UK far right trouble

[johnny crossan]

I have honestly tried to stay out of the thread as I knew there would be at least a few posting things that would see me struggle not to respond in anger, which would play in to the hands of a few that have recently shown their disdain for me personally, and for the most part I have managed it.

But I ducked in for three or four pages this afternoon and was genuinely shocked to see some of the arguments being made. So many have been taken in by mis/disinformation, duped in to feeding blatant grifts, incited to blind hatred toward fellow human beings that have had it as bad or worse as them, and manipulated in to fighting a class war against themselves by the most wealthy and privileged in the world, who actually work to strip them of their wealth and protections every single day.

It’s bewildering and frightening that we have again gotten to this point after so many similar cycles which have ended in bloody, protracted conflict against such maligned self-interest from the grotesquely privileged few and their useful idiots and nihilistic zealots.

I am constantly reminded of Eugene O’Neill’s observation in A Moon for the Misbegotten, “There is no present or future—only the past, happening over and over again, now.”

The BBC describing these rioters as 'protesters' is doing a grave disservice to democracy.

One arrest in Rotherham after that? Why?

Police treading a very fine line - there is nothing the brave patriots fighting to get their country back would like more than to fill social media with clips of them 'suffering' brutality at the hands of '2 tier policing'. This movement (I think it is distinct from previous incarnations of the far right) like maga draws heavily on claiming victimhood and persecution.

One thing the last couple days has taught me is just how thankful I should be for the company I keep, and the upbringing I received.

Incredibly, one BBC reporter earlier described the rioters as “pro-British”!

Presumably it’ll be a lot more once the dust settles and they review the CCTV, social media videos etc.

Well let’s hope so. Lots of talk from the government but it’s action that is needed. Justice in this country is a joke.

IMO, arrest warrants should be issued for the likes of Farage and the rest of his cuntish so called party for incitement

I think this sums it up -

Swear that privileged ****'s cookie pile grows bigger every time this is posted

Sadly, with the number of City fans I've unfollowed on Twitter recently, we've also got a fair few racists as well.

I think it's the same everywhere

This is an early test of their authority. I don’t think they’ll fuck around. The punishments dished out in 2011 for the riots should be a good barometer.

Those at the bottom of society told to be angry at the folk in dighys for making them poor - by the folk who own yachts.

Indeed. And how desperately sad that they're too stupid to see it. Those out rioting are drones; they've submitted their brains and consequently any free will they had to social media.
