I don't think anyone is saying his racism doesn't matter and of course it should be called out

The issue is that it is done so as an individual flaw rather than as part of a wider political project which has been cleared for decades and enabled by mainstream actors. The latter matters far more

Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social · 1d

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

The media really need to go after the news Farage made racist and fascist statements and exhibited such behaviour as a youth and thus 'might' be racist or else they might be accused of or have to acknowledge 'missing' all that they so effectively helped whitewash and mainstream #mainstreaming

OK, look, I am all for talking about spectacle dystopias (i.e. evil game shows), but this is exactly the opposite of a new trend or new genre. The first spectacle dystopia was published in 1878, and it's been a sci-fi staple ever since the wide adoption television in the 1950s. 1/x

The American obsession with deadly game shows—both the fictional ones and the real-life simulacra—reflects a shift in the national mood to something increasingly zero-sum. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/the-most-dangerous-genre

The Most Dangerous Genre

Our obsession with deadly game shows—from “The Running Man” and “Squid Game” to MrBeast’s real-life reënactments—reflects a shift in the national mood to something increasingly zero-sum.
