People have accused me of being a Musk hater for years, but it is now a badge I wear with pride, given that the past year has consisted of Musk demonstrating that he is a white supremacist fascist c**t. Though, as a side note, when did hating Nazis stop being the default? Either way, I am British: Musk has almost no connection to my country, and there isn’t even a Tesla factory here. Yet, over the weekend, he spoke at a far-right rally in London and tried to foment a violent coup against our democratically elected government. In my opinion, this makes Musk undeniably a fascist terrorist. Let me explain.
Musk appeared at the Tommy Robinson “Unite the Kingdom” rally via video link (because, of course, remote work is only okay when he does it).
During the call, Musk called for the “dissolution of Parliament”, which is a call for the dissolution of the UK government. Most people would call for a general election, as that is the democratic process required to trigger this course of action and the reformation of a new government. The fact that Musk used the phrase “dissolution of Parliament” rather than “general election” heavily implies he wants to instigate a coup. He then peddled his favourite falsehood by claiming that “massive uncontrolled migration” was causing the “destruction of Britain”, before cranking things up to eleven by saying that “violence is coming” and that “you either fight back or you die.”
So, Musk wasn’t just calling for a coup, but a violent one.
And it wasn’t like the attendees at the rally didn’t notice this either. The police are currently searching for a man who called for Keir Starmer, the UK Prime Minister, to be killed.
But here’s the thing: everything Musk said is demonstrably wrong.
Immigrants
To begin with, there is zero credible evidence that immigrants commit more crimes in the UK. In fact, like the US, numerous studies suggest that migrants actually commit fewer crimes on average than the native-born population.
Furthermore, British culture is inherently multicultural, as our colonial empire has touched most of the world. Not to mention the fact that the majority of public services and the wider economy depend on migrants to function. Ultimately, it has been proven that migrants significantly boost our economy.
So, these migrants are not detrimental to Britain at all! In fact, they make it.
Violence
Musk’s claims of “violence” being committed against these extreme right-wing groups are also complete nonsense and insanely hypocritical.
Research has found that globally, the extreme right is significantly more likely to commit acts of political violence than the left. In fact, in the US, all extremist mass killings in 2022 were incited by the far right. Further research discovered that this is because right-wing violence tends to be compulsive and blames the individual, often leading to assassinations and riots — whereas left-wing “violence” tends to be organised and places the blame on institutions and systems, not the individual, so they tend to sabotage things rather than commit acts of violence towards people.
In fact, many reported acts of violence by the left are often the result of smear campaigns from the far right.
A great example of this is the recent killing of Charlie Kirk. MAGA politicians, journalists and even some law enforcement continue to insist the killer was left-leaning. However, there is mounting evidence that he was, in fact, part of the Groypers movement, which is more right-leaning than MAGA, and provides zero evidence of any left-leaning tendencies.
Or take the BLM protests, which, according to the media, were the last violent act in the UK by the left. But BLM wasn’t a left movement; it was an anti-racism movement, particularly here in the UK, where racism isn’t as closely tied to conservatism. Additionally, these protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, with only a few arrested from the millions that participated.
Yet, somehow, that didn’t stop the Israeli ADL from falsely claiming that anti-fascist movements used the protests as cover to commit acts of violence. I wonder why a neo-fascist, colonial imperialist state that is hellbent on committing genocide wants to falsely accuse a left-leaning anti-fascist movement of violence? Oh, I know why — to justify its own violence.
