    Matteo Salvini, Italy's interior minister: “We need a mass purification. Street by street, quarter by quarter.” He's talking about immigrants, by the way.

        The eight stages of genocide are classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination, and denial.

        Sadly by the time most Brits might finally overcome their ‘must not cause a fuss’ ‘oh golly gosh, what a terrible mess’ lethargy and spring into action they’d long be in deepest darkest fascist land.

        We’re well on our way there already. #May spouts her lies at PMQs and the ‘great & good’ behind her just laugh. She’s already got her private army walking the streets of Kensington & Chelsea and the supporters of Corbyn are classed as thugs. #JC4PM

        there needs to be some serious recalibration of the term ‘right-wing’. europe is being overrun by the populist alt-right & fascism, all moderate european political parties need to start cooperating to stop this before it gets completely out of control

        Stop me if I’m wrong. But didn’t Hitler exterminate his own citizens and invade other countries. Modern leaders are merely trying to prevent their countries from being overrun by immigrants. There’s a difference.
