s an expert in authoritarianism and has accurately predicted almost everything that is happening – her unflinching insight and analysis is terrifying but invaluable right now. Well worth following on twitter.
fucking
why did i never see this until now
You know what saddens me?
How fast she has to talk.
If a man were saying that, he’d be going slowly to emphasise points. He’d be indulging in the occasional ‘you know’ or other filler words. He’d be able to stop for breath. Notice that she didn’t do that. She had the whole thing memorised and she got it out with barely a pause to breathe.
Why?
Because she expected to be interrupted.
What she said was awesome and is absolutely true, and is frankly underlined by the fact that she had to say the whole thing all at once for fear that she wouldn’t be able to say it at all if she so much as stopped to breathe because one of those older white men sitting around her would interrupt and roll right over her.
what i notice is the guys in the audience sitting motionless, declining to applaud, though every word she spoke was truth and she spoke it with fire. it’s not the content, it’s a powerful, intelligent woman speaking truth with fire that they choose not to support.
A group of far-right anti-Islam protesters attempting to flex their power on the streets of Hamilton were met with sharp counter-resistance and a massive police presence on Sunday. The failed “Patriot Walk on Lock” was largely derailed thanks to a 1,200-word anti-racist blog post that looks straight out of 2009.
The pushback was so intense that the “patriots” attempted to reschedule their event but in haste forgot to tell the people attending—leaving lots of their supporters high and dry.
The alt-right is falling apart. Richard Spencer says it’s not “fun” anymore and is considering suspending his speaking tours amidst low turn out numbers.
One of their leaders, Matthew Heimbach (communismkill’s ex-boyfriend), was engaged in an affair with another leader’s mother in-law which led to major infighting.
Their forums are getting shut down thanks to leaks obtained by antifa groups. As well as planned events being pulled out because they’ve been consistently opposed and usually outnumbered by antifa counter-protesters.
Doxing racists work. They’re terrified of going to events and several of them are being charged with hate crimes and even attempted murder.
Antifa needs a lot more credit for fragmenting a group that at it’s peak in Charlottesville was engaging in a race war. We can’t keep moralising the point of Antifa but instead we should look at the bigger picture, which is that the resurgence of public antisemitics, race science and xenophobia should be met with an equal amount of retaliation
