There have been three incidents recently that got me digging deeper into the etymology of some of the common words we use without considering the meaning. The first was in a tweet on Twitter where I used the term “fuzzy wuzzy” to describe somebody’s feelings. I was thinking cute fluffy bears. It turns out that […]
Do you think racism is more of a problem today than it was in the 1980s? I think the racism we are seeing today is very different to the racism of the 1980s. Being labelled a racist has a lot more stigma attached to it than it did 30 years ago and that has made […]
Laura Towler, a pseudonym for Laura Tyrie, is a 33 year old white nationalist (White Supremacist), anti-Semitic and great replacement conspiracy theorist, active on YouTube, BitChute and Twitter. Laura, as Deputy Leader, along with Mark Collett, neo-Nazi and former head of publicity for the BNP, leads Patriotic Alternative, a far-right white nationalist Neo Nazi group […]
First, read: “The Case For Deplatforming: National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM)”. It is easy to deplatform neo-Nazi NSBM (‘National Socialist Black Metal’) bands from the many online platforms with ‘Terms and Conditions’ or ‘Acceptable Use Policies’ which prohibit calls to violence, dehumanising language around race or religion, and hate speech in general. The platforms just need […]
This is a guest article by an individual called Edward who has left the far right movement and who approached Resisting Hate asking if we could help him reach other people so he could educate them on how to leave the movement once fallen victim to the hate rhetoric. We were only too glad to […]
I’ve published quite a lot about how Resisting Hate evolved from an online opposition group to an anti hate organisation but what I haven’t touched on much is my own origins as an anti hate activist and how I came to be the public founder of what has become one of the most contentious anti […]
As the leaves on our pre autumnal leaves start to change colour and fall, the chaos that is 2020 remains very far from receding. A look at recent trends show that the infection rate is once again beginning to rise and the Academy of Medical Sciences is predicting a winter with up to 120,000 Covid […]
Guest article by a former member of Britain First Hello, my name is James Crow, I’m from Rotherham in South Yorkshire and I’m a former member of the far-right group Britain First, I’ve decided to write this article to tell you all about my experiences in the far-right, why I left and what I believe […]
Resisting Hate has previously written about Caolan ‘my name is pronounced Kay-Lin’ Robertson, his descent into far right extremism and former employment with Rebel Media and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson. Caolan has since fallen from grace with both parties, and indeed much of the far right, due to allegations of fraud, extortion, blackmail and […]
Surely Nazis are a thing of the past? Up until about ten years ago they were. The Neo Nazi skinheads of the 1980s had little to do with the jackboot wearing fascists behind the Holocaust. Neo Nazism was really just a synonym for thuggery and racism. But in the last few years we have started […]
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, race has been at the forefront of international discourse. From the brutal murder of George Floyd in the US to the rise in anti-Asian hate crime, both overt and covert forms of racism have been exposed for what they are: a pandemic within itself. In the UK, far preceding the Coronavirus […]
Probably the fastest growing area of hatred online is Transphobia. This prejudice is directed to both the hatred of both people who correct their gender (and who live as a different gender to the one they were born with) and people who choose to dress as the opposite gender. Transphobia hit the headlines recently after […]
