Russo-Ukrainian war 2022

edit

There is a serious double standard in pages on Wagner Group and Azov Battalion. On the Wagner Group's page, only two sentences in the second paragraph of the lede are dedicated to political points or war crimes. This is despite the group's well-known attachment to neo-Nazism and far-right views, as well as strong evidence of repeated, systematic war crimes. In contrast, close to half of the lede on the Azov Battalion is dedicated to the group's purported neo-Nazi values and to alleged war crimes. Some of the academic experts in Ukraine or far-right politics who have written on the Azov Battalion in 2022:

Dr Anton Shekhovtsov, a Vienna-based Ukrainian expert:

“Azov’s history is rooted in a volunteer battalion formed by the leadership of a neo-Nazi group. But it is certain that Azov has depoliticised itself,” ...“Its history linked to the far-right movement is pretty irrelevant today.”

Dr Andreas Umland at the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies.

"In 2014 this battalion had indeed a far-right background, these were far-right racists that founded the battalion," said Andreas Umland at the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies. But it had since become "de-ideologised" and a regular fighting unit, he told AFP. Its recruits now join not because of ideology but because "it has the reputation of being a particularly tough fighting unit," Umland said.

Dr Ivan Gomza, Head of the Department of Public Governance at Kyiv School of Economics.

...These concerns [about Azov and its links to neo-Nazism] are neither new nor well-grounded. It is certainly true that Azov was an ultra-nationalist and even neo-Nazi organization at its founding. The movement originated in the far-right culture and used Nazi symbols. Its leaders tried to build transnational alliances with organizations skeptical about liberalism and democracy, and some members made statements that could fairly be described as sympathetic with fascism. However, like any militant and social movement, it has evolved beyond its origins...

Thankfully many journalistic sources, even without expert opinion, have moved to a more nuanced description of the Azov Battalion. The Guardian:[1] Global News (CA): [2]

The persistence of sources that use the "neo-Nazi" designator is largely because of a lack of area expertise among Western journalists. Furthermore, it should be obvious that the nature of Azov has changed markedly and that no sources from 2014, prior should be used as RS on Azov now. In short, the lede is neither accurate nor consistent with pages on other military units. Change is necessary and urgent.



"Nationalist regiment with neo-Nazi roots... ultranationalist Azov Regiment, whose neo-Nazi roots have been used by Russia to justify its invasion of Ukraine" but now depoliticised [3]

"In 2014 this battalion had indeed a far-right background, these were far-right racists that founded the battalion," said Andreas Umland at the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies. But it had since become "de-ideologised" and a regular fighting unit, he told AFP. Its recruits now join not because of ideology but because "it has the reputation of being a particularly tough fighting unit," Umland said.[4]

Perhaps mostly prominently, Anton Shekhovtsov

Anders Umland:

Ivan Gomza:

There is a double standard here; for example, the well-known far right politics of the Wagner Group are not mentioned in the opening sentence on that page. I think it's clear that based on the most contemporary and rigorous sources, the uncritical designation of 'Neo-Nazi' needs urgent amending. I think a reasonable alternative would be something like

The Azov Regiment are a unit of the Ukrainian National Guard. They are frequently described as Neo-Nazi, while other sources contest this designation.[1][2][3][4]


That said, I think I'm more thorough assessment could read something like "the Azov Battalion have variously been described as Neo-Nazi, having neo-Nazi roots, or neo-Nazi leadership, while other sources contest this, with some arguing that the Battalion has become depoliticised since its 2014 founding.

Project: February 2024 WhatsApp leak of Jewish creatives and academics

edit

The February 2024 WhatsApp leak of Jewish creatives and academics occurred when the members of a private WhatsApp group of over 600 Australian Jews called 'J.E.W.I.S.H creatives and academics' were doxed[6] by a group of anti-Zionist activists. The activists leaked the transcript of the group chat, as well as the names, images, professions and social media accounts of those in the group, affecting hundreds of Jewish Australians working in academia and creative industries. The ostensible justification for the leak was a desire to expose Australian Zionists who, it was contended, were coordinating in the group chat to target pro-Palestinian public figures. The leakers referred to the contents as a "leaked zionist group chat"[7] and described the leak as an act of pro-Palestinian activism, adopting the term "Zio600" to refer to the group.

The contents of the chat were leaked on social media, with several high-profile public figures sharing the leak. The group involved in the doxing included the writer Clementine Ford[8][9], X, and Y. Several of these public figures defended their actions in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the Israel–Hamas war. The people involved in leaking the chat stated that they had done so with the participation of "First Nations people and anti-zionist Jews".[10]

Some individuals whose details were leaked rejected the contention that the leak was specifically targeted at zionist Jews. One individual told the The Sydney Morning Herald that she was "not a Zionist" and that the leakers had made a list of "as many Jewish people as they could find".

Reportedly photographs of children were also leaked.

Responses

edit

The leak was widely condemned by leaders of Australia's Jewish community, including Alex Ryvchin, the co-CEO for the peak body for Australian Jews, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry,[11] the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies[12] and the Jewish Australian Labor Party MP Josh Burns. Both the governing Australian Labor Party and the opposition Liberal Party of Australia were strongly critical of the publication of the list, with the Australian government referring to it as an incident of antisemitic doxing.

Members of the leaked group faced death threats, including threats made against a five-year old child[13] and one family was reportedly forced into hiding.[14] Several Jewish Australians whose details had been included in the leak reported on the personal and professional toll the leak had taken on them, including being forced to close their businesses[15] and saw the leak as part of growing antisemitic intimidation that had previously been absent in Australia.[16][17]

The incident attracted worldwide press attention.

The source of the leak was later identified as journalist X. X subsequently stated that she had shared the contents of the WhatsApp chat in confidence and that she deeply regretted the fact that it had been made public.

edit

The Albanese government was strongly critical of the publication of the list, and shortly thereafter announced new laws to combat doxing, the malicious release of personal information.[18][19] The incident occurred the Australian government to pass new legislation stipulating potential criminal penalties for doxing, defined as the malicious release of private information. The bill was first introduced into Parliament on X and became law on X.

Commentary

edit

Some sources argued that the incident was a sign of worsening antisemitism in Australia. One source said that it demonstrated that "antisemitism Down Under [was] turning vicious". Some drew attention to the problematic terminology used by the leakers, including the term "Zio", which Professor David Slucki noted originated as an ethnic slur for Jews popularised by white supremacist and former head of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke.[20]

Conversely, others defended the leak as being in the public interest. X in The Conversation defended the leak and its dissemination as an example of whistleblowing rather than doxing.

7. Role of slavery

edit

Many historians have concluded that the desire of Anglo Texans to preserve the social and economic institution of slavery was the primary factor that led to them to secede from Mexico in 1835.[21][22] Accordingly, Barba has written that the primary goal of the Revolution was "craft a political economy conducive to Anglo-American slavery".[23] Others have concluded that slavery was one of several significant factors, or at least one amongst several factors.[24] Stephen F. Austin, known as the "Father of Texas", wrote in 1833:

"Texas must be a slave country. Circumstances and unavoidable necessity compel it. It is the wish of the people there, and it is my duty to do all I can, prudently, in favor of it. I will do so.

The Texas Revolution was motivated by a number of factors, including resistance to the Mexican government's attempts to centralize power, and the desire of Anglo Texas to preserve the institution of chattel slavery in the territory.

In the early 19th century, the cotton economy based on plantation slavery grew rapidly in the Southern United States. Increasing numbers of slaveholding Anglos began to migrate into the the territory of Texas. As tensions between the Mexican government and Anglo settlers grew, Mexico declared in 1833 that it would no longer extradite fugitive slaves, despite strong objections from the US government.[25] In 1835 the government of Mexico was overthrown and a new, centralist constitution was promulgated. The Constitution of the Republic of Texas of 1836 explicitly protected the institution of slavery, and prohibited free blacks from living in Texas without the permission of the legislature.[26] All in all, thousands of slaves were able to flee Texas and gain their freedom in Mexico.[27] In 1840 the legislature of independent Texas approved a law ordering all free blacks to leave the Republic,[28] though some were exempted by the Ashworth Act.

The role played by slavery has become part of historical debates regarding the revolution's purpose and legacy. Earlier historical accounts tended to reject the contention that the preservation of slavery was a major factor in the revolt.[29] Conversely, more modern scholarship has tend to affirm the importance of the desire to protect slavery in the role of the revolt against Mexico in 1835, and the declaration of independence in 1836.[30] The desire to protect slavery also played a central role in Texas' accession into the United States in 1846, especially after Great Britain put pressure on the Republic of Texas to abolish the practice.[31][32][33] Eventually, the desire to preserve slavery helped move Texas to secede from the United States and join the Confederate States of America in 1861.

Other factors that motivated Anglo Texans to revolt against Mexico was cultural mistrust of Catholicism and Hispanic Mexicans, clashes over their previous exemption from Mexican taxes and customs duties and repeated reductions in political autonomy granted to Texas.[24]

By 1835 there were 20,000 Anglos in Texas, with settlement centred around Washington on the Brazos, and they outnumbered Hispanics in Texas ten to one.[34] Davis has argued that had Mexico been prepared to preserve the earlier "benign neglect" and broad autonomy for Anglo-Texans, the settlers would have been content to remain within Texas.[24] Anglo settlers had been invited into Texas to create a buffer with the United States and with hostile Native American groups, and initially enjoyed a "generous provision" of land grants in addition to a seven-year period free of Mexican taxes or customs duties.[24] Nonetheless, the Anglo colonists and their plantation economy remained closely economically linked to the United States, and they did not develop a sense of loyalty to Mexico.[35]

8.Tejanos in the Revolution

edit

"On April 5, 1837, slavery was abolished,"without any exception," throughout the Republic. Slaveowners were to be indemnified, except for Texas colonists "who took part in the rebellion of that department" [sic].[36] Mexico refused to accept Texan secession, and the political divide between federalists and centralizers over the "Texas Question" would dominate Mexican politics for the next decade.[37]

The Revolution led to divided loyalties among the Tejano population of Texas. Tejanos fought in the Revolution's major battles on both the rebel and Mexican sides, with members of the same family even fighting for opposite sides on occasion.[38] Many Tejanos had been alienated by the Mexican governments abolishment of federalism, with many opposing secession but hoping to preserve unity with Mexico on a basis that upheld local autonomy.[39] By 1835, many were concerned about the increasingly dominant presence of Anglos in nominally Mexican Texas.[40] While some scholars have stressed that Tejano loyalties were divided,[24][41] De la Teja has contended that most Tejanos embraced the cause of Texan independence.[42] Despite the support of many Tejanos, the Revolutionary victory led to increased marginalization of Tejanos in the new Republic, and war "made potential enemies of all Mexicans" in the Republic.[43] Anglo Texans dominated the political leadership of the Republic of Texas, and during the 1836-1845 period only a handful of Tejanos were elected to the Texas legislature.[44]

Many Tejanos fought bravely for the Texan revolutionary cause.[45] Prominent Hispanic Texas Antonio Menchaca fought for the Revolution and was renowned for the bravery he displayed at the Battle of San Jacinto.[46] After Texan independence was achieved, the Congress of the Republic of Texas passed a joint resolution in 1838 honoring Menchaca's service in the Revolution and granting him a home in San Antonio.[47] He frequently spoke up for Tejano veterans who thought they had been denied proper compensation for their service and often served as a witness in legal proceedings on their behalf.[48] Tejano José Antonio Navarro was one of the signatories of the Texas Declaration of Independence.[49]

9.Legacy and historical commemoration

edit

In 2021, the Governor of Texas announced a new "patriotic education" bill to be titled "The 1836 project". The stated aim of the bill is preserving the integrity of educational approaches to the Revolution in Texas. Nonetheless, there have been critics.

"Ironically, a Revolution fought to secure slavery from Mexican interference provided far more opportunities for slave resistance than had ever existed under Mexican rule."[50]

"In 1835-1836, the simmering tensions between Anglo settlers and the Mexican government boiled over. A number of issues, not the least of which was slavery, lay behind the rift."[51]

"Texas slaveholders thus found the institution troublesome and unsettling, but, at the same time, it benefited them to the extent that they would attempt a revolution to keep it."[52]

"Another point that caused constant irritation in the relations between Texans and Mexicans was the issue of slavery. For this topic see the thorough study of Paul D. Lack, "Slavery and the Texas Revolution", p82. [: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41280729]

"Above all, the Texas Rebellion should be understood as an exercise in political-economy building. More precisely, the Texas Rebellion was an attempt to craft a political economy conducive to Anglo-American slavery – one that was reminiscent of that of the United States." Paul Andres Barba, "Enslaved in Texas: Slavery, Migration, and Identity in Native Country," PhD thesis, p457.

"Hemphill reminded fellow senators that Texas had agreed to annexation out of fear that the diplomacy of Great Britain would hazard the peculiar institution. Texas, he exclaimed, had not found peace or security for slavery, but experienced only peril. It should not surprise them, therefore, that Texas would secure itself against the threat to slavery by supporting secession from the Union." p27 [53]

"In fairness, Beckert’s theory that cotton capitalists dictated British foreign policies need not have to apply to every situation, but in addition to the cases he misinterprets there are many puzzling events, such as British policies toward Texas, that need explanation. An independent Texas would have created an alternative source of cotton outside U.S. control. In November 1840, Britain granted diplomatic recognition to the young republic, on the condition that the slave trade be suppressed. In 1843, British overtures to help settle relations between Mexico and Texas were linked to the abolition of slavery. The Texas planters refused and pushed for union with the United States (Smith 1911, p. 382; Adams 1918)."[54] p6

But in the 1820s, with independence secured and sovereignty established, the two republics approached the key question of slavery very differently: one was facilitating its expansion, the other its abolition. The tension between these two ideals was one of the most important contributors to the Texas Revolution and the founding of the slaveholding Texas Republic in 1836. Yet while the defeat of Mexico and the redrawing of the boundaries of sovereign power certainly diminished the influence of Mexico over the Brazos, they did not eliminate it entirely. Mexico never acknowledged the legitimacy of the Texas Republic and still hoped to reestablish sovereignty over the region.[55]

Aboriginal history

"The recurring pattern, all over Australia, was one of seasonal and other variation in lengths of stays in one place. No group is ever described, at the moment of colonisation, as living year in, year out, in one single place. Degree of mobility varied from region to region, and from ecological zone to ecological zone, but it was always there."[56]

Other eyewitness accounts include early settler William Thomas (Australian settler) (p106) who lived with Aboriginal people.

Notes on Andy Ngo...

edit

Andy Ngo as "pseudo-journalist".[15] Interesting article on how conservative content dominates on social media, including Ngo's coverage of BLM. "During the month that POLITICO analyzed, a third of Ngo’s roughly 50 posts ranked in the 30 most-shared digital messages about Black Lives Matter. Collectively, his top five messages on Twitter, based on shares, likes and retweets, received 35 times more engagement than the most prominent mainstream media post on the topic, from MSNBC’s Joy Reid, based on POLITICO’s analysis."[16]

Interesting academic working paper on Ngo[17]

"But for conservative media, the endorsement of peers within its narrow confines is all the expertise necessary for publication. Quillette writer Andy Ngo, who called attention to Lenihan’s work on Twitter and whose work Lenihan cites in his article, insisted that the legitimacy of Lenihan’s findings was self-evident from Lenihan’s Twitter posts."[18]

"Mumford and Sons banjoist Winston Marshall took to social media on Saturday to laud noted right-wing agitator Andy Ngo as a “brave man”..."However, critics of Ngo say he often publishes selectively edited and misleading content in order to paint left-wing activists as violent while downplaying similar conduct on the right." Consequence of Sound[19]

"Finally, Ngo is often accused of bias, because, as Mullen points out, in the past he focused exclusively on Antifa and did not report on street violence on the part of far right groups, such as Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys—a questionable choice, but still no excuse for violence." Areo magazine[20]

"This week’s rally was called after right-wing media personality and provocateur Andy Ngo was attacked in Portland on June 29 while filming a Patriot Prayer rally heavily outnumbered by antifa."[21]

"The only member of the media called to testify was right-wing provocateur Andy Ngo."[22]

"Late last month, the conservative media personality Andy Ngo sent me a video made by Popular Mobilization, a group of anti-fascists who organize protests in response to right-wing rallies in Portland, Oregon...Though Ngo’s work is probably best described as media activism, the debate over what to call him has ignored the way the journalism business is trending. A part of a new generation of what the writer Max Read termed “busybody” journalists, Ngo at rallies practices a kind of participant reporting that alternates freely between mocking the far left, anthropologizing it, and cowering from it."[23]

"It does not appear that the event ever took place. On September 3, right-wing media figure Andy Ngo tweeted that the event had been canceled, citing a website apparently created for the event."[24]

"After Kealiher’s death, the right-wing Portland writer Andy Ngo published an article resurfacing writings Kealiher had posted online, including one in which he described violent action as “the most beautiful moment an anarchist can undertake.”[25]

May 2020: Wall Street Journal and climate denial[27]

Current version:

The Journal editorial board has promoted views that differ from the scientific consensus on climate change, acid rain, and ozone depletion, as well as on the health harms of second-hand smoke, pesticides and asbestos.

Climate change denial

edit

The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal rejects the scientific consensus on climate change. The Journal disputes that it poses a major threat to human existence and can be prevented through public policy and has published articles disputing that global warming is occurring at all. The Journal is regarded as a forum for climate change deniers,[57][58] publishing articles by individuals that reject the consensus position on climate change in its op-ed section.[59][60][61] These columns frequently attack climate scientists and accuse them of engaging in fraud. A 2015 study found The Wall Street Journal was the newspaper that was least likely to present negative effects of global warming among several newspapers. It was also the most likely to present negative economic framing when discussing climate change mitigation policies, tending to take the stance that the cost of such policies generally outweighs their benefit.[62] The Washington Post has characterized The Wall Street Journal's editorial pages as "the beating heart of climate-change skepticism".[63]

Climate Feedback, a fact-checking website on media coverage of climate science, has assessed that multiple opinion articles range between "low" and "very low" in terms of scientific credibility.[64][65] The Journal has been accused of refusing to publish opinions of scientists which present the mainstream view on climate change.[66] According to a 2016 analysis, 14% of the guest editorials presented the results of "mainstream climate science", while the majority did not. Also, none of 201 editorials published in the Wall Street Journal since 1997 have conceded that the burning of fossil fuels is causing climate change.[67]

Other science coverage

edit

In the 1980s and 1990s, The Journal published numerous columns disputing and misrepresenting the science behind acid rain and the scientific consensus behind the causes of ozone depletion and the health harms of second-hand smoke, and opposed public policy efforts to curb acid rain, ozone depletion and second-hand smoke.[68][69][70] The Journal has also published columns attacking efforts to control pesticides and asbestos.[68] By the 2000s, the Journal editorial board recognized that efforts to curb acid rain through cap-and-trade had been successful.[69]

Given the current owner’s interest in promoting conservative political causes, these trends become illustrative of a deeper pattern of climate skepticism that views climate change as a primarily political instead of an environmental or scientific issue.[71]

The conservative media assault on climate science also occurs in print media, especially conservative newspapers such as the Murdoch‐owned Wall Street Journal (whose editorial pages have become a regular forum for climate change denial, including columns by contrarian scientists) and the New York Post and the Reverend Moon's Washington Times.[72]

Acclaim for Murray's thought has been widespread, and ranges from liberal French public intellectual Bernard Henri-Levy, who claimed him to be 'one of the most important public intellectuals today', to authoritarian anti-immigrant hardliners such as Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who went so far as to promote The Strange Death of Europe on his Facebook page in Spring 2018... Murray's book [The Madness of Crowds] remodels a much older theory of so-called 'cultural Marxism', which has long history in far-right thought.

Media pundit, journalist, and conspiracy entrepreneur Douglas Murray is a prime example of illustrating the influence of an 'organic intellectual'. Murray has written passionately in support of British fascist Tommy Robinson (Murray, 2018) and describes Islam as an "opportunistic infection" (Hasan, 2013) linked to the "strange death of Europe" (Murray, 2017a).
