"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

- Karl Popper (1945)

"My father always used to say, 'Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument.' Good sense does not always lie with the loudest shouters, nor can we say that a large, unruly crowd is always the best arbiter of what is right."

- Desmond Tutu

"Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers' enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves..." 1/2

- Simone Weil

"We are what we see ourselves as, whether what we see exists or not. We are what people see us as, whether what they see exists or not. What people see in themselves and others has meaning and manifests itself in ideas and actions and policies, even if what they are seeing is an illusion."

- Ibram X. Kendi (2019)

For all I need to know about the refugee crisis in the UK. One caveat, how come the same amount of printers ink used on #RefugeesWelcome from elsewhere in the world. I leave you to fill in the gaps. #AntiRascist #AntiFa #FPBE #RejoinEU

@Baseandsuperstructure90 @AnarchoN8V that’s why I said “apparently” #antirascist because it’s a total lie.

@Baseandsuperstructure90 @AnarchoN8V such a shame that such a publicly inclusive and apparently #antirascist organization like #FIFA would stoop so low as to allow the host country to allow such repression

Good morning Mastadon. Let’s resist the urge to spend our money needlessly on things we don’t need. Save that money to help fund #antifascist #antirascist and #anticapitalist causes and groups that need the funds. :antifa: :better_pride:

For those that are unfamiliar with Audrey Lorde. In her own words she is a, "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet."

Use CWs but reflect on who are you doing it for. Use CWs if you are providing safety and care for the marginalised and underprivileged. Don't use them if you are protecting the comfort of those with privilege. For many the world is a hostile, brutal, and cruel world. To protect those that are already shielded from it is unnecessary and their comfort should not come at the expense who live it. 3/3

Been on this site for a few days and thought that I would introduce myself. I'm a #socialist and #antirascist, #antihomophobia, #antitransphobia, etc...

Obsessed by #Music and I mainly listen to #Punk but I am very open minded. I use last.fm to track my music (https://www.last.fm/user/Punky_John).

Also obsessed by #DragRace.

I am a #Football fan and support #LutonTownFC and #England.

Here to expand my knowledge and interact in friendly discussions.

I tend to respond to posts than be a prolific poster.
