It was wonderful to be reunited with @cfieschi.bsky.social
and @rosabalfour.bsky.social and to discuss the threat of the far right. The whole discussion is now online.
The latest blog is up! Following on from Prof. Paul Jackson's look at dogwhistles, Dr Dan Jones talks about how the extreme right have engaged with environmentalism - using mainstream language to cloak concept-dense narratives. www.northampton.ac.uk/research-blo...

🚨New article🚨

„Deutschland ist ein schwarzes Loch, was antifeministische Finanzierung angeht“ – so der Soziologe Andreas Kemper.
Die Bedrohung durch Antifeminismus muss dringend als solche erkannt werden: Nur so können wir ihr systematisch und flächendeckend entgegenwirken.

At 12 @errnetwork.bsky.social is hosting Prof. Roger Griffin, author of – among many things – Nature of Fascism. Prof. Griffin will be in discussion with @pnjackson.bsky.social , exploring how we define and conceptualise the extreme right and the dynamics that they draw upon.
What Goodwin's reaction shows is that reactionaries claim to talk for "the people" but truly hate the people and them having a say in how things should be run
It shouldn't surprise us that reactionaries are elitist and anti-democracy obviously and yet this has been obscured through skewed coverage
Went for an early evening curry. My coat snagged on the corner of the neighbouring table and tipped all the glasses etc onto the floor 😱 absolute mortification. Left a £10 tip.
