Starkey tells the National Conservatism conference that #BlackLivesMatter & #CRT are “attempts at destroying the entire legitimacy of thew Western cultural tradition... They do not care about black lives. They only care about the symbolic destruction of white culture.”
Starkey's, & ultranationalist misogynist provocateur & Proud Boys founder, Gavin McInnes's edicts, echo identitarian rhetoric, which seeks to sanitize hatred for brown immigrants & their liberal supporters by positioning them as a threat to modern "white culture" & tradition.
Rejecting any criticism, far-right populists claim to be fighting against against a ‘political correctness’ perceived as censorship. If criticized they stylize themselves as victims, often connected to the victim/perpetrator reversal strategy, aka DARVO.

Their rhetoric is just old-school bigotry, dressed up as harmless intellectual discourse & is issued alongside a bunch of vague existential threats: 'They’re coming for you, they’re going to persecute you for your patriotism, they’re going to erase you & everything you’ve built.'
For decades in the UK, followiing the path of Oswald Mosley, Enoch Powell & Nick Griffin, Starkey, Farage, Braverman & increasing numbers of right-wing shock jocks, columnists, & 'media personalities' all attempt to indoctrinate their audiences. qualitativesociologyreview.org/ENG/Volume58/Q…
