Anna’s Take
England continued to show the world it may be one of the few countries more vile than the United States this past week as lynch mobs broke out to kill Muslims and anyone who looks like they could be a Muslim. This happened due to literal fake news by neo-Nazis claiming the killer of three girls was an undocumented Muslim immigrant. It wasn't. It was a British citizen. Don't let facts get in the way of a good lynch mob, though. Fascists dreaming of an A̶r̶y̶a̶n̶ white state have the taste of blood on their tongues and are out to satisfy their cravings. They burned down a library, looted stores, and tried to burn down a building with refugees. In other words, did all the things they claim leftists do. The difference is, that leftist protests are peaceful and only get violent when the cops show up to violently push protesters out. Conservative "protests" (they're riots, let's be real) like this never have a peaceful stage. They go straight towards violence. It's the only thing they know because they have disturbing fantasies about saving "Western Civilization" from Jews and brown people. They believe they are literally fighting against Satan and demons. The demons being Jews, Muslims, brown people, queers, disabled folk, and frankly, anyone to the left of Nigel Farage. You don't compromise with those you believe to be demonic. You eliminate them. Due to the fascist dehumanization of minorities and Jewish people, that's the entire plan. Endless violence until no more Jews, Muslims, or minorities exist. This is why fascists should never be given credibility or a platform. All they know is violence. Their entire ideology is violence. The end goal is to bring about Jesus' return, which includes the deaths of billions according to the Bible itself. Fascists must be silenced, they must be stopped by any means necessary. Their ideology is destructive and destroys every part of those who fall for fascism and society when allowed to. There can be no peace while fascism continues to exist as an ideology.
