Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
On a national level totally agree. Still pretty fucking awful for places like Hartlepool where an already very small minority without much organised community defense is gonna have their lives made even more shit by these wankers, and in communities like that there are a fair amount of bigoted, nihilistic teens not just the usual 'old firm' lot. Which of course is why it's still important to organise and link up even small, local anti-fash groups.
Yes. I agree. I'm not advocating they be ignored at a local level, just that they're really not threatening in the slightest in the national context.
Their growth strategy is dogshit too. They don't have much appeal outside of incredibly poor and racist which is completely different to american fascists who have strong middle-income and petit-boug growth, not many poor people owning those 80k trucks or huge expensive gun collections. The class demographics that our fash appeal to are much lower than the american fash.
Like shit, you can physically see how poor these people are in the videos. A lot of them probably do not work and are lumpen.
Agreed, and for what it's worth I didn't think you were advocating ignoring or downplaying it at a local level. Just awful seeing it, and particularly in one place close by where I lived for a while many years ago and worked with orgs to pretty much stamp out the BNP back in the day. I always appreciate your posts comrade.
