And suddenly the major media outlets care about free speech and the right to protest. Most of the media is using a passive voice and is calling these “Anti-immigration” protests despite there being straight up Nazis involved.

    This has been happening in the UK too, including violent demonstrations against alleged hotels housing people seeking asylum, organised by former members of proscribed (terrorist) neo-Nazi organisations. The fact that multiple mainstream MPs have attended these, produced glowing videos about them, and stood with (figuratively and literally) people from knowing, unabashed neo-Nazi orgs has gone completely uncommented on in the British press.

    It’s very clearly a coordinated campaign that’s gone international.
