When anti-asylum demonstrations have so much support from the mainstream, a smarter, more tailored message is needed, says campaigner and barrister David Renton
Fascism is inherently nativist, but people who complain about immigrants being housed in hotels might be concerned about the cost. For those (many - I’m not downplaying this) that are simply anti-immigrant, fascism also is inherently opposed to democracy and in favour of the creation of a militarised police state. Where do you get that from “whining about immigrants having shelter”? I don’t think you can.
I think you’re identifying that fascists are anti-immigrant and that fascism has some currency as a negative term and so want to bash anti-immigrant people with the label even though it doesn’t apply.
if you’re whining about immigrants having shelter you ARE a fascist.
