The only ideology they have is infinite consumption, and he has affected that, so now they are upset. What they wanted, by the same token, was not free speech but infinite speech - to say what they liked without backlash. And that deserved backlash is upsetting them too. That's basically it.

Any credible future history of the rise of the early c21st UK far right will include a chapter on the crucial process of mainstreaming, in which Goodwin and the rest of the "legitimate concerns" gang will feature prominently. His later journey will be a footnote.

If anything, Goodwin was far more useful to the far right back then than he is now. Wittingly or unwittingly, he acted as a plausibly authoritative outrider, mainstreaming their "concerns" and undermining the norms that had kept them marginalised until then.

To what extent is it radicalisation and to what extent is it his real self being revealed? I suspect it's both. Ten years ago he was whitewashing racism as the legitimate concerns of the downtrodden and deriding anti-racists as a cosmopolitan elite. These were not exactly small red flags.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Solidarity is not a slogan; it is a practice.
Every bit of progress we’ve made, from trade union rights to migrant justice, was won not because those in power handed it down, but because ordinary people demanded it. And took action to make it happen. ⬇️
