    To be fair, anything, literally anything, that Nigel Farage says, can and should be dismissed as nonsense. If he would say the sky is blue, dismiss it. If you want to know the color of the sky, you can find a better source of information.

      If you had actually read or paid any attention to the video included in the article posted, you’d know that it wasn’t Nigel pointing fingers at another politician for being “too communist”. This isn’t in defense of GBN or Nigel. It doesn’t matter what source of information is used here, it doesn’t change the established behavior of Europeans blaming every slight inconvenience/loss on foreigners, communism, etc… Why does this have to be spelled out for libs.

      Just because it’s not from your favorite mainstream source of slop, doesn’t mean we can’t critically engage with the material.

        The source matters if you want to consider investing any time in it. Nigel Farage is a source that should make you completely dismiss it. He is a liar and fraud.

        Nigel Farage himself hates immigrants and communism. His guest is a far-right policing, who blames communism and without checking, I bet he is against immigration. Your source is GBN. They gave Nigel Farage a prime time show.

        So your sources of Europeans blaming Immigrants and communism, are literally political actors who are trying to make a career with it. In an article, in which they complain that their ability of spreading misinformation according to their political agenda, got reduced, by someone that they identify as the eu gold boy.

        In other words, your evidence that Europeans are blaming communism, is specifically a bias “news” reporting of a group of people with a history of doing that, in which they complain about people specifically fighting against their propaganda and arguably winning.

          You can fist-fight the air by hyperfixating on the source and keep on missing the point all day long, the fact remains foreigners and communism are the fan-favorite scapegoats of the majority of the Europeans.

              Why should I provide more sources if you’re just going to derail the conversation and then examine the coat of paint (news platforms) shit stains (like Nigel) are painted with?
