So unless something drastic changes here in terms of leadership, this will be my final post on twitter. I never intended on joining Stormfront and this is what this place has now become. Goodbye friends, much love to you all. Stay Beautiful.

It's been great to see the community we once had here rebuilding on Bluesky. Join us and help bury this hellsite for good. P.S. The 'starter pack' system there makes it so easy to follow your interests and grow your network quickly. You can find me here > bsky.app/profile/liamhogan.b…

There is also no algorithm there so what you post will actually be seen by those that follow you, which once upon a time used to be the raison d'être of this website. Now it's just a global propaganda tool used by a fascist billionaire to further his interests. Let it burn.

In our view @X doesn’t comply with the DSA in key transparency areas. It misleads users, fails to provide adequate ad repository and blocks access to data for researchers. It’s the first time we issue preliminary findings under the Digital Services Act. 👇 europa.eu/!CGPVCV

The latest far-right conspiracy theorist to push the “Irish slaves” line is the Musk-promoted racist and anti-semitic extremist E. Michael Jones. Jones has previously described the Civil Rights Movement to end racial segregation as a “Jewish war on the South.”

I was at #TheSugarWife today in the @AbbeyTheatre and I think it’s one of the most important pieces of drama ever staged in Ireland. Stellar cast, incredible direction & *so* much depth to the writing (legacies of the slave trade, capitalism, class & race, to list but a few)

Peterson is pushing far-right talking points once again. It’s been a long term goal of the extreme right to detoxify fascism and ultranationalism by distancing it from its *zenith*. So they try to sow doubt & claim that the Nazis were either socialists or misguided nationalists.
Chris Kavanagh@C_Kavanagh22 Mar 2024
Peterson thinks it’s completely unknown if the Nazis were left or right wing. He had a study planned that could have resolved it but the damn woke mob stole his professorship before he could do it. So now it’s a completely open question.

Old thread on Peterson’s inane but sinister ramblings if anyone is interested.

Peterson: “Speak the truth and see what happens.” Me: Peterson is trying to smear anti-fascism by promoting a sock puppet account as being authentic, when in fact it was solely set up to smear anti-fascism. Reason? Confirmation bias, ideological alignment = no source analysis. xitter.cf/jordanbpeterson/status…

Peterson is just a slightly more articulate Musk. A reactionary, a fellow traveller of the far-right and a vainglorious narcissist who has not done the reading.

Racial Slavery Denialism in 2024: Elon Musk’s “we were all slaves” reactionary position which does not argue that the transatlantic slave trade did not happen, but instead infers that it does not matter and that it has no legacy to understand, accept or reckon with.

I’ve a thread on that abuse of history here.
Liam Hogan@Limerick191423 Apr 2023
This one continues to circulate so let’s assess it briefly. So yes, many thousands of Europeans were made captives & slaves in North Africa. But the claim of “one million white Europeans” enslaved by Barbary corsairs comes from the flawed work of Robert C. Davis.

I’ve broken my own promise here so I’m going to log off now and I’ll hopefully see you again soon.

Replying to @Limerick1914
Musk is instrumentalising this platform to feed reactionary politics and its concomitant disinformation networks. Staying here feels like giving tacit consent to that destructive project. Slán.
