Rise of the far-right

Looks like that dreadful multiple shooting in Germany last night was the work of a far-right terrorist.

Not sure how the rest of you lot feel, but the recent strong shift to the right concerns me greatly.

I was thinking thus even before the shooting. Especially in English speaking countries with Donald Trump and Dominic Cummings being able to gain power and cement it solely by appealing to a far right, nasty and unthinking group of people . It’s genuinely scary
 
The circle will turn again when the rabid racist and mean spirited
s hit house people die out and a more considerate,progressive and understanding human returns to the scene.

Waiting for people to die will be rough. Especially giving how many will suffer in the meantime.
Still if you look at the average far right supporter they are one step away from a port and Stilton related pulmonary embolism anyway

Thing is ST you are young enough to see the change when it comes and it will.I
A lot of old people will be remembered for the harm they did.
 
Pretty sure the Met recently told us that right wing terrorism was more of a concern for them than ISIS et al.
Even if it isn’t - its sad times

Just as well we have a government who will stand strong against it
Oh wait......
 
Well SLY aka Tommy Robinson’s right hand man Danny Thommo is taking a step back for family reasons (apparently its because he’s going to court about releasing details about the kid in care against social services wishes.
 
Yes, I agree nowthen but it’s easier to fight if it’s only in our country that we have to concentrate on

Shouldn't it be fought in all countries wherever it exists? Yes, get your own house in order of course but many of these groups are international and so maybe cooperation with other countries is a better approach?
 
“but the recent strong shift to the right concerns me greatly”

Does the increasing number of terror attacks in the name of religion also concern you greatly? I read today that there have been 35,000 in the name of Islam alone since 9/11.

I noticed the outrage quickly subsided once the details of the Regents Park Mosque attack emerged.
 
Thing is religious nut job attacks can’t be defined by political preference therefore it’s only attacks like this nutter that concern the left
 
Interesting article I read of a French journalist held hostage by ISIS about 3-4 years ago. All of her conversations with her kidnappers found no religious drive to their grievances, just politics.
 
They are disturbed individuals with mental health issues.....can’t really assign them to a particular group.
 
Most terrorism, regardless of political or religious leaning, requires that individuals be indoctrinated into a certain way of thinking.
Sadly, modern politics is just as bad at radicalising supporters and attempting to skew their worldview as a lot of fundamental terrorist groups.
You only need to look across the pond to see how polarisation, the politics of them and us, the erosion of norms extending to the law and beyond and the creation of alternative facts can shape the direction a country is heading.
The big danger is that the population becomes so swept up in it or even worse, so apathetic towards it that the slide becomes dangerous.
