Also in Denver violent 'antifa' protestors were arrested, when processed and identities uncovered they turned out to be known far right extremists linked to the Boogaloo movement that says civil war is inevitable

A set of accounts posing as antifa whose tweets were taken down for inciting violence were traced back to far right extremists.
Worth noting Antifa isnt an organisations it's a catch all for a loose cooalition of various groups, some more reasonable than others.

The UK isnt immune either, thanks to social media these groups seek to sow division here as well, either directly or through British spin offs.
Some of our own politicians fall into the trap of retweeting propaganda from far right groups that supports their own political purposes

If there's no political advantage then they dont care. When Scum media was amplified by RW commentators and anonymous far right accounts more linked to Trumps MAGA than Johnson what did they do?

These are the same types of clustered accounts responsible for spreading antisemitism in US and Europe, government MPs are more likely to share anti left tweets from these accounts that fit their narrative than to call them out.
Is it a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
Why clamp down or even call out dangerous far right troll farms when they are happy to amplify the governments message and join in attacks on their political opponents?

During proroguing of parliament I found a group of accounts many claiming to be ex military all asking for follows of those prepared to stand up for democracy by taking to the streets if Brexit wasnt done by October. Felt like encouraging militias
These arent harmless groups,
Antivaxers

Anti lockdown mass gatherings

What begins as a outlier fringe opinion can quickly become mainstream, it doesnt help when culture war misinformation merchants are given the veneer of respectability with slots as commentators on news and politics programmes.
I'm thinking of one particular incident where at the same time trolls were calling for militias someone from an alt-right online publication said there should be rioting if Brexit didnt go ahead in October. This isnt a Brexit attack, there is a right and wrong way to do things.
