    Yeah there’s that too. But the fact of the matter is that none of the other fascists have the ability to straddle the boundary between conservatism and fascism in a way that successfully convinces people it’s not fascism.

    All the others? They all fall into revealing themselves. Farage is teflon. He avoids being tarred with the fascist label extremely successfully, to the point that he left his own party when it had too many open fascists in it. And it collapsed the moment he left it as everyone recognised it as fascist.

    He’s fucking good at it. None of the others can do it. If he were dead right now none of this would be happening. These dickheads hanging flags would be getting correctly labelled as the same people who chanted EDL. He is the one making this movement avoid the fascism label and keeping it from being pushed to the fringe where it belongs.
