Steven Bonk on X - "The Liberals shut down farming research stations across Canada. Then they gave $160,000 to fund two grotesque “art” shows, including a theatrical performance featuring actors playing sexualized 13-year-old twin boys doing “sexy dances,” stripping naked, and performing a “blood sacrifice.”"
Now systemic racism is driving ANIMALS out of deprived urban areas as creatures ditch poor areas - "Scientists claim that there are fewer wild animals in neighborhoods where mostly people of color live - and their absence is affecting residents' mental health. A research study that looked into the genetic diversity of wildlife in neighborhoods across the United States found government rules that previously mandated separated neighborhoods based on race, is still having lingering after-effects on where animals choose to live decades on. The study suggests that areas where mostly white people live have a greater diversity when it come to animals living in the area. Areas with less diversity could also be having negative effects on both the mental and physical health of the people who live in such 'deprived' neighborhoods. The findings were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed scientific journal."
How Biased is the Criminal Justice System? - "an interesting new meta-analysis by Chris Ferguson and Sven Smith about race and class bias in the U.S. criminal justice system. TL; DR: For most crimes, the researchers found no compelling evidence that Blacks or Hispanics receive harsher sentences than Whites or Asians, and no compelling evidence that poorer defendants receive harsher sentences than wealthier ones. They did find evidence for racial bias in sentencing for drug crimes, but the effect sizes were very small. Higher quality studies found less evidence for bias, as did studies exhibiting lower levels of citation bias."

Just a little melancholic, maybe a little blue: Mental health as an emerging political identity. - "Is mental health an emerging political identity? In the first study that investigates experiencing mental illness as a political identity, I find that it is. Using a nationally representative survey of Americans fielded in the 2022 CES (N = 1,000), I answer the question: “For whom is mental illness a political identity?” I adapt Jardina’s work (White Identity Politics. 1st ed. Cambridge University Press, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108645157.) to create mental health identity and mental health alienation batteries that examine closeness with the ingroup, importance of identification to self, strength of identification within the ingroup, and alienation. I find that people who have experienced mental illness feel close to others who have experienced mental illness. They are also likely to self-categorize as having or having had a mental illness, share a sense of group consciousness with others who have or had mental illness, and recognize the need to work together to change laws that are unfair to people with mental illness. I further find that there is an emerging mental health political identity that is most pronounced among younger (Gen Z) and more liberal Americans. I also find that the emerging mental health identity has political predictors and political consequences. Those who self-categorize and have high scores on the mental health identity and/or alienation scales are just as likely to participate politically and use (social) media, on average, as those who do not self-categorize and have low scores on the mental health identity and/or alienation scales. In addition, there is a strong association between mental health categorization, identification, and alienation and the expressed desire for increased healthcare, education, and welfare spending. Finally, I find that the political predictors and political consequences for the emerging mental health identity differ from those for physical disability and serious physical illness categorization and identification. These findings have far-reaching consequences for mental health advocacy and the role mental health identity will play in the political sphere—especially as Gen Z matures as a cohort."
Mental health might be emerging as a source of political identity, study finds - "Senator Tina Smith is a prominent advocate for mental health who has sponsored multiple pieces of mental health legislation during her tenure in the U.S. Senate. In one of her speeches on the Senate floor, she stated that mental health is one of her top priorities and that one of the reasons for this is that she also struggles with depression. She described her condition with the words “I’m one of them,” referring to people with mental illness, indicating that having a mental illness might be a basis for a political identity. Study author Lauren Van De Hey posed the following question: If political elites are beginning to think about their own mental health condition in terms of political identity, do citizens also think about their own mental health in terms of political identity?... Approximately one-half of study participants with mental illness stated that their identity as a person with a mental health illness is very important or somewhat important to them. These percentages were somewhat lower for individuals with a physical disability or chronic illness... those who self-categorize as having suffered from mental illness and have high scores on mental health identity are just as likely to participate politically as those who do not self-categorize. This is notable, as having a physical disability typically lowers voter turnout and political participation."
Time for more "awareness" about mental health, and to intensify grievance mongering, so more people will be radicalised into pushing the left wing agenda
Clearly, conservatives are just in denial and refuse to seek help, and no one ever wants to think that they have a problem. Overdiagnosis is never a possibility, even though people with actual physical and/or objective illnesses are less likely to treat it as an identity.

Feasting on rich food and drinking local wine is just being very French, not far-Right - "Thousands of jolly people sitting cheek by jowl at long tables, feasting on charcuterie, duck magret, suckling pig and artisan cheeses and drinking generous lashings of local wine. So far, so French. In France, food and gastronomy are often seen as metaphors for national identity. But today, the mega-banquets run by Le Canon Français (The French Cannon), launched five years ago to celebrate terroir and cuisine, find themselves in hot water. They are being accused of “gastro-nationalism”, a xenophobic weaponisation of French food. Le Canon Français is the brainchild of two entrepreneurs, Pierre-Alexandre Mortemard de Boisse and Géraud de la Tour, who launched their start-up in the wake of the pandemic to support local winegrowers and food producers... The events are attended by people from the rural and peri-urban areas of la France profonde (the non-Parisian French heartland). And Parisian elites find overt displays of patriotism distasteful... Shockingly, the firm’s founders and some of their suppliers, from winegrowers to bakers, have received death threats. They vigorously deny being a Right-wing vehicle, and deplore what they see as a desire to “politicise cheese and charcuterie”."

Irish Muslim Council Condemns Arson Attack on Talbot Street Mosque - "The Irish Muslim Council strongly condemns today’s shocking arson attack on a Mosque on Talbot Street in Dublin city centre. The reported petrol bomb attack, carried out on a Monday afternoon in broad daylight, is a deeply disturbing assault on a place of worship and an attack on the fundamental values of peace, religious freedom and community safety that Ireland holds dear... On numerous occasions, individuals associated with the far right entered the mosque, livestreamed worshippers on social media platforms, interrogated members of the congregation, and spread inflammatory and false narratives portraying Muslims as a threat to Irish society. Such campaigns of harassment and dehumanisation are reckless and dangerous. While the Garda investigation will determine the circumstances surrounding today’s attack, sustained hate-filled rhetoric and organised intimidation create an environment in which extremists may feel emboldened to commit acts of violence. The Irish Muslim Council has repeatedly warned about the growing threat posed by anti-Muslim hatred and far-right extremism. Today’s attack demonstrates that when hatred is normalised and incitement is left unchecked, the consequences can be grave... We also urge political leaders, social media companies and all sectors of society to confront hate speech, organised intimidation and extremist propaganda before further violence occurs. The Muslim community has long been an integral part of Irish society, contributing positively to every aspect of national life. We will not be intimidated by those who seek to divide our communities through fear and hatred. We remain committed to working with people of all faiths and backgrounds to uphold the values of mutual respect, justice and peaceful coexistence."
Good luck if you confront "pro-Palestine" hate speech, organised intimidation and extremist propaganda, or other flavours of those that Muslims are involved in
“The far-right will not win,” say PBP, after arson attack on Muslim prayer hall - "Ballymun-Finglas councillor Conor Reddy said, “this is a frightening incident and our full solidarity is with the Muslim community in Dublin and with everyone who worships at Al-Madinah.” “An attack on a mosque or prayer hall is an attack on all of us, and on the diverse, inclusive city that Dublin should be,” he said. “This is shocking, but sadly it is not surprising; there has been a febrile climate of racism, and Islamophobia whipped up in this country,” Reddy asserted. “We have seen attacks on IPAS centres and homes, harassment on our streets, and a growing confidence among racist and far-right forces.” Reddy stated, “this hatred does not come from nowhere; it is driven forward by far-right figures in Ireland, elected and unelected, linked to an international far-right ecosystem around figures like Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk, and then echoed, softened and normalised by sections of the political establishment who dog whistle and toy with racism to divide us.” The People Before Profit councillor stated “we got a glimpse of this in action during the Dublin Central by-election when former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said he was ‘worried about the next generation of Muslims in Ireland’ while speaking to a constituent who was recording him as he canvassed her home. “That kind of rhetoric feeds the atmosphere we are now seeing. It casts Muslims as a threat, as outsiders, as people to be watched or feared,” he claimed."
Man arrested after arson attack on Dublin Islamic centre - "While witnesses reportedly heard the man shouting racially abusive comments, Irish broadcaster RTÉ said the authorities do not believe the attack was linked to racist or far-right motives."
Iranian national arrested in relation to Talbot Street arson - "The man arrested yesterday in relation to a fire that Gardaí believe was deliberately started at a Muslim prayer centre on Talbot Street is “an Iranian national who, sources say, has had a grievance against the Islamic prayer hall,” it has been reported... Garda sources also clarified to several media outlets that they did not believe ‘far-right or racist’ elements were involved. Despite this, speculation continued online, and several national media outlets carried claims in comments today that the attack was a reflection of far-right hatred and demonstrated what could happen when “incitement is left unchecked”."
Weird. Why would he be "racially abusive" towards (other?) Muslims

There is a very obvious sadistic side to Progressivism's hijacking of things like movies and video games. These people do not love the media they're destroying, They're not trying to make something good. They just want revenge against the normal world. They want the actual fans to feel alienated and dispossessed, That's the entire point. And every so often, someone is bold enough to admit it."

SPLC Paid KKK Members Not to Leave Movement: Indictment - "The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly paid at least three people who wanted to leave the white supremacist movement not to do so... The organization has maintained that it paid these informants in order to alert law enforcement to extremist violence before it happened, and some of the informants’ information did lead to prosecutions. However, the indictment claims some of the SPLC money actually went to prop up the organizations—and the superseding indictment reveals more details of the allegations. The superseding indictment alleges that the “field sources” used the money from the Southern Poverty Law Center to grow extremist groups. Field sources used the money to attend and host “extremist group rallies”; grow and create “new chapters of extremist groups”; recruit new members; donate to extremist group leaders; “purchase materials for cross burnings; purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods”; and more. One of the field sources, identified as “F-9,” reportedly had a romantic relationship with an SPLC employee. F-9 infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance and received $140,000 from the SPLC. F-9 shared bank accounts with the SPLC employee, who used the cash to pay for the couple’s personal living expenses... The field source identified as F-30, who led the National Socialist Party of America, was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and led a faction of the Aryan Nations that had chapters in approximately 17 states, reached out to the SPLC while “seeking to get out of the white nationalist movement.” An SPLC employee “offered F-30 a monthly salary of approximately $2,500.00 in addition to payment of expenses to continue to lead and maintain the violent extremist organization F-30 told the SPLC employee he wanted to leave,” according to the superseding indictment. The SPLC used the shell company Rare Books to pay F-30 more than $70,000 in donor funds between 2010 and 2016, according to the indictment. “F-30 used donors’ money to, among other things, travel to extremist rallies, host extremist rallies, donate money to leaders of other extremist organizations, recruit new members into his extremist organization, publish racist and extremist material for the purpose of recruiting new members, … and create racist paraphernalia to sell at rallies to raise money for his extremist organization,” the indictment states. “This was known to certain employees as they continued to secretly funnel donors’ money to F-30.” Two more “field sources,” identified as F-31 and F-32, were members of a Ku Klux Klan organization who “feared for their safety from other Klan members and wanted out of the movement.” They reached out to the SPLC after seeing news reports about the center helping another person leave an extremist group. “Despite their requests for help getting out of the movement, an SPLC employee encouraged F-31 and F-32 to stay in the movement and offered to pay them a $1,200.00 monthly salary as well as pay for expenses as incurred,” the indictment recounts. “Once they were financially backed by the SPLC to do so, F-31 and F-32 agreed to remain in the movement.” The SPLC employee directed these field sources to falsely state they received the money for helping college students write and research essays, the indictment claims. Using this money, F-31 and F-32 “attended extremist group rallies in multiple states,” and the activity led F-31 to rise to “a leadership role within an extremist group.” In that role, “F-31 actively recruited new members using donors’ money.” “F-32 also participated in recruiting new members using donors’ money,” the indictment adds. “In addition, an SPLC employee knew that F-32 used donors’ money to purchase material to make Ku Klux Klan garments for others.” The SPLC also allegedly reimbursed these field sources for the expenses they incurred for cross-burning events."

The DOJ’s Bogus Allegations Against the SPLC Are a Dog Whistle to White Nationalists | The Nation
Exclusive | SPLC employee who paid neo-Nazi lover $1.2 million unmasked - "“Employee-2” wrote an article based on material stolen from National Alliance headquarters in 2014 and then paid off an informant to take the blame for the robbery. Based on the details in the June 2 superseding indictment, “Employee-2” is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a 58-year-old fascism expert who was the director of intelligence at the Alabama-based anti-extremism nonprofit between 2012 and 2019... “Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account … and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich]. “This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. [Beirich] then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses.”... The indictment then describes how the SPLC tried to cover up who their informant was by paying a second informant “approximately $6,000” to take responsibility for the burglary... By 2013, the National Alliance had effectively ceased to exist. That year, group chairman Erich Gliebe — a former boxer nicknamed the Aryan Barbarian — had sent a letter to followers saying the group was ending its membership program that September, writing they were abandoning dues-paying chapters in favor of a “supporter-based” structure. Membership had collapsed from 1,400 to around 20 in less than a decade. Despite the internal chaos and decline, the following year the SPLC began bolstering the group’s public profile, writing nearly a dozen articles about the organization. Tax filings reviewed by The Post show Beirich earned $190,000 a year in salary and benefits from the SPLC before her departure... In April, The Post exclusively unmasked other informants mentioned in the indictment, including a one-legged Imperial Wizard in the KKK named Bradley Scott Jenkins who took the nonprofit’s money while revitalizing a once-defunct KKK splinter group"
