    He just has to adopt the shittiest views possible. So predictable. Must be his kink or something.

      It’s a similar tactic to Trump that being permanently seen and heard is more important than any of the content.

        Curious your comment was minimized under “more comments.”

        That is the way these far right operate, they are loud, bombastic, aggressive. They get attacked but because everyone knows how fucked our system is right now, they appear to be fighting the system.

        They are fighting to make it worse, the way to stop them would be to offer popular reform honestly. But alas that is more dreaded amongst our “left” parties than the right winning, or fascists.

      It’s how he reaches out to the dumbest members of society and maintains some kind of support.

      Same tactic Trump uses.

      Put them all on Epstein island then finally dispose of all the leftover napalm in the same place.

      Because rich weirdos keep throwing him money. The average member of the public is better than the rich weirdos, but we have to keep dealing with rich weirdos shit because rich.

        but doesn’t he need to get elected to something every so often? or is he just finger pointed to be the leader of a UK political party?

        PS: pardon my ignorance of UK politics

          He only needs to be agreed to be leader of his party to continue, then rule it with an iron fist and remove any rival who gets too popular, such as the even nuttier Rupert Lowe.

          Last election, Farage did actually find a town foolish enough to elect him (Clacton, where he rarely goes), but it’s not required (the current Green England&Wales leader isn’t an MP) and Farage is a zombie leader who has kept on and on and on through many election defeats and parties falling apart.

      Strong odds he’s the next Prime Minister. Unfortunately at least 50% of my countrymen are (still) stupid enough to believe the lies.

      It’s Nigel Farage, one of the chief proponents of Brexit. He’s still sticking to his guns that it was an inspired idea and a net positive, despite abundant systemic and anecdotal evidence to the contrary. So the real takeaway is “Farage continues to spout idiocy”.

      The right wing movements of all western countries are not really movements of that country. They are movements that are subservient to capital. The ultimate servants of capital will always serve the interest of the United States.

        They are now, but if they achieve the absolute power they are trying to get, they will in alliance with factions of capital, especially the parasitic ones, cannibalize the rest. It is as inevitable as winter following summer.
