Highlighting Independent and Solidarity News

Two days ago, a list of individuals who, in many cases have absolutely no other alleged connections to each other, was produced by an activist and student named Kester Ratcliff . The "International Assadists Reference Dictionary," comprised of 151 separate figures, is based on absurd premises and lumps together individuals across the left-wing political spectrum - from social democrats to anarchists to communists to ecologists - with alt-right trolls like Mike Cernovich and UKIP's Paul Joseph Watson. While it has become increasingly common to identify a small sector of (largely American) leftists such as Caitlyn Johnstone as in cahoots with the far right on some issues, this list goes above and beyond that, identifying nearly all prominent figures who could reasonably be described as "left-wing," including Noam Chomsky, Owen Jones, Slavoj Zizek, Jill Stein, Vijay Prashad, Tariq Ali, Leila Khaled and countless others as Assadists before everything else...

Activist outrage has exploded following the decision of Facebook, run by billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, to remove pages and events related to the "No Unite the Right 2- DC," on the grounds that a page related to the protests may have been created by adversarial and inauthentic "bad actors," a term increasingly used to designate anyone online who promotes ideas outside the political consensus in the US and Europe. No real explanation is given at all for the removal of the pages, other than fear-mongering statements that a dastardly plot was supposedly unleashed to get people to attend a protest against white supremacists and alt-right frontmen who have been known to attack and even kill anti-racists like Heather Heyer. Promises to "release more data later," were foreshadowed by assessments that those involved in making them used VPNs and other tools, making them "more sophisticated" than previous alleged efforts by Russia to sw...
