#France far-right leader Marine #LePen was banned from running for public office for 5yrs after being convicted on Monday of #embezzlement, a political watershed that effectively ruled her out of the 2027 presidential race.
The court's ruling was a catastrophic setback for Le Pen, the #NationalRally (#RN) party chief who has long been one of the most prominent figures of #Europe’s #FarRight & is the front-runner in polls for the 2027 contest.

"A French court handed far-right leader Marine Le Pen a five-year ban on running for office on embezzlement charges Monday, dashing her ambitions of standing in the 2027 presidential race unless she successfully appeals."

Far right politicians, ideologues and dogmatists are ultimately hypocrites for they argue as if their beliefs are socially applicable when they are anything but.
Such people never believe in solidarity or cooperation but only force. Such people simply want their own way at any cost.
Its the philosophy of babies and young children who bawl, scream and kick up a fuss if they can't have it all their own way. And its why they are often simply criminals and crooks.
Immigration is not the problem. Misinformation fueled by hate is.
"An Garda Siochana and CSO figures show that no causal link between immigration and any form of crime or delinquency has ever been recorded in Ireland. What they do show is a 12% uptick in hate crimes between 2022 and 2023, and a massive surge in misinformation surrounding migrants and criminality."

…. plays into the hands of Reform!
Exactly!
It’s as plain as a f*cking pikestaff that political non-entity #KidStarver’s Liberal/ Centrist/ Elite Labour Party are creating the conditions for the FarRight to take power (or at least gain a large number of parliamentary seats) at the next election!
As Jonathan Cook rightly wrote:
“Labour: Starmer is paving the way for the triumph of dark politics”

"#Liberals in the West – on our campuses and in our politics – have contributed to an anti-Palestinian hysteria by carving a ‘#PalestineException’ into their liberalism. What they have chosen to overlook – the ethnocratic, racist character of the Israeli state; its brutal, authoritarian policies towards #Palestinians – has now been embraced as a model for their own societies by #Trump and the #farRight."

hundreds of bots localized to Russia’s Internet Research Agency influencing the Brexit

Which just reminded me of the famous case of 200 bots amplifying disinformation campaigns about the integrity of the American elections a few years ago:
"We found that this group of 200 accounts either generated or were mentioned in over 140 million tweets last year."

I wonder if further investigation was done to check if the "voter fraud" disinformation campaign in the US had Russian hands.
And this case in the US happened when there was more moderation in the platform. Now there's an overt agenda of the far right, amplified by X and its owner.
The newly empowered fossil fascists are setting an example on #greenpeace and defenders of #standingrock, in order to deter climate activists and native communities from defending the land against #fossilfuels and extractivism.
None of this is normal. #farright Authoritarians worldwide are emboldening #oilandgas companies to act without any accountability, while #climatechange is already destroying communities.
Climate activists everywhere need to get their shit together and resist now.
