Immigration is not the problem.
Misinformation fueled by hate is.

"An Garda Siochana and CSO figures show that no causal link between immigration and any form of crime or delinquency has ever been recorded in Ireland. What they do show is a 12% uptick in hate crimes between 2022 and 2023, and a massive surge in misinformation surrounding migrants and criminality."

Remember when the extreme right people would talk about their "Free Speech" rights, and we all knew what they wanted- which was to use "Free Speech" as a pretense to cause harm to Queer folks, and Black folks, and anyone they didn't like.

We called it out. We made fun of them, called it "Freeze Peach", etc.

When someone, under the pretense of "Free Speech", physically assaults someone else, sprays hate messages on their home, shoots at their school, physically blocks them from entering their school or work, gives away maps of where a "certain type of person" lives, etc. that's also not "Free Speech". It doesn't matter what the cause is, and if it's someone from the Left doing it. It's still not okay.

Call it out. Call it Freeze Peach. Call it whatever the hell we need to call it to make it stop.

And if you defend this stuff, then as far as I'm concerned, you can go to the same place as the Proud Boys go.

Even more of #JDPritzker 's eloquent takedown of Trump is at 5:48 in:

"The root that tears apart your house's foundation begins as a seed– a seed of distrust, and hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe, a lifetime ago, didn't arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about… inflation, and looking for someone to blame.

I'm watching with a foreboding dread at what is happening with our country, right now. A President who watches a plane go down in the Potomac, and announces without facts or findings, that a diversity hire is to blame for the crash. Or the Missouri Attorney General who sued Starbucks, arguing that consumers pay too much for their coffee, because the batistas are too female… and non-white.

The #authoritarian playbook is laid bare here. They point to a group of people who don't look like you, and tell you to blame *them* for your problems..." 🧵 3/4

The 'feeling' that X under Musk is a different place than before is quantified in this new study titled 'Substantial Hate'

1️⃣ hate speech up to 50% higher;
2️⃣ hate speech increase persistent;
3️⃣ no reduction in inauthentic accounts

journals.plos.orgX under Musk’s leadership: Substantial hate and no reduction in inauthentic activityNumerous studies have reported an increase in hate speech on X (formerly Twitter) in the months immediately following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform on October 27th, 2022; relatedly, despite Musk’s pledge to “defeat the spam bots,” a recent study reported no substantial change in the concentration of inauthentic accounts. However, it is not known whether any of these trends endured. We address this by examining material posted on X from the beginning of 2022 through June 2023, the period that includes Musk’s full tenure as CEO. We find that the increase in hate speech just before Musk bought X persisted until at least May of 2023, with the weekly rate of hate speech being approximately 50% higher than the months preceding his purchase, although this increase cannot be directly attributed to any policy at X. The increase is seen across multiple dimensions of hate, including racism, homophobia, and transphobia. Moreover, there is a doubling of hate post “likes,” indicating increased engagement with hate posts. In addition to measuring hate speech, we also measure the presence of inauthentic accounts on the platform; these accounts are often used in spam and malicious information campaigns. We find no reduction (and a possible increase) in activity by these users after Musk purchased X, which could point to further negative outcomes, such as the potential for scams, interference in elections, or harm to public health campaigns. Overall, the long-term increase in hate speech, and the prevalence of potentially inauthentic accounts, are concerning, as these factors can undermine safe and democratic online environments, and increase the risk of offline harms.

Another edit: Thank you to those who signed and shared. There are now over 47,700 signatures that Good Law Project are going to personally hand in to OfCom on Monday morning!

People in the UK, would you sign a petition to OfCom, sponsored by the Good Law Project, please?

GB News is spreading hate speech and homophobia, using the old lie that homosexual = child abuser.

You don't need to donate or be a Good Law Project donor, they just want more numbers of people who object to unchallenged lies on TV.

Please boost if you would.
Add tags if you think they would help.

Good Law ProjectOfcom, stop GB News broadcasting hate*CW: Homophobia, hate speech GB News is no stranger to spouting hatred and toxic lies. They take pride in it, and pretend the rules don’t matter. But they do. And they must be enforced. On 22 January, Josh Howie, one of their presenters, repeated a dangerous homophobic slur that links the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. You can watch the video here. It’s clearly illegal to stir up hatred by broadcasting a poisonous myth. Like GB News, Howie thinks he’s above the law. But he’s wrong. And we’re going to show him how.

"In a nearly two-hour interview with right-wing commentator Jordan Peterson, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre emphasized his appeal to young people, said talking about racism was causing more hate crimes, and called for increasing nuclear, hydro and oil and gas energy to help power artificial intelligence and boost the economy."

Most disturbing is how they stoke racial hatred then say that hate crimes have risen by recognizing the hate.

"According to training materials viewed byThe Intercept and other media outlets, Meta users will be able to say things like 'immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit,' 'Black people are more violent than whites,' 'Italians are dickheads,' women are 'household objects' or 'property,' and transgender people are mentally ill. Calling trans people 'trannies' or 'it' is now also acceptable on Meta sites."

To make it explicit blahaj.zone has never federated with Threads. We didn't when threads first came online, we don't today.

Even before Meta made their tolerance of hate speech explicit, Threads allowed hate accounts and took no action against most of the bigotry vulnerable folk faced.

We aren't #fedipact members as such, but as long as Meta/Threads houses and fosters hate they will remain blocked.
