So it’s more a case of general ‘mob mentality’ rather than a belief in their bigoted cause? That makes sense.

It’s good they’ve started with the online ‘influencers’, but is it likely that so many young (11-15 iirc) kids became so radicalized so quickly just from these online sources?
Interesting. Edited my 1st comment for clarity, hopefully.
Interesting downvotes.
So people want the adults that radicalized these kids to get off with no punishment?
That’s a hot take I didn’t expect from here!
So they will be going after the groomers next, right? Right?
edit for clarity; the groomers of the multiple far-right kids that have so far been charged.
How did you guess?
Look you’ve been shot down so many times by so many people, but ‘they’re all wrong and I’m right’ is your take away?
I’m beginning to think troll rather than misguided.
I’ll say it loud so those at the back can hear too:
YOU CAN’T FIGHT RACISM WITH MORE RACISM!
It really is quite simple.
Blocking you seems like the best idea in this thread so far.
Absolutely we all have blind spots, I just think OP’s blind spot is addressing ‘white people’ like none of us live with, and around many cultures, not just races.
If someone were to address my local Polish or Bangladeshi or Muslim or whatever community the same way OP is addressing ‘white people’ in this post I would call it borderline racist and in fact it would fit in OP’s original ‘don’t do’ list.
I appreciate it probably comes from good intentions, but generalizing how entire groups of people should change to suit another group of people is a slippery slope.
As someone interviewed on TV asked; Are these more adverts rather than artworks?
No, but the things they are saying, maybe inadvertently, are starting to seem that way.
Swap ‘black’ and ‘white’ in their do not do list. Does it sound racist now?
As you say, all racism isn’t obvious. A quick look at their post history shows 7 or 8 race related posts recently.
Repeatedly stating white people should do or not do specific things.
This seems to me like the definition of racism at it’s roots.
There’s currently only 1 user that I’ve noticed that keeps bringing race up.
I bet I can boil it down to just 1 cause… Racist cunts!
~goes to read article~
Yep, racist cunts!
“A plurality vote (in North American English) or relative majority (in British English)[1] describes the circumstance when a party, candidate, or proposition polls more votes than any other but does not receive more than half of all votes cast.”
400 - “We apologize again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.”
403 - “We are the Knights Who Say… Ni!”
404 - “This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It’s stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir, invisible. This is an ex-parrot.”
Congratulations feddit.uk!
Thank you to all those who make it worth being here!
Would be a shame to defederate and lose the good communities.
The couple of niche game communities I use on .ml have very little participation as it is, and would likely not survive even a few users moving to c/'s on other instances.
Not that I have any better suggestions, other than just blocking the troublesome political c/'s on .ml.
Mandatory volunteer work? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
There’s one near me that’s only about 200 meters. Nothing joining for miles in either direction.
I suppose it puts a tick in a box somewhere.
