Guys, a few words in relation to the ERG using KKK terminology to describe themselves. Firstly, of course this is incitement to anger and antagonism. It is text book #AltRight. It is a kind of societal weapon and a hallmark of the Leave campaign. 1/ #FBPE
Another point to note is that when the AltRight are accused of being something they often respond by adding to it sarcastically to make it seem ludicrous. You accuse them of taking private jets they will say they were given the jet as a gift. 2/
It is a way of denigrating the accusation without denying it. @Arron_banks and his kiss ass Wigmore do this all the time. You will have seen their piss take responses to avoid having to answer an accusation. 3/
So, when the #AltRight ERG call themselves KKK grand wizards what they are actually trying to do is deflect from the fact that they really are white supremacists and are backed by white supremacist groups in the US, who also back Steve Bannon et al. 4/
It is important that we see use of these terms as 1, an act of societal antagonism/terrorism & 2, a denial of their very evident white supremacist beliefs and ideology, we really are talking about people who consider themselves to be the "master race". 5/
Let us not lose sight of who brought brexit to our door and who's behind it. It is less to do with the EU and more to do with an ultra capitalist white supremacist Neo feudalist authoritarian view of how they see the 21st century being ordered, an old...new order. 6/ #FBPE
In relation to the above tweet I stumbled across the profile for @andywigmore that very much demonstrates this point. Note mention of "Russian Spy" to distract from his Russian connections... btw the "bad boy" thing was their idea, it's a macho mentality thing... children. #FBPE
