He's also one of the *veeery* old trolls back. He was permabanned from livejournal and they kept shutting down his socks, so now he's facebook crossposting.
It's typical alt-right fodder. Poster-troll tries to elicit an hysterical counter-reaction from presumed resident "progressives," whose predictability and high-pitched whinging is taken by the troll as an indication of such troll's superiority and cleverness; not realizing, of course, that the troll's own predictability and blatant (put-on) "racism" just as equally entails the inference that the troll is inferior to those who choose not to take the bait.
It's all very boring and typical, particularly as it generally comes from this same poster with a kind of regularity. I suspect, timed for when the troll anticipates this community's mods might be otherwise engaged.
Except I think we need to see this sort of stuff, and not because we agree with it or are in any way sympathetic towards it.
When folk post this sort of thing I wonder how much of it is actually 4chan pisstake and how much is out and out racism. Mind you, those categories are not exclusive.
Per a previous comment on another post. Yes, Europe does have actual far-right parties in positions of relative power and influence (so does the US, BTW) but do you know how they are funded, and from where? You might be surprised at how charities, and not just Muslim ones, fund extremism. (Though I'm not betting on the surprise factor.) And maybe even intrigued at those trans-Atlantic think-tanks directing funding from investments they control or supervise. Mind you, I have my suspicions that Uncle Vlad has been funding part of the European far-right too; not just ahem individual anonymous super-rich business folk based in the US who don't pay their taxes thanks to Bermuda etc.
