Nigel Farage compared Black Lives Matter
protestors to the Taliban.
He described slave trader Edward Colston as a "philanthropist.
He called Enoch Powell his political hero, and stated the "basic principle of Powell's anti-immigration "Rivers of Blood" speech was correct.

The answer to right-wing populism isn't left-wing populism.
It's someone decent, with moral scruples, a workable plan and a chance of getting elected.
If democracies just bounce from one charismatic leader from different sides to the other we're doomed.

Woke to find we're supposed to feel sympathy for David Cameron. One of the entitled posh idiots who inflicted a needless political cruelty on the country in the form of austerity.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
