what do we make of this

seems to be a recurring defence of far right killers. dylan roof had an insanity plea all ready to go until those activists found his blog and manifesto iirc.

iirc weren’t they trying to find ways to prosecute journalists for the PP revelations over here? i remember they sent headbreakers after the guardian and glenn greenwald’s partner when they released the snowden docs, at any rate.

My YouTube recommended is awash with alt-right filth, despite the fact I have never clicked any of it. Seen rubberbandits saying the same thing on twitter as well. That stuff must make £££

Someone set themselves on fire outside the Home Office office in Croydon the other day and there has barely been any mention of it apart from this vague article. Is that weird or is it genuinely not newsworthy?

Dunno how seriously to take this (‘infiltration’ of parish/community councils). On the one hand, it seems to be the latest easily churned-out story about another far-right fancy dress fantasist. On the other, I’ve seen close-up opportunities for it, and the opportunists that might fancy taking advantage of this kind of open goal - where the barriers to entry are low (e.g. unopposed election due to fewer candidates than vacancies), but there’s potentially an element of political legitimacy to be had (and to build upon).

Gonna be on alert in my back yard.

Yeah I did wonder if it was nothing to do with ‘Craig’s’ browsing history the videos she was seeing. YouTube is such a fucked up system with almost zero ability to control content. I continually get the worst vids popping up.

Anyway that article was a grim read.

That seems fucking weird to me, yeah. Surely it’s being suppressed?

‘normal’ is even more insidiously racist than ‘great’ isn’t it

I’ve spent two days of my life at Lunar House, it’s utterly miserable, a perfect encapsulation of the hostile environment.
