and blaming communism, despite the fact that there's no communism to be found in Europe
If you had actually read or paid any attention to the video included in the article posted, you'd know that it wasn't Nigel pointing fingers at another politician for being "too communist". This isn't in defense of GBN or Nigel. It doesn't matter what source of information is used here, it doesn't change the established behavior of Europeans blaming every slight inconvenience/loss on foreigners, communism, etc... Why does this have to be spelled out for libs.
Just because it's not from your favorite mainstream source of slop, doesn't mean we can't critically engage with the material.
You can fist-fight the air by hyperfixating on the source and keep on missing the point all day long, the fact remains foreigners and communism are the fan-favorite scapegoats of the majority of the Europeans.
Why should I provide more sources if you're just going to derail the conversation and then examine the coat of paint (news platforms) shit stains (like Nigel) are painted with?
