The greater good outweighs the cringe tho as folk got off their arses, went out and quelled the far right efforts.
I see far right folk are saying that they never planned to be in Bristol anyway and everyone on the counter protest was hoodwinked by fake text messages. Bullshit imo.
Found that song a bit cringe when I heard it on Saturday and yesterday but actually think leaning into that kind of identity politics against the far right (i.e. white identity politics) is fine anyway - these are all groups targeted by the far right, across class lines.
They're claiming the whole thing nationwide was a decoy, which is very funny as they did show up in some places
Also the idea we're meant to believe that there's that kind of collective organisation among a diffuse nationwide movement that has existed for about 2 weeks and is being done through group chats, all of which have been infiltrated
There'd need to be one master chat including thousands of members and no interlopers at all. Would genuinely be a very big concern if that eas the case
