Apparently the Bella ciao song is directly linked to Fuentes. On a playlist supporters use. Admittedly that seems odd given its usual anti fascist links. Who knows. Regardless of ideology anyone that decides to murder someone isn’t right psychologically so trying to interpret their use of engravings might be a fools errand. Might be literal, ironic or random for all we know.
This. Also there are a lot of people who support fascism now but deny they do. I’ve missed Kirk and no little about him but it seemed he deliberately targeted people eg getting people to intimidate female journalists , black commentators and the likes as well as guns. There’s an irony in this death and some of those now playing the victim. I’d say his wider family are the victims in this. They watched him die in an awful way no one should ever see of a loved one and he in a way invited it with his words and behaviours. He could have been nice to people instead. They probably wish he’d kept his mouth shut.
Reform banned journalists they don’t like from their conference days after Farage mentioned free speech to garner money attention and power. He’s the biggest fraud in politics and there are very many idiots who can’t see past his manipulation including a few on here.
This is the most frustrating thing, there are obviously good, misguided people amongst the fascists. Labelling them all fascists just sort of disintegrates the potential of reigning them back into sanity.
A pathetic, orange self centred, thin skinned, misogynistic, felon mess.
Labelling people as fascists when they aren't fascists but have views that are right of centre is a huge part of the problem. It doesn't make people change their minds, it just pushes them further towards the real fascists. And the same thing happens the other way around. This is one of the drivers of this polarisation.
This is absolutely correct. Conditions in this country have been conducive to the rise of a nationalist/right wing movement/figure. Without those conditions, Farage wouldn't be anywhere near mainstream politics. You can point to financial conditions since the 2008 economic situation and you can point to societal attitudes. It's all a reaction to that.
Agree in parts mate all I would say is this Labour inherited an absolute clusterfck from the Tories with 14 years of incompetence and underinvestment in all our public services. Of course this wasn’t helped by Brexit which absolutely ruined our economy so we can’t generate the funds to have decent public services.
And is nearly always the left, reading an article about troubles in France in the guardian, always says left, centre then extreme far right. Why not just say left centre and right. It seems like it all started with the brown gov and the bigoted woman slur.
Really shocked me as well. Civil war type behaviour going on here
But there are people who are pretty openly espousing fascism st this point and some of our aspiring government have been mimicking their practices
Given Kirk’s killer looks to have been one of Fuentes’ boys, that ascension may be a bit tricky.
