--- Quote from: Zero999 on July 22, 2020, 10:21:13 am ---I'd love to start some sort of anti-woke/PC/censorship campaign, but my greatest fear would be it being hihacked by the far-right groups such as the English Defence League and KKK. There needs to be a strong, sensible, centrist group to deal with this idiots. --- End quote --- That's the problem, the right wing is immediately going to latch onto something like that and pretty soon you've got a shitstorm on your hands and have unwittingly become some sort of conservative martyr. Once you've been associated with a radical group it's hard to distance yourself. |

They have a long history of refusing to make militaristic toys. |
