Good video Chewy

If these anti-immigrant groups and hardline right groups were simply talking to one another in their relatively hardcore constituencies, I believe it would be a lot less of a worry than it presently is. What we have seen in recent years, is the way the propaganda begins on the radical right; begins in white supremacist hate groups and leaps out into less extreme groups and before we know it, its on our news and media channels and its coming out of the mouths of politicians and its all over our social media.

And then we had Trump, the alt-right savior who is willing to engage in a kind of rhetorical assault on Mexicans and Muslims and Farage who used crass brazen language on a level that isn’t normally accepted in polite society. We even had Johnson and Cameron sending out coded wink and nod messages to the white working class electorate. We have all been subjected to race baiting, even on here we see carefully worded, overt forms of racism.

I’m not surprised the public are angry. They’ve been traded and manipulated by the ‘politics of fear’. Every day, certain papers feed those fears with false claims about immigrants. This sort of propaganda has consequences… a revolt needs two sides and the two sides of this revolt both have extremists.
