π¨ Attention UK Anti-Fascists π¨
We have a new collection of white-ethnonationalists for you to keep an eye on.
Recently, a number of prominent Far Right figures joined forces to create 'Patriotic Alternative'.
Don't be fooled, it's the same hate, repackaged. /1
You might recognize some of the figures here. They have all played a role in building the organization. Key figures are Mark Collett, Colin Robertson. /2
Mark Collett, ex-BNP is an outspoken white supremacist who has made favourable remarks about the Nazi regime and is involved with the creation of a number of racist podcast & video series.
Check out the tattoo on his ex! /3 rationalwiki.org/wiki/Mark_Collβ¦
Colin Robertson, aka 'Millennial Woes' is a YouTuber whose rabidly racist, antisemitic videos have made him a hit with the white supremacist scene. He's regularly in attendance at Neo-Nazi gatherings across northern Europe. /4 rationalwiki.org/wiki/Millenniaβ¦
Laura Towler, editor of the white nationalist website 'Defend Europa' has gained a following with her videos such as 'We Were Never Asked', about the Windrush Generation. She is a bit of a nexus for Far Right e-celebrities. /5
Someone has obviously given these jokers a bit of money - their material is far in advance of anything created thus far.
Everything gives the impression that they're a well-founded conservative youth movement. Only the talk of 'indigenous population' gives the game away. /6
Do not be mistaken. Those getting involved are exposed to white nationalist propaganda and the same ideas as motivated the Christchurch shooter - think 'Great Replacement', eco-fascism, etc.
Collett and Towler have been pushing it in their 'We Were Never Asked' Video'. /7
So what to do if you see their stickers, leaflets or videos being shared?
β
Let anti-racist orgs like @UAF & @AntiRacismDay know, as well as police forces.
β
*Peacefully* counter-protest their meetings and rallies.
β
Bin pamphlets, remove stickers. /8
β Do not give them any excuse to play the persecution card.
I cannot stress this enough.
Forcefully reject them, but do not resort to any kind of violence.
It's wrong, and they *will* monopolise it. /9
For the meantime, if you have a moment, keep an eye on @PatAlternative for violations of the ToS. Same with any donation links they put out.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance! /FIN
Of course, forgot to add, Laura Towler. /2a
