I think we spend far too much time online worrying about someone being far Right/ far Left. I don't think I'm either. Just because I hope Trump gets in at the next election, or I believe the slaughtering of so many Palestinians needs our moral support, doesn't put me in either category.
In real life, I get along with my neighbours and I try and stay away from controversial subjects with people I don't know well. Online I can... to an extent, unleash my passion about something. Social media allows me to do that and with big platforms like X and Telegram, my comments will mainly go unnoticed, but then I can at least get something off my chest.

Yes that matters,

Telegram is not main stream enough

KKK and other extremist groups that don’t exist now (thank God) were widespread before the internet. People might use the internet to assemble in groups across the world now but that doesn’t mean anything more than what it means. Racism was much worse back in the day (as recently as 2023, even) but since YT and bla-bla-bla the world’s heard more about isolated incidents on the tube or ’bus.

Pretty sure the KKK are still thriving and even gaining momentum again ..

I think I read that in 2022 there were around 40 active Klan groups in the USA
