EDL watch

[Fozzie Bear]

Sit there bitching about how everyone's doing it wrong and then abdicate the minute you're asked for your solution? How's that helpful?

My impression is that militant anti-fascism has never been a good way of receiving universal unconditional praise.

Having said that, people I know on Green Lanes are quite pleased that Tommy got a kicking.

It's kind of ironic that it's the right that's having a love in at the moment. It's a very supportive environment .

Think people have watched too many films. What did you expect , his head to come clean off and sail through McDonald's window?

So it is real then?

 

[Red Sky]

So it is real then?

I'm not sure what you mean by that?

 

[Red Sky]

So what you’re saying is nobody can comment unless they’re currently involved with the AFN?

Another key difference between the far right and the Left is that they lead by example whereas the Left instructs via critique.

I bet if you look at St*ormfr*nt there are people on there saying everyone is doing it wrong.

Fair play to you and all, but this is all coming across as a bit needy.

You're probably right and that just goes to show how out of touch I am!

 

[Pickman's model]

maybe not...


e2a2: no, it's def still going

you were right and despite reports of it being shut down a quick look at the google cache shows posts from march 2018

Stormfront is more your Neo Nazi, white supremacist far right. I've no doubt that's full of old gits, conspiraloons and Walter Mitty characters.

I'm talking about what could broadly be called the Identitarian or Counter jihadist right. They're the ones making all the strides at the moment.

Indeed. Perhaps that raises the question of what AFN can do to create an environment which is more supportive? (Hint: there is little chance of persuading old people on internet forums to be cheerleaders for you or even offer constructive advice).

What would you say these strides consist of at the moment?

I'm not the AFN . This isn't some kind of outreach program!

Massive increase in social media presence. Being seen as the voice of common sense.

Fair enough!

That said. Just seen that Britain First have been removed from Facebook. Not a victory, but a thing that happened.

True. AFN activists regularly critique those who led by example.

yeh and here we never critique anyone

Just pointing out that he doesn’t appear to like it when the boot is on the other foot.

Can you point to any examples ?

I don’t need too because I’m fairly confident you know full well what I’m talking about. So let’s leave it at that.

perhaps you could enlighten the rest of us.

I've no idea what you're talking about. Is this from the same source that told you that self crit was 'all the rage'. In which case someone's having a laugh.

The ‘source’ is my own eyes.

so you saw something you won't tell anyone about.

None one is it seems.

What does that mean? How are the two connected?

How is common sense construed nowadays?
