CW: UKpol, far right
If you want to understand Reform's candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, you won't do better than this piece in Prospect magazine from last summer.
"Goodwin now cuts a rather pathetic figure, his ideological trajectory recalling the American journalist Dorothy Thompson’s description of the “saturnine man” in her 1941 Harper’s essay “Who Goes Nazi?”: “He has an ambition, bitter and burning. It is to rise to such an eminence that no one can ever again humiliate him”." https://web.archive.org/web/20250716052557/https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/philosophy/intellectuals-and-ideas/70456/matthew-goodwin-reform-and-the-politics-of-resentment

In den 1930er Jahren wussten Appeaser um Bedrohung durch den Faschismus, ignorierten sie aber.
Heute ist Bedrohung die #Klimakrise, und wieder haben wir Appeaser.
Die Appeaser von heute unterscheiden sich kaum von denen von 1940.

In the 1930s the appeasers knew about the threat of fascism, but chose to ignore it.
Today the threat is the #ClimateCrisis - and once again we have appeasers.
Not much differentiates the appeasers of today from the ones of 1940.
