It’s incomprehensible to me that limey fash look up to the guy. Can someone from TERF island explain to me what’s happening on the ground, how is he mobilizing millions of pedophiles across the country when he’s doing the proverbial pants shitting routine on camera every day?

Because they are losers as well. The whole narrative revolves around injured British pride.

    Do they just latch on to any old schmuck? Because if so, some of you UK comrades need to start grifting stat. Last video I saw of him, he goes up to a random black dude to humiliate him and the man turns out to be the Somali migrant who saved German school children from an ISIS sympathizer.

    You are competing against absolute clowns, go get that money.

    Well, for one, I am not in the UK, I just listen to a lot of UK podcasts and have friends from there, and two, the majority of the right-wing social media out there is already grift, mostly from the UK, but also a substantial portion is from people in South-East Asian and India who barely understand English politics but understand that racism gets clicks. It's literally just people following the algorithm and capitalizing on the aggrievement market.

    It's not just any old schmuck though, TR has a long history within the far right in England, however you can very easily make up and capitalize on the racist narratives, if you wanted to do that.

    So, like, get on it, king. Ride that Zuckerberg and Musk money.

    Perhaps a random comparison, but it's the same reason the right ditched the more polished Ben Shapiro in favor of the more far right Asmongold in the Youtube sphere.

    Unless you have a complete lack of appeal you're not viewed as authentic by an increased number of cultivated losers as the social decline also produces a decline in the quality of its figureheads.

    Its the same thing with Asmongold. He's literally a fucking troglodyte and the worst person ever, a statement which most of his fans would probably agree with, and yet he's popular. I think white people want to see the worst white people ever be successful out of their own warped sense of racial solidarity

    The followings of fascist influencers are never organic. If left to their devices they'd be stuck in an endless loop of stepping on rakes.

    Huge amount of financial backing by elements of the British ruling class.

    Deeply ingrained racism in your average TERF islander.

    Gammons are huge schmucks for any toff who creates a faux working class persona (see also Nigel Farage).

    His early supporters were football lads who just want an excuse to get drunk and punch things, he gave 'em something to punch when the footie's off season.

    Have you seen Nigel Farage? Kier Starmer? British politicians are so far down the heap they're living in bogwater. The "left" is fascinated by a naked politique whose only qualification is being able to hold a conversation with a northern accent.

    Literally nobody in the island's political system has a grain of swagger so how could we expect a troglodytic disease like robinson to be in any way appealing to anyone but his fellow swamp people

    My guess is that while we watch videos making fun of the far right, including Tommy, they're watching videos that make him out to be a hero and a victim; they watch content creators we wouldn't, and they watch them zealously. Day in and day out, it's the only content they watch, and it becomes how they understand the world.

    I'm not from the UK. Tommy Robinson is a Zionist and paid by the Israel government.
