Booing the knee is going to be this summer's version of defending Churchill's statue... but Southgate's brave and well-argued stance means we can use it as a teachable moment bs fascism 1/... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
1/ ... the core conceit of British racism is that the system is not racist: having an empire, running the slave trade, allowing systematic police racism had no long term effect ... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
... so it's not racist to boo an anti-racist gesture; in fact it's an insult to Britain to suggest the racists are racist... next fascism .... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
2/ the core of modern fascism is the great replacement theory: the BLM=Marxism trope is a straight lift. Here's Gareth and the lads importing an alien ideology akin to cultural Marxism (yawn) ... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
... so when the media platform those claiming BLM is Marxist, they are promoting the thought architecture of fascism...(many of them knowingly, and will go to their weekend lunch parties and laugh about it)... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
3/ The Tories won't damp this down, they'll amplify it - but most of them have no idea of the fire they're playing with when this is translated into situations in grounds, pubs, parks... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
4/ Support out booing (white) lads is a great money maker for the tabloids, BBCQT, LBC and the online grifters... but... this is also a big opportunity for anti fascists medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
... The Tories, fascists, tabloid hacks want a culture war. But this is an argument we can win... with every pint glass raised to @GarethSouthgate we piss them off for free ... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
