Comments

Ember Wolf: what's going on now, after the protests in london last week?
Cipher Talon: looks like another symptom of the continent-wide anxiety and fragmentation
Dusk Vesper: saw something similar in France years ago, seems like tactics are getting replicated, where's the counter-movement?
Max Larp: can't say i'm surprised by all these protests cropping up, but the whole thing does feel like it's being sensationalized. still can't help but wonder what prompted so many
Lucas: i was really struck by those Dover protests, something about the image of them marching through the town just didn't sit right with me. seems like they're getting way too much attention
Mirage Shard: unrecognizable to me, these anti-migrant protests in Dover are more thuggish than effective
Karimluna: dont wanna see UK politics echo the US, already bad enough over here
Diego: no way this is just another example of "mainstreaming" extremism, making them relatable rather than calling it out for what it is
Dusk Mantis: can't say i'm surprised given the state of politics here. that march on Dover looked like something from a dystopian novel though
Suzukiarlo: to be honest, i'm not so convinced by the "historic win" label - it's been clear for years that AfD was on the rise. what's more interesting to
Grim Vector: let's not jump to conclusions yet, we've had protests before that didn't amount to much. still worried about these movements though
