“StoneToss” Tossed: Hans Kristian Graebener of Spring, TX

Comics and cartoons can be used to entertain, educate and enlighten. In the case of the right-wing web comic creator StoneToss and his eponymous cartoon, they can also be used to spread racism, antisemitism, xenophobia and anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. Since 2017 StoneToss has been doing just that. It has an exceedingly wide presence among neo-Nazis and white nationalists. The easy-to-digest three- or four-panel comics are accessible vectors for spreading right-wing hate and, as we will show, real-world violence.

Even before StoneToss began its regular program of hateful propaganda, the creator did much the same under the name Red Panels. While many have noticed a stylistic and thematic resemblance between StoneToss and Red Panels, people have debated whether or not the two web comics could be attributed to the same creator. In this report we aim to settle this debate and give the creator an opportunity to explain his views under his real identity: Hans Kristian Graebener of Spring, Texas.

Because it’s the beating heart of the oligarchy that runs the country.

Michael Parenti, Dirty Truths

Those who suffer from conspiracy phobia are fond of saying: “Do you actually think there’s a group of people sitting around in a room plotting things?” For some reason that image is assumed to be so patently absurd as to invite only disclaimers. But where else would people of power get together – on park benches or carousels? Indeed, they meet in rooms: corporate boardrooms, Pentagon command rooms, at the Bohemian Grove, in the choice dining rooms at the best restaurants, resorts, hotels, and estates, in the many conference rooms at the White House, the NSA, the CIA, or wherever. And, yes, they consciously plot – though they call it “planning” and “strategizing” – and they do so in great secrecy, often resisting all efforts at public disclosure. No one confabulates and plans more than political and corporate elites and their hired specialists. To make the world safe for those who own it, politically active elements of the owning class have created a national security state that expends billions of dollars and enlists the efforts of vast numbers of people.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false, it’s enough that Russians are also saying it.

Oh no! Anything but the briar patch! 😂

Removed Comment Once again I’m reminded of how the Holocaust was allowed to happen. Keep posting your silly memes that you use to excuse your beloved president deepthroating a far-right foreign government committing genocide. “Never again” if it’s convenient. Downvote if you love genocide. by hark@lemmy.world

BBC, 2019: Shakil Afridi: The doctor who helped the CIA find Bin Laden

Dr Afridi was the top medic in Khyber tribal district and as head of health services had overseen a number of US-funded vaccination programmes.

As a government employee, he set up a similar hepatitis B vaccination programme, including in the garrison town of Abbottabad, where it turned out Bin Laden was living right under the noses of the military.

The US intelligence plan was to obtain a blood sample from one of the children living in the Abbottabad compound, so that DNA tests could determine whether or not they were relatives of Bin Laden.

Oh, my, god, they added an optional, configurable regular expression filter. The monsters!

The west is legit afraid of Russia’s collapse because once again someone will have to bail Russia out

Most liberals still have no idea what neocolonialism is in general or what shock therapy is in particular.

I had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noopolitik
I think he means Xi and/or Putler bots, because he suffers from BlueAnon conspiracy theories about social media.

I mean, just posting from a lemmy.marxist-lennist account is tankie adjacent right there 🤭

I don’t think Han supremacy/replacement theory has a singular origin. I think it comes from a confluence of:

• Chinese state imperialism theory
• Recycling of white supremacist great replacement theory
• Projection of white supremacy itself
• Rolling up Tibet/Uyghur/Hong Kong into one big undifferentiated ball of Han/CPC oppression

In fact quite the opposite has been happening thanks to China’s affirmative action policies

Almost all the Lemmy instances consist of imperial core labor aristocrats. They’re Western chauvanists. Many of them are tech bros. Many lack class consciousness. They have poor media literacy skills while believing they have excellent skills. They consume their governments’ and corporate media’s propaganda uncritically, unaware that they’re being propagandized. Many of them are as rabidly anticommunist now as people were during the first Cold War.

They’ll regurgitate:

• pooh bear
• tiananmen square
• hong kong
• famine
• uyghur genocide
• secret police stations
• spy balloons
• tiktok
• havana syndrome
• social media bots
• taiwan
• nine dash line
• ghost cities
• tibet
• secret imprisonments & assassinations
• great firewall
• social credit score
• technology theft
• debt trap diplomacy
• han superiority/replacement theory
