Arto Koskelo wrote that as a result of the radicalization of Finnish right-wing politics, Sanna Ukkola seemed centrist in 2026. He recalled that Ukkola and Ivan Puopolo were prominent figures of the woke radical left in 2021 and used a derogatory term referring to Nazism for them. Koskelo described both as quite centrist and moderate. #politiikka #Suomi #oikeistolaisuus (translated)

Emrah Erken criticized the UN Human Rights Council and Navi Pillay. He wrote that the body had condemned Israel for human rights violations a total of 116 times since its founding in 2006, while China, Turkey, and Qatar had not been condemned even once. The United Nations, he claimed, had turned human rights into a weapon against the West, particularly Israel. Pillay served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014. During this time, the Human Rights Council never condemned China, Erken wrote. UN Watch and former UN employee Emma Reilly accused Pillay of having passed the names of more than 50 dissidents, including Uighurs, to China under her leadership. Additionally, Pillay stayed away from the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2010 in honor of the imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Erken further wrote that Pillay later led a UN commission of inquiry that accused Israel of genocide and previously signed calls for sanctions against Israel. In 2012, she criticized the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its Muhammad cartoons, describing the drawings as malicious and intentionally provocative. Critics also accused her of opting for appeasement and restrictions on freedom of expression rather than defending it in the debate over Muhammad cartoons. Erken called it a shame that Pillay would receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize, and expressed opposition to post-colonialism, the "Woke Left," and Pillay. #Menschenrechte #UN #Israel (translated)

Defense Minister Pete Hegseth is implementing increasingly extreme measures in the U.S. military, including mandatory testosterone checks for older soldiers and the announcement of a public execution of death row inmate Nidal Hasan, as part of his vision for a macho culture and a 'war against woke.' #Defensie #Machocultuur #PeteHegseth (translated)

This minister wants nothing to do with what he calls ‘woke behavior’. Anything that leans towards inclusivity and diversity, he dismisses. Hegseth believes that traditional male-female relationships and hierarchy within the armed forces should be restored. He sees modern progressive policy as a threat. He wants to get rid of all ‘softies’ and advocates for the ultimate macho culture. #Machocultuur #Defensie #Executie (translated)

Spot said he felt proud to have become what he called the “woketron 2000.” He recounted growing up surrounded by right-wing people and by homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of prejudice. He also attributed the media he consumed in childhood with having saved him. #Orgulho #Inclusão #Aceitação (translated)

Simon Betschinger described BMW's decision not to provide a company car to the AfD as irrational in a contribution referencing a WELT report. He wrote that the AfD is currently polling at 30 percent voter support; the BMW Group sold 290,742 vehicles in Germany last year. BMW risks losing potential buyers who are AfD voters as a result. Betschinger warned of a similar "Go woke, go broke" effect as seen with Bud Light: Its sales in the U.S. have dropped by about 25 percent after the brand took a stance against the Republican Party. #BMW #AfD #Politik (translated)

Poponze wrote that Renan Santos, from the Mission, criticized Lucas Pavanato, from the PL, for prioritizing agendas against transgender people. Santos stated that, although he considered the woke discourse exaggerated, the reaction to it was also inappropriate. He added that voters had chosen politicians whose campaigns focused on the use of bathrooms by transgender people while major national issues were left aside. #DireitosHumanos #Política #Transfobia (translated)

Raisa Blommestijn wrote that according to her, only the Dutch flag should be hanging on the building of the House of Representatives.

Oliver Gorus wrote that BMW apparently believes itself to be morally superior to a third of the population. He asked how many AfD voters worked at BMW and how many BMW drivers voted for the AfD. He called this a clear own goal and referred to the slogan "Go woke, go broke." #BMW #AfD #Moralität (translated)

Heimatgefühl called it a scandal that BMW had canceled the contract offer for a service car to AfD parliamentary president Tobias Rausch after his election. The author referred to the role of the company during the Nazi era: BMW had become an important armaments company and had greatly benefited from German rearmament. The company produced motorcycles for the Wehrmacht, especially the BMW R75 sidecar, as well as the standard passenger car BMW 325 intended for the Wehrmacht from 1938 to 1940. Heimatgefühl referred to the AfD as a democratic party and called it absurd to deny her a service car. In conclusion, the author demanded to continue in this manner and used an English slogan that linked "woke" politics with economic decline. #Skandal #BMW #AfD (translated)

Since his return to power, Trump has tirelessly confronted the institution of elite education in the United States, accusing it of promoting progressive (woke) ideology and antisemitism or ruining women's sports by allowing the participation of trans athletes. #Trump #Universidades #VisadosJ1 (translated)

U.M. OSINT announced that he had informed the responsible district association of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen about his departure from the party in the afternoon. He stated that he was left-liberal and had originally become a member because the Greens had become more liberal. However, he can no longer support the development of the party since the last legislative period, particularly its positioning on Palestine, left-wing extremism, and terrorism. He cited the concessions made by the Greens to Die Linke in Berlin as a decisive reason, which he described as vague and unsubstantial. He criticized the Greens for not demanding any concrete consequences, such as the resignation or expulsion of Koçak, the dissolution of the Neukölln Linke association, or the working group on Palestine solidarity. He referred to alleged connections of the group to terrorism apologists and possible links to the PFLP. U.M. OSINT accused the Greens of effectively granting amnesty to left-wing enemies of democracy and terrorism supporters for the sake of maintaining power. In his view, the party has thereby forfeited any right to demand other parties distance themselves from the AfD. He also criticized the SPD and predicted that for them, it would increasingly be about achieving double-digit results in upcoming elections. Furthermore, he criticized political compromises made to maintain participation in government and warned of lasting damage to Berlin, particularly regarding investments and jobs. He stated that he no longer wants to disclose future party memberships publicly and expressed curiosity about the upcoming elections in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. #Grüne #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Snicklink wrote that right-wing politics have now become mainstream and the bonus of being an outsider is over. Governments across half of Europe have now involved right-wing parties; there is hardly a way in which the AfD will not soon be part of the government or come to power. He characterized the political battle as won. Debates about the right to say certain things, "wokeness," and gendering were classified by Snicklink as themes of the year 2023 that are only still resonating. How politics will develop regarding mass migration and deportations remains to be seen. He also expressed doubts about whether the euphoric declarations of freedom of speech would actually apply to all opinions. If it were only about being able to express one's own views freely, in his estimation, that would not be freedom of speech but rather a renewed insistence on one's own opinion as the only permissible position. Snicklink described this as another transition of overlapping cycles and stated that he does not know how it will proceed. #Politik #Meinungsfreiheit #Rechtspopulismus (translated)

Thanos said that gov.gr had a chance to align with forces that, as he claimed, would save Europe and civilization. He added that if it had taken advantage of this, it would not have had unpleasant surprises, and urged it to abandon woke ideas and focus its attention on developments in the world. #ευρώπη #πολιτισμός #ευκαιρία (translated)

Aggelos Chorianopoulos wrote that, in his view, the birthplace of the West was threatened by bad decisions, inertia, and failure to address challenges. He called for an end to the woke agenda and its representation in Greece, irregular immigration, and what he described as an extreme left deep state, which, he said, was being treated with leniency. He also requested that the infrastructures for integration into IMEC and G.S.I. be stopped, adding that there had been no war for an underwater cable. #Ελλάδα #Ασφάλεια #Πολιτική (translated)
