#xenophobic

The Congressional #Hispanic Caucus [#CHC] released a statement hitting back at the #Republicans attack on its chairperson.

“This #xenophobic rhetoric from #Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the #law, get your papers, become a #citizen, get elected to #Congress — swear multiple #oaths to protect & defend the #Constitution — & all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an ‘illegal immigrant,’” the group wrote in a post.

Continued thread

#Espaillat accused #Trump of fostering an “environment of fear among the immigrant community” during his Tues night speech, & told a story about a US citizen who had been wrongfully detained by #ICE as part of Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

The #NRCC, which once posted a wildly #xenophobic ad showing AI-generated images of immigrants flooding US national parks, issued a new installment in its catalogue of extremely #racist posts, this time targeting Espaillat.

*Bloody asylum seekers-comin' over 'ere eating the fish out of communal ponds; and-AND they're eating the seagulls as well!* (a la Stewart Lee's "coming over here")

How dare they treat our ponds like a sashimi buffet!!?

And the evidence? Pond-side fishmongery would be a messy business. Perhaps it's enough to simply see people you suspect of being foreign and accuse them of crimes? I'll take this #xenophobic nonsense with the very large pinch of salt it deserves 🙄

#Georgescu has praised Romania’s 1930s #fascist leaders & lauded #Russia’s … #Putin as “a man who loves his country”. Polls show he has a clear lead in the 4 May rerun, although it is not certain that he will be allowed to stand.

The promotion of fascist leaders & #Nazi, #racist or #xenophobic symbols are banned under Romanian #law & carry a prison sentence, although cases have rarely been brought to court.

Continued thread

Amid claims of “massive” social media promotion, #Georgescu, who was polling in single digits before the ballot & declared zero campaign spending, has denied any wrongdoing….

Prosecutors said earlier that they had raided 47 addresses of Georgescu’s associates as part of an investigation into alleged offences including “establishing an organisation with a #fascist, #racist or #xenophobic character” & “false statements” regarding campaign financing.

Free Speech and #tiktok ? You can't be serious?
In Austria, experiments were made by teenagers who started TikTok without any "history", no prior clicks either, merely their names, age and location for registration. The TikTok algorithm recommended to them #xenophobic speeches of #farright politicians, Islamic preachers, videos about Trump and even offers of naturalization in #russia .

The results of the experiment were forwarded to the European Commission.

“Today, eco-fascist rhetoric has been adopted by far-right groups around the world, who are now co-opting concerns around overpopulation, globalization, and the climate crisis to spread their own xenophobic messages.”

“Eco-fascism is an insidious ideology that has the potential to tap into some of the most festering anxieties of a younger population.”

They're eating the dogs,
they're eating the cats,
they're eating the pets
of the people living there.

Yo, Donnie: Just be glad "they" (them versus us, anyone?) are not eating them bats. That did not turn out that well last time around.

On another note, blaming #immigrants of eating dogs and cats is a very old #xenophobic trope. And this nonsense about #Springfield originates from fringe-right bubbles.

About point 5


See three comments above. I'm already trying. But I'm pretty sure I'm not nearly trying hard enough.

I can't call out behaviour that I don't see. And I don't see any racist, sexist, misogynist, ableist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic etc. behaviour in my stream, simply because I've semi-muted some 85% of my contacts to keep as much off-topic cruft away from my stream as possible.

All I can do is adapt my own way of posting and minimise the damage I'm potentially dealing. But even that's limited. Take image posts, for example. My image descriptions can't possibly not be ableist to someone, even if each one of my images has two descriptions. My pictures of @juno may potentially be sexist to say the least. And I still haven't replaced my profile pictures with images without eye contact to protect neurodiverse users.

My own contacts aren't intersectional enough themselves. I have at least one, maybe two Black women amongst the 15% who are permitted to send me their posts. But even that one trans woman amongst these 15% is white. And I do not follow anyone first who doesn't have anything to say that's interesting within the scope of my channel.

#Republicans pushed #xenophobic #lies at the #RNC

In his rambling acceptance speech at the RNC in Milwaukee Thurs night, #Trump unsurprisingly doubled down on anti-immigrant messaging, saying things like: “You know who’s taking the jobs, the jobs that are created? 107% of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens.”

@atax1a@infosec.exchange @theothersimo @jdp23

there are indeed millions of #xenophobic #racists in the #usa

in fact, many are motivated to move against #tiktok strictly on racist concerns

however when i cite the #chinese *govt*, not #china, not its people, not its culture, and you go "so you're #racist" you're nothing but a smearmongering #troll

when #taiwan moved against tiktok, is that #sinophobia?

you think there's maybe some other concerns here, geopolitics professor?

f*** you, weak troll
