@basilfawlty89 it’s true. These issues are all over the news here

@Jenny1234 I understand, but maybe don't link to white supremacist Holocaust denying sources?
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@basilfawlty89 why would you think they are white uppermost holocaust denying sources
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@Jenny1234 read above.
Gavin McInnes literally is part of a violent Neo-Fascist street militia.

@basilfawlty89 Ezra Levant? Spearheads holocaust denial? Yes, they were a little careless about who they took on sometimes but it was nothing a good firing couldn't fix
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@ekwalizur I wouldn't call supporting a fascist march, covid conspiracy theories and climate change denial a "little careless".
ekwalizur · 41-45, M
@basilfawlty89 not if you're Levant. His politics means he has a lot in common with all of the above as well as holocaust deniers. He's just against holocaust denial

@basilfawlty89 What's happened around the area Jenny and I live is that about 200K Indians have immigrated over the last 20 years. It is a massive influx and rapid demographic change. It does feel like an invasion of sorts. It does freak you out. Easy to be tolerant when you are not here.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@JimboSaturn sure. Must be hard when a bunch of foreigners show up and just settle. Wonder how Native Americans felt...
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@basilfawlty89 I get your point. But we don't even have the infrastruture to support this wave regardless of their nationality. However, they are good immigrants, they work, create jobs, value family and education, and are not criminal.
But like I said it's easy to be judgemental if you live in a white bubble. Imagine 200 - 500K people moving into your town.

@basilfawlty89 Yes but was there a huge and rapid demographic change ? Its the change that freaks people out.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@JimboSaturn I can assure it's nonsense. We have a large Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi population, some of them recent immigrants. Some of the most hygiene conscious people I've met.
Like y'all do realize how often Muslims (as some of them are) must wash per day, right?

@basilfawlty89 Have you read my responses? I've been hammering that point of its falsehood with several sources. I agree I work with many Indians, its utter nonsense

@JimboSaturn even so, using Rebel News as a source is about as unbiased as using Fox and OAN for news about the Trump administration.
My point to Jenny was use a more credible source.

@basilfawlty89 Agreed Rebel news wants to spread hate and division. The OP is designed to anger and scare people.
