  • Antifascism - a parasite living off the memory of fascism

    1 week ago | frankfuredi.substack.com | Frank Furedi

    The old Bolshevik revolutionary, Leon Trotsky took the words out of my mouth when in 1939 he wrote that the ‘very concepts of “anti-fascism” and “anti-fascist” are fictions and lies[i]’. Elsewhere Trotsky stated that ‘ “Anti-fascism” is nothing, an empty concept used to cover up Stalinist skulduggery[ii]. Stalinist skulduggery is certainly in evidence in Brussels, the city that claims to be the anti-fascist capital of Europe.

The unashamed declaration of MAGA in the United States highlights the shift in balance from a globalised and cosmopolitan conception of the world order to one where the pursuit of national interest is self-consciously pursued.

  • The hilarious meltdown of men who think they’re women

    3 weeks ago | spiked-online.com | Brendan O'Neill |Frank Furedi

    I’ve found my soundtrack for spring: the caterwauling of fellas in dresses following text. It’s delicious. They’re raging about the ‘fascism’ of no longer being allowed to get their knobs out in the women’s changing room. They’re agonising over where they’re supposed to take a shit now.
