This is the problem. The neutral/common sense people think they have to give this scum a platform "because democracy" and "can't we all live together". But they do not play by the same rules.
As soon as you let them do their thing you will only hear of them, while the normal media will enter shock state and look stunned at what is happening.
Time to take a more aggressive stance, and not just "let it happen".

Yea, my point is that it seems to me like nowadays every populist right-wing idiot only needs to make a fart and the entire arsenal of the western media immediately goes hysterical! Constantly reporting their nonsense all the time only encourages more idiots to talk even more bollocks..
Like this clown here:

Once everybody said that he's basically an idiot he was like "Hey, I was just joking, alright?"
Who's worth reporting next? This guy maybe?
I think he has a jolly good point and is definitely an official representative of his government or opposition with a lot to say so let's write an article about him, right?
