Addendum this image/caption talks about a #PleaNostalgia for what was, which is now no longer; it talks about a privation for a projected future. In this sense, the meme can be interpreted as a type of #TheoryHauntology [commentary] where the idea of loss (as assumed, extrapolated, seemingly an unkept/unmet/unfulfilled 'promise') leads to a sense of discontentment - a #TheoryGrievancePolitics, which is more poignant than the actual image - the nostalgic image - itself.

Those experts like to call things exactly what they are - namely (following Cas Mudde) far right (the umbrella term) or one of its two variants: extreme right or (populist) radical right. In their defence, journalists will talk about language evolving to cover new phenomena. This argument, however, seems to ignore the fact that both the extreme and populist radical-right variants of the far right have been around for decades. If this is the case, then why is it only recently that the new term has crept into media output? Journalists have even suggested that 'populist radical right' is just too complex a term for their readers to understand. Why use three words when two will do? This is understandable in a headline, perhaps, but in an 800-word report or op-ed? I don't think so. In reality, 'hard right' is less an evolution than a euphemism, effectively sanitising and normalising what it purports to describe. And the recent increase in its use doesn't seem to correlate with any deradicalisation among the parties that journalists are referring to. Instead, it correlates with growth in those parties' electoral support and their proximity to or entry into government. This all suggests that what's driving journalists' use of 'hard right' is their fear of losing access to precious sources were they to call it what it actually is. Or, given that Reform UK (successfully) threatened the BBC with legal action if it were to label the party 'far right', maybe journalists fear an even worse fate than that." https://theloop.ecpr.eu/why-we-need-to-halt-hard-right-in-its-tracks/ #IRLScientistPoliticalCasMudde #LiteralNeologism #PhenomnPopulism #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUK #NMUKBBC

Supplementary #MagazineNewStatesmanJuliaRampen [Muckrack] "By the time Robinson was released from prison in November 2014, a refugee crisis was engulfing Europe. Instead of returning to the streets of Britain, he travelled to Germany and sought to expand the country's anti-Islam movement, Pegida (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West). Next came Brexit, Donald Trump and a new term for a slippery, extremist ideology now dominating corners of the internet: the alt-right. Robinson spied an opportunity. He became a columnist for Canadian far-right website Rebel Media and cultivated a YouTube channel. Until being banned by Twitter earlier this year, he had 413,000 followers. ... But this was not the story the world heard. 'Reason *1776 for the original *Brexit. Don't let America follow in those footsteps,' tweeted Donald Trump Jr, the US president's eldest son, about the case. Conservative US radio host Rush Limbaugh acknowledged that Robinson had 'technically violated a judge's order', but told listeners that 'the real thing to take away from this story is that they categorise this guy as 'far right', which then permits them to spirit him away'. Australian supporters held rallies. In the UK, petitions to 'free Tommy Robinson' have attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. 'I'm sick of being the silenced majority in my own country and I need people like Tommy to fight my corner,' one supporter wrote. On 9 June 2018, as many as 15,000 protesters gathered in central London under the *FreeTommy banner. To his supporters, Robinson is the victim of an oppressive state. Those watching the latest march felt differently; one described the mood to me as 'creepy and uncomfortable'. There is no doubt that, for many, it is Robinson the street fighter who most appeals. 'It is a class culture war,' Jonathan Rutherford, an academic and one of the leading Blue Labour thinkers, told me. Robinson the man, it seems, is less important than what he represents. 'Robinson is a tribune of that working-class white identity - although he'd probably not like the white identity bit,' said Rutherford.

#WebsiteTheConversationEdHarrison, #WebsiteTheConversationOliviaBrown "Last September, Reform leader Nigel Farage dismissed a policy of mass deportations as a 'political impossibility'. Now, a year on, the party has pledged to deport up to 600,000 illegal migrants and retrospectively strip indefinite leave to remain from people already settled in the UK. This is a drastic lurch to the right, even for Reform. Only last year the party was saying it seeks to represent the 'silent majority' and keep out 'extremists'. In explaining this shift, Reform politicians would probably claim this is what the silent majority wants. They would point to a hardening of public opinion on illegal migration." https://theconversation.com/inside-the-far-right-social-media-ecosystem-normalising-extremist-ideas-in-uk-politics-266948 #CharacterisationBoriswave #IRLDogmatistConnorTomlinson [Wikipedia] #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphStevenEdginton #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUK #MagazineUKTheSpectatorGusCarter "One of the striking aspects of the AfD's success in the German elections was the party's popularity among the young, especially men under 25: one in four voted for the hard-right movement.

Australian supporters held rallies. In the UK, petitions to 'free Tommy Robinson' have attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. 'I'm sick of being the silenced majority in my own country and I need people like Tommy to fight my corner,' one supporter wrote. On 9 June 2018, as many as 15,000 protesters gathered in central London under the *FreeTommy banner. To his supporters, Robinson is the victim of an oppressive state. Those watching the latest march felt differently; one described the mood to me as 'creepy and uncomfortable'. There is no doubt that, for many, it is Robinson the street fighter who most appeals. 'It is a class culture war,' Jonathan Rutherford, an academic and one of the leading Blue Labour thinkers, told me. Robinson the man, it seems, is less important than what he represents. 'Robinson is a tribune of that working-class white identity - although he'd probably not like the white identity bit,' said Rutherford. 'He's for them, and of them, and who else is?'" https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2018/06/how-tommy-robinson-became-folk-hero-global-alt-right #2014_ #2015_EuropeanMigrantCrisis #OtheringHateIslamophobiaAntiMuslim #OrgSyndicateHateGroupDEPatriotischeEuropaerGegenDieIslamisierungDesAbendlandesPEGIDA [Wikipedia] https://www.dw.com/en/german-issues-in-a-nutshell-pegida/a-39124630 #PhenomnBrexit #IRLBusinesspersonDonaldTrumpJr #IRLShockJockRushLimbaugh #ToponymOceaniaAustralia #CatchcrySilentMajority #MetaphorWarfareHeroFolk #MetaphorMartyrFreeSpeech #CampaignHashtagFreeTommy #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianMarkTownsend https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jul/29/tommy-robinson-far-right-resurgence-steve-bannon-us-support #IdentityClass #TheoryAffectiveResponseSecondClassCitizen #IRLScholarJonathanRutherford [Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUKBlueLabour [Wikipedia] #IdentityClassBlueCollarWhite

#WebsiteTheConversationEdHarrison, #WebsiteTheConversationOliviaBrown "Last September, Reform leader Nigel Farage dismissed a policy of mass deportations as a 'political impossibility'. Now, a year on, the party has pledged to deport up to 600,000 illegal migrants and retrospectively strip indefinite leave to remain from people already settled in the UK. This is a drastic lurch to the right, even for Reform. Only last year the party was saying it seeks to represent the 'silent majority' and keep out 'extremists'. In explaining this shift, Reform politicians would probably claim this is what the silent majority wants. They would point to a hardening of public opinion on illegal migration." https://theconversation.com/inside-the-far-right-social-media-ecosystem-normalising-extremist-ideas-in-uk-politics-266948 #CharacterisationBoriswave #IRLDogmatistConnorTomlinson [Wikipedia] #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphStevenEdginton #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUK #MagazineUKTheSpectatorGusCarter "One of the striking aspects of the AfD's success in the German elections was the party's popularity among the young, especially men under 25: one in four voted for the hard-right movement. Support for bracingly conservative positions among Gen-Z men isn't just a German phenomenon, however. In Westminster and beyond, a new breed of young right-wing influencers is seeking to shift our politics.

"Sexism against men doesn't exist. Sexism is men oppressing women. Just like how racism is white people oppressing people of colour, racism against white people doesn't exist.
Also, I'm a man, so I can be sexist. Towards women. Not towards other men."
