UK Race Riots and the Online Civil War

The Brown Note

Taking our country back from immigrants is nothing new to the UK. There was the National Front protests in the 1970s, the Nazi sympathizers in the 1930's. The difference this time, is the internet. After the tragic murder of two children in Southport, was incorrectly linked to a Muslim immigrant, 30% of the internet traffic promoting the initial protests was from the UK, 40% was from the USA. We now have a highly combustible mix of motivated and organised extremists online, gullible Gammons and common garden racists, sovereign citizens and anti-vaxxers, and bad faith actors in the media and politics. Whilst it won't ultimately amount to much, it feels like America dipping its toe in the water for an attempt at impending civil war. And you can bet its coming Australia's way.
