Nat-Socs as an important nonesense

 

2017, neo-Nazi flyers distributed in central Charlottesville, VA.

Calling for the burn of mosques, the rise of the white crusaders, the return of true men instead of the woke "emasculation" of men, the death of "N*****s", the halting of women's right to vote, or work...

These were some of the things I found first hand over platforms like telegram, for groups about National Socialists. A bunch of white 'men' who just can not believe how come all whites are not NatSocs?! -Ugh, those brainwashed bastards, right?!

Beside the priorly mentioned, I can contour the following concepts:

• Purity of White/Aryan race (Reminds of Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra)
• White and Christianity are used synonymously, like: Those kinda white.
• The shade of Christianity they're calling for is basically anti-rights of all sorts:
• Male-dominant
• No work for women
• No voting rights for women
• degeneracy of Black/Afro descendants, LGBTIQ+, Asians, immigrants... You get the picture
• The glorification of abled bodies
• Anti-Abortion
• Speaking about jews seemed like a "I can use them, but I don't respect them" discourse.
• The use of colonialist anthropometrics and eugenics... the same as WWII Fascists and NAZI's used medical "Theories" and experiments to situate their discourse
•  There is a huge obsession and complaint about how SMALL of a number they are, and the need to spread more:
• in terms of mobilization among white people
• in terms of reproducing more (hence I am assuming they will not see a problem with polygamy)

One might mistakenly think that this only in Euro-American societies, but let me insight you to the "brown barbarians" (to quote them) version of these folks:

In SWANA

1. Fitrah (Ar. for Nature), Egypt - Nature is only male =men, and females=women
2. Jnoud Al-Rab (Ar. for Soldiers of the Lord), Lebanon
3. Jnoud Al-fayiha', Lebanon
4. ISIS
5. Taliban
6. Boko haram
7. Israel

The commonality in strategies between both Foes:

A. In terms of justification of existence and strategizing:

• justifying its existence through the continuous production of enemies, both within and beyond its borders
• the two are moving with the same motive: an unwaivering belief that that whatever they believe in right and Any other are demonic and should be exterminated.
• They both try to mobilize on a grassroot level. Gaining as much public aid as possible. This is sometimes through service and charity, or through education in the suburbs.
• Both seek to have their separate economy, but do sometimes due to service provision have government salaries
• Both seek political dominance, and have emperical aims.
• Based on ethnology, religion and nationalism, both rely on core belief systems. Making them nothing less that the armies of lovers (to quote plato), or the crusaders. Both who believed that death for the cause is even better (a.k.a martyrdom).

Aha, and Thou shalt not mix between such movements and armed resistence :) This is for another discussion.

B. Use of Digital Sphere:

Mobilizing over cyber space and utilizing means of propaganda are also means of seeking dominance. In my opinion, this could be one of the reasons for the growing polarization of opinions online/offline. I mean c'mon, ISIS's beheadings y'all.

Spending a fortune over purchasing means of surveillance, in dealerships: according to books such as Palestinian Laboratory, and other historical articles and reports, Israel and other states contributed efficiently in providing the hardware and software as well as intelligence and army trainings, for the majority of authoritarian regimes as well as Defined terrorist groups, such as "Janjaweed or Rapid Support Forces" in Sudan for example. Regardless of the source dealer, the stach should always be found.

D. With all the above mentioned, one shall conclude that:

1. Regimes are nothing but the catalyst for such fundamentalism and ethno fascism. What is deeper is the lobbying/organising, the economy/financial and resources mobilizing, and most of all the ideology.

2. Combatting, is not on the level of regimes, nor shall it be by trying to "make sense" into the publics minds. Trying that is like trying to convince a zombie to not eat humans. You don't make sense to the nonsense, you exterminate it, sense-making is for the powerful

3. Keep the knowlege and the sense to You as an organizer and mobilizer, you need it. If not for infilteration, it would be for knowledge of the enemies.

4. Contest over economy, and be innovative: learn from the people of the countries that gone to war, learn from Feminists and Flack movements that had every fucking system against them. Believe it or not Neo-liberalism Can fall down and IS about to fall down. A beast always pay its last rawr before the slash finishes it.

5. While law is all nice and necessary, know that ethics, morals and laws are 3 different things. Always know the difference to play it well. Any law pr mechanism can and will be used against you with the presence of a forceful authority. Take the UN as an Example.

6. Make your education inter and multi disciplinary: scientists and thinkers in the renaissance of the Islamic and European periods, were amazing for a reason, THIS. They mastered the tools to bring down, but also to Build. The only meter for that was what each scientist/philosopher/poet deeply sought, Knowledge for knowledge, or knowledge for authority?

7. Move with a goal that is deeper and more meaningful than being Anti..., what are you beside that?

8. To all my Queer/Trans folx and their intersectionality, especially in the SWANA: Move with all that you are in your activism, not just your sexuality. Your knowledge and expertize is well needed.

In your context how do you see strategizing possible?

A message to Human Rights Organizers

It is vital now more than ever, that people, especially movement organizers, project handlers etc. to educate themselves. To not wait for the more knowledgeable to rain the information on them. Spend some time to ask google (or Duckduckgo for better options) questions.

You will notice the differences in results geographically, and based on your usual search. This is because - surprise- search results geographically, and politically controlled and manipulated. An example of the political takeover, is the dispute between Mexico and US, after Trump's decision to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps. Google complied, of course! Shyly.

So, in short; seek the information your want; then verify the information necessary from your circle of relevant experts. Don't work in Human rights now if you are not willing to do that labor, and are just fine with being a project implementation and reporting tool.

The Fediverse:

For those who don't know what the fediverse is: "A collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other using a common protocol. Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network." - Wikipedia (Illustrated Below)

what that means is that instead of having X, Meta, Tiktok administrated by that single owning corp., These servers are collectively administered and regulated in terms of community regulations and moderation. It allows more freedom of expression, and more feminist approach towards bodily autonomy and agency to representation, meaning Nude bodies are allowed, and are marked as hidden and/or NSFW. Movement wise; This ought to be a more consistent and coherent option.

Therefore; Philanthropists, NGOs, CSOs, Activists..etc. should be on these platforms (especially now)

A message to philanthropy and Civil Society:

Those of us who still struggle, or who just began struggling under the crippling arbitrary measures of authoritarianism, Fascism, and fundamentalism in some areas (ex. US, EU, India), will be faced - to my speculations- by an even worse measures. Such as, over surveillance and authority over activities; or control over banking accounts etc.

This will be particularly expected within the issues of: LGBTIQ, SOGIESC, Women's rights, SRHR, Labor rights for diversities, Racial equality and rights, disabilities rights, digital rights, and religious minorities rights.

My speculation comes from what we have been facing for the past several years in the SWANA/MENA region, collectively called "shrinking of civil society space".

Measures included, but not only:

1. Incitement against specific NGOs, with moral policing, and accusations of treason.
2.  Societal incitement by government officials/ reps, religious clerks/groups, etc. against racial groups (especially Black/Afro descendant), LGBTIQ+, Women who seek abortion, Women who practice sexual relations in non-heteronormative ways, religious minorities, tribes...etc.
3. Using social media and dating apps as methods of entrapment and persecusion.
4. Legitimization of arbitrary measure, either by issuance of laws, or by usage of state of emergency.
5. Cutting the funds, or controlling the access to funds from NGOs that are not on the vibe of the government.
6. Incitement against international human rights entities and threatening the presence of their representatives in some countries.

Here are the 3 points that I want to pass:

1. It is of utmost necessity for philanthropy and civil society to discuss alternative means of circulating financial transactions. In ways that are accessible, credible, monitorable, and secure. This is due to, the potentiality of closure of bank accounts (Like Egypt), or banks being bombed in war zones (Sudan), or due to country's bankruptcy (like the case of Lebanon).
2. We need to operate according to our Goals as movements, not as a re-action to adversary's actions measures and policies. i.e. see the adversary (right-wing for example) as a pebble in the way, not the point of the whole agenda around combatting.  
3. The decentralization was created for two reasons:
1. The realization of the lethal effect of a singular ownership over platforms and their policies, to rights of expression, access to knowledge and other Eco. Soc. rights.
2. The core belief of W3C (the world wide web consortium) and its founders, about the UNCHANGING rights of people to access knowledge without Biases (but eachone's own opinions); to anonymity as a form of expression for those who come from places or identities persecuted in their own contexts, or marginalized. And there is a vast body of research in Social Anthropology about this topic in specific. Our rights do not change; and are not granted by the same body that takes it away, they are taken by force.

Let me know your two cents.
