Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

A very useful guide from @stephenkb.bsky.social to the difference between legitimate concerns and racism, and how that muddled approach leads to muddled policy. Also. Racist thuggery isn’t protest. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Labour’s muddled migration policy won’t stop thuggery

A government that can’t distinguish between ‘legitimate concerns’ and open racism is only making things worse

This. If you are trying to rehabilitate a hypothesis that the overwhelming consensus has thoroughly buried, the minimum requirement is to have new data to support that rehabilitation attempt. Writing essays and blogs based on the reasoning of debunked racist cranks will just make you one of them.
