I’m old enough to remember communist parties in democratic #elections. They were #farleft.

But just because we now have electoral gains by the parties farthest left in countries like #finland and #denmark, doesn’t mean it was a far-left victory.

The people on the #farright are going to try and make it sound like it. Be warned.

These parties are ”pure left”. Actual left, not playing left.

What makes them different is they don’t apologise for being #left like the centre-left parties often do.

Germany’s AfD is so extreme it was kicked out of the far-right grouping in the European Parliament last month, but Elon Musk thinks their policies “don’t sound extremist.” That’s because he’s also a fascist.

#Finland knows where it’s at and how to vote.

Huge loss for the vatnik #truefinns party in #europeanelection2024.

Center-right Kokoomus and Progressive-Left Vasemmistoliitto were the big winners here.

However, I hear the French still have a problem knowing the difference between trolls that Russia bankrolls and local politicians.. 😓

#Metallica Helsingissä herätti eilen aika erilaisia tunteita kuin 30 vuotta sitten yläaste-ikäisenä.

Fiilis oli oikeastaan välillä enemmän megachurch kuin metallikonsertti, ja siis hyvällä tavalla.

Hetfieldin välispiikit oli ”Metallica family” hommia, susta välitetään, tai sit höpsöjä vitsejä

Moshpitit pyöri ympyrää ja käsien puiminen oli hypnoottista kuin jostakin Barakasta olis katsonut uskonnosta rituaalia.

Mut kukaan ei ottanut itseään turhan tosissaan. Siinä se tärkeä ero sit olikin✌️😄

Trump is testing the mainstream press. He’s saying in every way possible: Yes, I really am going to be a dictator. Yes, I really am going to dismantle the democratic institutions that have defined this country for 250 years. Yes, this really will be the last election, if I win it. And by the way, of course that means the end of a free press.

Now, how are you going to cover this political season? https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam/112576597337880208

I mean, I get it, I truly do, no need to explain.

But there are times when the simpler parts of my brain, not privvy to postmodern reasoning skills, still ask:

”Why am I surrounded by these idiots who derive logically that Israel must be good from the fact that Hamas is bad?”

Then I remember.

it’ll be fascinating to read a hindsight analysis of the #recall debacle in 5 years. i think it represents a significant business failure, maybe a critical one. i know there’s a lot of undercurrents and dynamics at play, it’ll be a great case study down the road
