Influx of far-right posters

[Slightyamusedandsilly]

Why has the site suddenly had an influx of far-right posters? Almost overnight.

Is this a concerted campaign by the black shirts from Dover, Reform or Tommy ten names to infiltrate women's SM?

He did confirm however that they did discuss the option of her becoming a councillor.

This was after she was removed from last year's conference for heckling.

@TopPocketFind He did confirm however that they did discuss the option of her becoming a councillor.

That is not correct.

Do you disagree that there has been an influx of posters with far right views of late? And for the avoidance of doubt, I don't mean people who are concerned about immigration.
I'm talking about people expressing views that there is a conspiracy to make white people a minority, that the UK is being taken over by Islam, that this needs reversing through deportation. That certain citizens are not really citizens because they or their parents weren't born here. Justification and defence of assaults and public disorder in 'the cause'. "The lion has roared" being a particular highlight.
These are not the moderate views imo. The upsurge in these opinions on a site with MN demographic is of interest.

I don’t think influx is the correct phrasing as you were probably closer with your earlier post on the demographics of the site.

It has a left wing bias already. Posters are likely to notice views that are not their own. So if it’s left leaning the posts to the right stand out to them.

I prefer it when women with different political views are not driven off at all, except mnhq can still delete whatever doesn’t meet guidelines.

Yes, you may well be right that it's not an 'influx' and certainly in that an extreme post will stick in the mind where a dozen moderate ones may not. Which is why people will often accuse the site of being 'misandrist' overlooking the balanced posts that acknowledge patterns of male bad behaviour without hating men, and highlighting those where women actually do state they hate men.
You have led me to reflect that this may be the same thing.

Chris Reeve, representing the Lincolnshire branch, clarified that while a conversation did occur regarding her getting involved locally, it was not an offer to be a councillor

Any sign of that footage?

I'm not posting footage filmed by another person. It wouldn't be appropriate.
If there is an investigation then it will be all footage that will be viewed, if not it is irrelevant.

No surprises here then

People post links to footage all the time. Perhaps you could screenshot a still?

Otherwise, Hitchens' Razor applies.

Spot on @5128gap

When I challenge some of the nasty comments about immigrants and asylum seekers, I'm often accused of wanting 'uncontrolled immigration'. When I point out on a thread that no one has called for uncontrolled immigration and it's not what I want, they start on a different means of attack.

There's a real bias on MN where people on the people have to be reasonable but no such constraint applies to those on the right.

Agree. The other line of attack if you challenge the vitriol is being accused of not caring about the murder of Rhiannon Whyte and others who have suffered harm at the hands of asylum seekers. Which is unreasonable and untrue.

It’s because some posters accuse others of ‘weaponisation’.

The same tactics that are used on the CITME threads.

The CITME board is something else. I dip in and see the one or two posters going against the grain and the types of responses. Idk how they keep going.

I remember the 'you don't care about women and girls if you don't support Trump's war' shouts.

CITME is a very divisive board.

I remember the rounding on posters. I see it at times now but avoid it, too much.

I don't visit the CITME board.

From both extremes, that is what I mean with very divisive.

Yes. I remember that too. All those voices have gone rather quiet now we see that Trump's aggression has not helped the women of Iran one iota. As predicted.

You don't even have to challenge anything. I saw a post accusing 'the left' of 'celebrating the brutal murder of an 80 year old woman' as an attempt at whataboutery to distract from Farage et al laughing at the assaults on the protester.
I can only assume they meant that TRA, who did indeed make disgusting comments about Anne Wiidecombes murder, dragged up as the voice of 'the left'. That's not debate and the sharing of alternative views about the issue in the thread. It's a blatant attempt to smear.

People have gone quiet because this discussion is exactly as it was then. And there’s no point to it. It drives posters off.

I am not sure about the credibility of the media bias site. They referenced trans opinion of the BBC via a Good Law sponsored poll. Sure, trans people think the BBC is insufficiently sympathetic, and that is evidence that the BBC isn’t left leaning. 🙄

Doesn’t work for me.

I don't care what other people do, I don't want to post anything that shows peoples' faces without permission, that's known as 'covert photography'..

I think it's Occams Razor BTW ?

Nope. Hitchens' Razor fits the bill here!☺️

There is no such footage
