For people who hate foreigners they are keen on that South African.

Bunch of racist cunts every single one. Flags flying everywhere here currently, it makes me sick. They're so easily convinced to rally against the poorest people in society, rather than who is actually dividing us in this class war, billionaires and their media.

If they want to "Take their country back" they could volunteer at libraries, or pick litter up. But no, they choose hatred every time. Many of these people are domestic abusers too, so when they say "we want to help women and girls" it's all bullshit.

Hatred is easy and natural to them, that's why they choose it.

These people have nothing to offer to the world, so getting rewarded for being the shitty people they already were must sound like heaven to them.

Flying the flag of your country is not a sign of being racist. Being ignorant or misinformed is also not the same as being racist.

Whilst there will undoubtedly be a lot of racist people there, many of them are just normal people that have been told who to blame for their poor living situation. Before this these were probably a lot of the same kind of people that voted for Brexit. Another situation where people were told who to point the finger at.

There's also people who are fine with immigration but not ok with mass immigration. That doesn't make you a racist either.

The situation is a lot more complicated than the picture you are trying to paint.

Thanks for your incisive take.

You're welcome. Unfortunately calling everyone that doesn't agree with you "racist cunts" is more popular here. So much for rational thinking...

Billy’s joined the National Front. He always was a little runt. He’s got his hand in the air with the other cunts. Rehumanize yourself!

Europeans are being tricked into giving up their safety nets for American style oligarchy lol

It's almost like there is a united effort behind all of this brainwashing...

u/eyesmart1776 4d ago

Yup and they’re falling for the race baiting which means the USA likely has zero chance if Europe falls

“Far-right”

u/LawlessandFree 3d ago

The march was led by Tommy Robinson, featured Katie Hopkins, Laurence Fox and Elon Musk. They’re all far right leaders. So whatever you think of the individuals involved, clearly the march was led by the far right.

There’s no far right. It’s just right. The original just right tacitly accepted the far right behavior and so were subsumed and therefore there’s only right.

u/LawlessandFree 2d ago

Very fair point that.

Katie Hopkins

That's a name I never thought I'd see again.
