question for counterextremism scholars out there: when did the 'orcs' thing become so prevalent on the far right, i feel like its gotten more common lately
The UK parliament now has an MP who is openly racist and far right. This is, for the current era, new ground, and it will be interesting to see how - if at all – other MPs respond.

It's at least mildly validating to see people who've complained about my opinions on counterextremism following this guy because they (ideally) think he's just ironically a white nationalist posting racist material from Twitter.
Bamboozled by "Woke Aryan Chad", great job.

A thing that frustrates me a lot when talking about "counterextremism" (terrible name, not useful) is there are certain things, like accelerationism, that are broadly apolitical, but there are like twelve accelerationist leftists worth worrying about.

For a Serious Birthday Opinion as I am wont to give once yearly, until a lot of people who call themselves "counterextremism researchers" stop being gutless babies about the idea that some people are, in fact, just evil, we're fucked.

There's a problem in the counterextremism field of viewing current or former servicemembers effectively operating highly complex networks as lumbering dullards and I think everyone who operates on that assumption is too stupid to do good analysis.

1/4. Of course claims of ‘two tier’ policing are far right extremist propaganda. They’re the inverse of reality. Black people are arrested at the date of 20 per 1000 and White people at 9 per 1000. The claim is designed to make White people feel victimised.
