    2025: year of the fascist 😑

    Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina on Sunday, October 12, said an “attempt to seize power illegally and by force” was underway, a day after a contingent of soldiers joined thousands of anti-government protesters in the capital. Soldiers based in the outskirts of Antananarivo on Saturday morning called on security units to “join forces” and to “refuse orders to shoot,” repudiating the violent crackdown on youth-led protests that have rocked the Indian Ocean island for more than two weeks.

    Nice to see the troops taking the side of the anti-fascist youth out there, good on them ♥️
