Sure, we did. That is 100% true. Then, I see you guys joining UKIP in a coordinated move, repeating the same shit about Soros that a lot of *actual*, dyed-in-the-wool antisemites promote and sharing a platform with a guy who talks about death squads hitting journalists... 1/
There's a point where this goes beyond the online conversation and becomes something that is really, undeniably have an effect on the world around us. There's a point where civility & a chat are overshadowed by something big and dark... 2/
You guys can talk about how you're not 'Alt-Right' or 'Classical Liberals' until the cows come home.

It doesn't change the fact you're joining forces with a coalition of people who are doing everything they can to make the world ripe for *more* authoritarianism, 3/
Here, @UKIP might be seen as the party of middle-aged, red-faced men, a bit of a relic, but you better believe they're in bed with a network of Far Right parties across Europe - AfD (Germany), Law and Justice (Poland), National Rally (France) & Fidesz (Hungary) among others. 4/
They want to replace the order we've got, as shit as it is, with something a lot darker. You've spoken at rallies where UKIP banners have waved next to Generation identity flags - guys who adopt military-style training and tactics in 'defence' of a white Europe. 5/
I've worked on interpreting enough historical artefacts to know that governments or political parties that play their hands early don't really last. The shit you guys joke about - it has, and will become acceptable to these parties over time. 6/
You've got a grievance on free speech, @CountDankulaTV - maybe a legitimate one. I know this - when you starting fronting for UKIP, you're running with the same crowd who want to restrict the free speech of others - Poland's holocaust laws, Hungary's migration speech laws... 7/
I'm gonna wind this up. This won't be a joke soon. This is going to be much darker. Yeah, I stopped talking to you. I think you're getting into something very, very serious. Not only did I feel like I was compromising myself. but I worried about how this might end up for you. 8/
I'm not going to stream. It's not cowardice - I'm not prepared to give a platform to the ideas I see coming from your lot. We've got enough of that out there.

I urge you to have a good look at who you're getting in with. I don't wish you ill. Far from it. FIN.
