For most of yesterday, the right-wing crowd on X was busy guessing the Kraków shooter’s citizenship and ethnicity. When it turned out he was Polish, they questioned whether he was really Polish, used AI to recreate images, tried to link him to Ukraine, and pushed every possible theory to fit their narrative.
Then more facts came out. The shooter grew up in a right-wing family that owned 13 guns, and the minister himself said the shooter was fascinated by far-right ideas.
Suddenly, the same people who had spent hours spreading speculation were offended when the facts pointed in the direction of their ideology.
How does the saying go? You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
It’s fascinating how quickly the right jumps to questions of nationalism, ethnicity, ideology and identity when trying to explain a crime. Yet, the moment the facts point towards a possible link to far-right ideology, they suddenly get offended by the very same questions.
Kakvo licemjerje isplivava iz ekstremnih desničara kojima sad smeta što je rečeno da je napadač koji je pucao po ljudima u Krakovu bio ultra nacionalista, individualizuju krivicu, a kad neki musliman izvrši napad trče da okrive čitavu religiju za takav čin i kolektivizuju krivicu
Postalo je izvjesno. U Misisipiju, jednoj od najrasističkijih i najkonzervativnijih država u SAD, MAGA kandidatkinja za senatorku će izgubiti od Afroamerikanca. Da paradoks bude veći, on se kandidovao nakon što je ona u Senatu spriječila njegovo imenovanje za federalnog sudiju.
"Nije problem ni u tome što neko drugačije tumači istoriju. Problem je u površnosti i nerijetkoj zluradosti s kojom se to radi, u potrebi da se sagovornik ponizi, a njegova nacionalna svijest predstavi kao istorijska zabluda ili politička izmišljotina." ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Teško je u manje riječi sažeti jednu tako dugu, zamršenu i često mučnu istoriju međusobnih odnosa. Još je teže razumjeti kako je moguće da taj jednostavni vapaj, više od tri decenije kasnije, zvuči gotovo jednako aktuelno.

The last time Kansas elected a Democratic Senator, Herbert Hoover was president, Babe Ruth was playing for the Yankees, and Elvis hadn’t been born.

Inače, u Teksasu je Mask potrošio skoro pola milijarde dolara na podršku republikanskim kandidatima tamo, tako da je ovo i njegov poraz.
I Teksas je izabrao demokratskog senatora nakon skoro 40 godina, ali tamo to čak i nije najšokantnija stvar jer je i GREG ABOT IZGUBIO izbore za guvernera 🤯 Sad je pitanje i da li Teksas od jasno crvene postaje ljubičasta država i za predśedničke izbore.

Brazil. Serbia. Israel (perhaps). America. The self correcting resilience of democracy. It takes time, true. But testimony that ordinary voters defend democracy (no 2 issue in the US exit poll). And protected by the courts, elections matter. A reality check for authoritarian leaders.
Vrlo agresivni gerrymandering Republikanaca izbornih jedinica za Predstavnički dom na Floridi totalno propao. Izgleda da neće uzeti nijedan od 4 mandata koji su htjeli tako da osvoje.
