#British MP Tom Tugendhat claims Iran’s #Fordow #nuclear facility was built specifically to "murder #Jews in Israel."
Did #Iran invent a new type of nuclear bomb that is like neutron bomb but only kills people of a specific religion?
Will it ask them before turning them to dust?

They: Climate mitigation mustn't impair social justice.
Me: So you want climate justice?
They: No, that would impair capitalism. We want capitalism to keep impairing social justice.
Me: So you're just fearmongering to distract from your cruelties?
They: Of course. That's what we always do.

@lekowicz Classic #fascism: define a nebulous group or institution, dehumanize and stoke with #fearmongering. No falsehood is perceived as ridiculous by a #truebeliever. Fears become hate. They have a “them” to hate, and bind “us” tightly together.

Along those lines, you might like my 9/11-related story, "Packaged Terror." It's a true story I waited to 2015 to write, and it's now been another decade since that, but it seems newly relevant of late. And I also hope you'll find it oddly entertaining, even as the message is deadly serious.

3/ Fear-mongering around cultural and racial diversity is another common thread. Both Trump and Hitler built their platforms by framing certain groups as a direct threat to national identity. It’s about creating fear, not solutions. #RacialDiversity #NationalIdentity #FearMongering

TN Gov Lee is set to use state personnel, likely NG/hwy patrol officers, to back Trump’s plan to deport Ms of #immigrants when he takes office.
On X, Mon: “I have asked key state agencies to begin making preparations & stand ready on Day 1 to support Pres Trump’s efforts to secure our Nation’s borders & keep communities safe.”
The statement marked the gov’s 1st confirmation that he's willing to use TN personnel.

@clive I try to keep the definition simple:

@wdlindsy I like to define fascism in terms of how they polarize society:

Here goes @adam with the #FearMongering that he complains about others doing. From a source he'd never accept if others used the same guy #NHSDrJamesRoyle to argue for something he doesn't believe, like COVID not the vax causing turbo cancers. Dutch saying etc.

Acc/to Clayton, teenagers were terrorizing the state w/o fear of consequences. The only way to stop them was to prosecute ALL 17-yr-olds in adult court, regardless of the offense, & lock them up in #prison. #Law enforcement ofcls from around the state made similar arguments. Legislators quickly passed a bill that lowered the age at which the justice system must treat defendants as adults from 18 to 17.
A #Law to Target #Teen #Violence led to 17-Yr-Olds Being Charged as Adults for Lesser Offenses
In Feb, a prosecutor from a #rural area outside #BatonRouge asked… #Louisiana’s Senate #judiciary cmte to imagine a frightening scene:You are home w/your wife at 4AM when suddenly a 17-yr-old w/a gun appears. The teenager won’t hesitate, DA Tony Clayton said. “He will kill you & your wife.”

ProPublicaA Law Was Meant to Target Teen Violence. Instead, 17-Year-Olds Are Being Charged as Adults for Lesser Offenses.Louisiana’s criminal justice system now treats all 17-year-olds as adults. Lawmakers lowered the age from 18 to curb teen violence, but nearly 70% of the 17-year-olds arrested in the state’s three largest parishes aren’t accused of violent crimes.
