Some far right white dude kills another far right white dude, and in response these far right white dudes are angry at (checks notes) anyone else?
Genuine neo-nazi kills neo-nazi sympathiser for not being neo-nazi enough and so a bunch of other neo-nazi sympathisers in a different country to shout at brown people.
Welcome to modern Britain.
Can we label these chuds "terrorists" yet? No, neo-nazis being killed is "heart-breaking"? Kier is filled with "grief and anger".
Terrorist is reserved for Palestine supporters don't cha know
At the very least, racists.
I'm getting sick of reading about "anti-immigration protesters" clashing with "anti-racism protesters"... last time I checked, the opposite of "anti-racism" was "racism".
They're not anti-immigration protesters anyway, I'm sure they're all in favor of them immigrating to Spain. But I guess when they do it it's okay.
They're literally just been racist thugs. If the UK had zero immigration they'd still find something to be unhappy about, they're just using immigration as an excuse for being violent
Well, precisely. If they get their way and never have to see a brown person again, it'll be the transes next, then the gays and disableds and anyone neurodiverse, and then... women, I guess?
And they still won't be happy, because they're too fucking thick to see that it's ultra-rich people they should be angry with. 😬 Omg what a magical time to be alive.
Obviously he couldn't have sounded pleased about his death, but at the same time he also didn't really need to make any kind of comment at all.
If we making statements every time an American kills another American we're going to be at it all day. It's not like he was even a politician, he was just some random guy.
There was a school shooting the same day. Starmer could have expressed anger and grief for that instead of the white supremacist. Many things he could have done, he did what he did.
I always wonder what will happen when all the brown people are ousted from the UK?
Who will they hate then?
Wait a sec, let's just say all the LGBTQ+ crowd are thrown out as well as all the brown people, let's be extra harsh and throw in all the disabled in with them too...
Who will they hate then?
As is always the way, the Jews.
Hey now, don't forget the Scots, Irish, and Welsh! Leeching from His Majesty's Eng'rland so they can buy their heroin, drink, and sheep
Ah shite, I forgot to absolve the religious groups
You understand my point though.
Once they expel all that they hate, what then?
There's always someone else to hate. Trade unions, the elderly, the young, teachers, doctors, academics, charity workers, journalists, women, etc etc
So secretly it's just a big gay mens club?
Just off the top of my head:
We'll always have poor people...
They'll probably turn on each other that seems to be the standard playbook amongst fascists.
When you base your ideology on hate, it's kind of hard to let go once you achieve your goal.
A Nazi sympathizer is just a second Nazi
Persecution complex is a helluva drug
"Grrr. Brown & black people bad!"
I don't think these low-class white British guys would integrate into the broader UK society even if non-whites were removed. They'd go on to villainize Catholics or whites that hold different political views.
The thing about far right politics is that there will always be an enemy for their personal failings. That's the drug they're hooked to. It's never their fault they're losers. It's some "other."
