At least 25 rallies thought to be planned as religious leaders condemn attempts to sow hatred after Southport killings
I think this is what happens when mainstream political parties legitimise this kind of anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Everyone is pointing at social media, what about Sunak/Braverman/Patel? Not to mention the odious Farage.
I lay a lot of the blame at their feet.
And also - I realise it makes no sense (the perpetrator is British born!) but as has so often been said: You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. So yeah, here we are. Madness.
I still remember what my grandfather who fought in WW2 told me: "You don't speak to nazis. You shoot nazis."
Times have changed, so I would be entirely happy with all the Nazis deported to Rwanda.
I left Reddit to get away from all the racist wankers and their "legitimate concerns", and now they seem to be turning up here. Great.
Lemmy is small enough that blocking them individually is an effective strategy.
I agree but I rather worry that they’ll take over here as well because more people read this and are like „wtf I’m out“. That’s what happened with me on Reddit too. I was still lurking before the blackout but it was often already kinda bad.
However now if I look at Reddit it’s no different than Facebook or instagram because I assume many mods left, and I mean those who actually cared about their community vs being in power. I think it’s bad if these „opinions“ are here, even though they get downvoted to oblivion. They will just poison the discourse.
And don’t get me wrong, plurality of opinion is very important. But Nazi bots do not play by the rules, they do not contribute to said plurality, they want to destroy it and take over any space where people exchange opinions.
Holy shit these early comments. Who the fuck rang the bell over at Racists R Us?
It's bad faith. Mentioning facts to them is pointless, this is the result of allowing these assholes to recruit and organize for years.
