An antagonist from a U.K. government-funded learning course on extremism and radicalization has become an unexpected symbol of anti-immigration online. Here's what you need to know.
I think for what it is, it’s all right. Not good per se, but it’s a 10 minute exercise in a larger lesson.
The tiktok scene is stupid, where if you “do your research” you get radicalised, so the correct option is to “just ignore it”
It is, like maybe it’s just me but who’s idea of doing research is going onto someone’s bio and going to their website? I get some people do this, but the good option should have been looking it up in a reputable news source.
so the correct option is to “just ignore it” and then you find out apparently a charity is doing something the government stopped doing (how is that a good thing???).
Peak neoliberalism.
Then at the end you nearly get arrested if you attend a protest. Not a good message to send.
It’s accurate at least, even if that is depressing.
Also quite sloppy how when you do choose the correct option you literally lose all of your friends. Couldn’t they have had you do research and debunk your friend’s claims?
I’ll defend them on this, they’re trying to say don’t let peer pressure radicalise you. Maybe not the best message that not becoming a racist will leave you lonely and friendless, but I see what they were going for.
I think the best way to actually make someone less racist in the youth is to create an environment where they can befriend immigrants
I completely agree, but that only works if there are actually immigrants around. Hull is 100% white, so this goes into the question of how do you deradicalise people when exposure isn’t an option.
