Hartverscheurend laatste beeld van XR-rebel, door beulsknechten van een fossielen-dwangregiem weggesleurd naar het executiepeloton. #Klimaatverandering #Rechtvaardigheid #Activisme
Navraag leert dat zo snel mogelijk wordt ontruimd. Terecht. Deze klimaatactivisten hebben bij herhaling lak aan de wet. Wij rekenen op proces-verbaal én harde straffen. De minister sprak deze week stoere taal. Nu actie: pak dit klimaattuig aan! https://t.co/jvrHguUkeh #Klimaat #Activisme #Wetgeving
This article argues that the impact of activism should not only be measured by actual changes (net impact), but also by the shift in norms and support (support impact) that these movements create, which is crucial for actual change. (translated)
Why Leftist Activists and Revolutionaries Can Never Declare Victory Leftist movements face a paradox: they use oppression narratives to gain institutional power, then keep claiming victimhood as that power grows. Instead of disappearing, activism “shapeshifts” inside bureaucracy, media, academia, corporations, and the arts. Even when DEI is challenged, its structures often remain under new names—diversity becomes “belonging” or “inclusive culture.” The logic is permanent revolution: influence depends on the struggle never ending. Goals shift, new categories of oppression are defined, and intersectionality divides people into ever finer oppressor/oppressed groups, creating an endless hierarchy of grievances. If activists declared victory, the justification for ongoing mobilization would collapse. The risk is social atomization: identities replace shared citizenship, and the state shifts from neutral protector to an instrument for redistributing power between designated victims and oppressors. Bureaucracy and propaganda can replace community and argument. History shows recurring purges—once the revolution’s machinery turns inward, yesterday’s enforcers become today’s targets. The result is also a ressentiment psychology: identity forms around an “enemy,” not one’s own strength. This dynamic helps sustain the consultancy model—identify the guilty, define the aggrieved, and perpetuate conflict. Equality with a finish line is manageable; equality of outcomes is not, so there is always another disparity, injustice, or enemy. The movement fears completion less than failure, because ending would make its power machinery unnecessary.

Bon anniversaire 🎈 à l’un des meilleurs d’entre nous. Fiable, solide, constant, généreux. @DamienRieu Pendant qu’il montait des actions avec Génération Identitaire, j’en menais d’autres avec Femen. Peu de personnes en France savent ce que c’est que de monter de grosses actions, spectaculaires, parfois risquées, et d’engager son corps pour ses idées. Ma vie est différente aujourd’hui, la sienne aussi ; mais j’aurai toujours l’âme d’une activiste, et je suis certaine que lui aussi. Merci pour tout Damien ; vive l’activisme et vive la France 🇫🇷 #Anniversaire #Activisme #France
Acabo de ver las imágenes de la protesta en el evento de Angela Davis: el vato que se ve ya grande hablando y hablando y las morras en silencio sosteniendo las pancartas y Angela sin hablar en un evento sobre feminismo. Es como el peak del estereotipo de vato activista de la UNAM #Feminismo #Protesta #Activismo
Wat we al lang wisten, nu pijnlijk in beeld. Activisme en overheid blijken wel héél dicht tegen elkaar aan te zitten. Wie beïnvloedt wie? Tijd voor volledige openheid! https://t.co/ScyngXV94K #activisme #overheid #transparantie
«Detienen a dos activistas de una ONG por alentar a “grupos violentos” contra las fuerzas de seguridad». Si lo habéis leído bien, es por eso por lo que hay que investigar a fondo a todas estas organizaciones, a sus integrantes, sus operaciones y a quienes las controlan. #DerechosHumanos #Activismo #Justicia
PRO heeft geen hedendaagse Joop den Uyl, geen Wim Kok, geen Wim Meijer, geen André van der Louw… Het heeft niks. PRO is een activistische partij die bestaat uit een aantal kreten met een antisemitische doornenkroon. https://t.co/0lLmvE4IKh #PRO #politiek #activisme
