Extremist groups are latching on to ex-president’s xenophobic messages to recruit people and spread ideology
Neo-Nazi groups and the online far right are latching on to the anti-immigration rhetoric coming from Donald Trump’s campaign for the White House in an effort to recruit new supporters and spread their extremism to broader audiences.
After the Republican national convention in July, where supporters waved “MASS DEPORTATION NOW!” placards, it became clear that Trump’s xenophobia has become part of the Republican establishment. Upon his return to X, formerly known as Twitter, Trump released a stream of images targeting Vice-President Kamala Harris’s stance on the border and immigration.
Among them were memes inferring the Democrats will bring rapists into the country and a 2012 photo of men in Karachi, Pakistan, burning an American flag with the caption: “Meet your neighbors […] IF KAMALA WINS.”
Then all your white asses can get on a boat and sail back to Ireland or Germany, or wherever your alien, immigrant ancestors came from and we can give this land back to its rightful owners, Native Americans. We are all immigrants/refugees, you dumb fucks.
No thanks. We didn’t send them and we don’t want their descendants.
I think we all agreed this was what Australia was for a long time ago.
I don’t know that the indigenous Australians agreed to that.
Yeah they’d have a valid grounds for resistance if a load of white people who had been deported decided to show up and take their land, right?
Europe didn’t send their best went they founded America…
Australia is taken now, so Send them to Antarctica this time
Central Australia is fairly open
First off, youse did send them. You exiled your religious nutters to the US, and let them fester.
Secondly fuck off, America was the penal colony before Australia. It only stopped because they wanted to kill more indigenous peoples and so had a revolution.
I assure you Ireland didn’t “send” anyone.
Many of youse came over voluntarily as free settlers. And youse still continue to voluntarily come today.
Do you understand that someone moving for economic, cultural or pleasure reasons is not the same as their country sending them? What responsibility do we have for them that we should take then back?
Ireland’s population didn’t stop shrinking after the 1840s Famine until 1963. Those that stayed turned the country from agricultural backwater to a net-contributing EU nation. We didn’t have to displace anyone, strip mine a continent, or restrict immigration to whites only either to achieve that.
They hoped on boats from Ireland and Britain and sailed from there, that’s the same shit matey. Youse sent them to us. Doesn’t matter why they were sent but Ireland allowed it and continues to allow it, so they have blame.
Stop acting so smug. And your economy is from being a tax haven.
Ireland allowed it? That’s a very interesting take. Could you expand on that please?
