Guest article from an associate of Resisting Hate who wishes to remain anonymous. Last year I was assaulted and heavily injured, my crime, wearing a Remain button and having a slight accent, luckily my dog who was roaming in the bushes heard me scream and saw the attacker off, which stopped him from doing more […]
Being involved in anti hate activism in the year that will see Article 50 triggered in Britain, Donald Trump take the presidency in the USA and – potentially – several far right governments established in Europe is no walk in the park. Make no mistake, these are challenging times. Hate is encroaching into the fabric […]
I write this on the eve of President Donald Trump’s inauguration. I still can’t say that with a straight face, the sheer fact that so many people were taken in by such an obvious fraud is staggering. However, we have to accept that what’s done is done. Barring a legal challenge (for which there must […]
Newton told us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and although the science behind that may elude the author of this article, the premise doesn’t. The third law of motion is surprisingly apropos to the wave of Anti Hate activism on social media. Online hate was initially confined in the […]
Katie Hopkins has the responsible job of being employed by the UK press. The manner in which she conducts herself in this job, both in her column at the Daily Mail and on her talk show at LBC are often border line offensive and discriminatory. However it is her personal Twitter account where the hate […]
GAB claims to be the social network that encourages free speech. Whether this was a genuine intention, or simply an excuse, is unknown, but the site has become synonymous with racism and neo-nazis (or Alt-Right as they prefer to be known nowadays). Another issue is the security of the site, which is apparently very poor. […]
This cherubic looking schoolboy is Jack Renshaw, the leader of youth Neo Nazi group National Action. The group was proscribed by the British government for promoting racist and Anti Semitic behaviours. Jack repeatedly makes Twitter accounts to attempt to recruit followers to his extremist (and nonsensical) views. However he is usually spotted and suspended before […]
Donald Trump is a man best suited to selling cars, or possibly double glazing. He is not a man most people would consider fit to run their bath, let alone their country, yet that is what is about to happen to the USA. Despite not getting as many votes as his rival Hillary Clinton, he […]
Pepe the Frog began life as an innocuous cartoon figure envisioned by artist Matt Furie. However as his popularity grew he became the iconic symbol of the self styled “Alt right” and became synonymous with Anti Semitism, Neo Nazism and hate crime. Pepe is one of the most common memes on the internet. There is […]
The Twitter user who calls himself James Bond (yes, he is that delusional) claims that his group of racists and Islamophobes support Israel and Jews. Unfortunately the evidence does not back up these claims
Claire Khaw is an ex member of the BNP who is hoping to pursue a career in the media. Unfortunately her views are deeply entrenched in far right hate and Nazism so this is proving difficult for her. We encountered Claire on social media the other day discussing her views on children with disabilities. Her […]
To the generation with parents and grandparents who fought in the Second World War and who learned about the Holocaust, Fascism and the dangers of far right radicalisation on the school curriculum Nazism seemed a horror consigned to the most shameful parts of modern history. It was unthinkable that an ideology as discriminative and inhumane […]
