Given the extent of last night's counter protests.... its time to take the anti-fascists 'legitimate concerns' into consideration, we might/must conclude!

While its likely too early to draw conclusions about how the far right rioters will be dealt with (with only a small minority sentenced so far), the Equality Trust *do* sum up an emerging concern expressed here (and elsewhere).
"There is much discussion of the causes of what is being called #FarRight rioting in the UK this morning. No one is, unfortunately, calling it #NeoFascist on mainstream media, when that is what it is. Nor is this violence being described a #Racist, although it is apparent that this is exactly what motivates those who are rioting. ... When mainstream politics refuses to consider the solutions, or even name what is happening, we are in trouble."

"The Heritage Foundation today is the 800 pound gorilla on the right... it's not surprising that it took the lead in creating project 2025.
"Heritage, from the very beginning, blended the toxic cocktail.. of plutocratic economics, Christian nationalism & the weaponization of racism, gender anxiety, & parental fears about sex to achieve its goals".
& why Trump disappointed them & why they love Viktor Orbán

I find it sickening that the #media and, of course, politicians, are pushing the idea that the rise of the #farright (eg Holland) is fundamentally a result of immigration
so, it is the immigrant's fault and not the fault of the dominant society with its political, social and cultural system and institutions
and, also, what they're saying is that if you want to have less of the far-right you have to "solve" the "problem" of immigration
despicable
