Unrestricted immigration into Europe seems more responsible than Elon for inciting things at the present time.


Again, immigrants are not committing crimes en masse. Far right use this to stoke fears and scarcity and Elon is a key figure in that with his "Roman salutes"

He adds fuel to the fire given his huge status and worldwide reach through X. He’s one of the reasons that the US refugee program has only been accepting white South Africans for the past six months.

Seems like another incident of far-right anti-immigration tactics stoked by Musk/X and bots.

POV: A Sudanese man is appropriately charged and detained after stabbing another man. No other details are given. Out come the anti-immigrants because how dare an immigrant harm one of us...only WE WHITE MEN are allowed to do the harming.



Wait - so the whole thing is fake news? Are the images just AI fabrications or something. ?


Are you daft? Its real. Violence stoked by far right anti immigrant bots who were targeting immigrants in Belfast because a Sudanese immigrant stabbed someone. Again, white men can commit crimes and it is not a reflection on ALL white men. In a racial and xenophobic world all immigrants should pay for the crime of one immigrant, all black people are thugs because one black person is a thug, all women are whores because one woman cheated.

Now ask yourself who is performing the violent acts of property destruction, threats of harm, etc.
"Mr. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had urged people to take to the streets after what he called an “invader attack on our people” in posts on social media. The billionaire Elon Musk had shared lists of locations around Northern Ireland for people to gather and shared posts by far-right figures in Britain."

Gather for what? A man committed a crime. He was detained and charged. He will go to trial.




In essence your argument is this was merely an isolated incident involving one victim and one primary assailant, and that demonstrators were wrong to generalize based on the race of these two individuals.

How is this Belfast attack any different than the rioting following the George Floyd situation?

It might be a good time to remember that the current asylum system was born out of the Second World War. When refugees showed up saying that they would be killed or imprisoned due to their race, religion, or political views and most countries said something like “sounds like a you problem” and sent them back to die. After ww2, most counties then felt bad and signed the jnternarional convention on refugees which includes a duty of non-refoulement — not return — for individuals who claim political or racial/religious persecution in their home country.

I have a different question, which is that this guy seems like he was just batsh&t crazy, and maybe if there were more checkin interviews, would someone have noticed that? This wasn’t a stabbing-mugging or even a bar fight. He sounds like he was 100% off his rocker so I’m wondering if someone noticed that and reported it in any way. This seems to me less an immigration issue and more the typical issue that most cities don’t have any way to deal with the extremely mentally ill. Like that guy who poured a gallon of urine over some poor women in McPherson square a couple years ago, or the guy who ran up to someone in Logan circle and stabbed them with no warning.


The assailant clearly seemed batshit crazy. I hope there’s more reporting on that.

The government is trying to clamp down on these videos due to racial tensions.


Right so like I said all non-white people are an aggregate for the far-right. A Sudanese asylum refugee should be counted alongside a British Sikh non-immigrant.

When POC commit crimes its always tribal. They, them is the issue and there is seemingly no issue with using pronouns when denouncing them (he). When non-POC commit crimes its always bad egg, bad apple, troubled, MH issues, etc.

And I am sure Ill get the "its not about color/race" responses but apparently it is.


Yes, the far right does that. However, the far left has blinders the other way.

You should know that the Sikh guy has almost universally been described as a bad egg, bad apple, troubled etc and the outrage has been focused on the police treating his family's lies as truths which led to them treating the dying victim as the perpetrator. The racist aspect of the stabbing itself has been downplayed.

Life does not fit into our neat assumptions.

Correct, by his own family and Sikh community.
However, posters here and other news reports are lumping them together as what has fueled this anti-immigrant protesting. These are seen as cumulative events in the far-right because its (mostly) POC, regardless of immigration status.

This is about the far right scapegoating immigrants and POC.
"Grievances over poor housing conditions and housing shortages, in particular, have been used to scapegoat migrants and to favour a narrative of “mass uncontrolled migration that simply is not factually true”, Holder said.

The CAJ report, he said, found no clear correlation between the areas where violence has flared up in Northern Ireland since 2023 and poverty rates or high immigration rates.

“When you look at the pattern of where attacks are taking place, they’re not in the most deprived areas,” Holder said. “What this points to is that attacks involve particular far-right elements, including some elements of loyalist paramilitary organisations, rather than this being tied to either migration levels or deprivation.”"
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/13/why-have-anti-immigration-riots-broken-out-in-northern-ireland- Yes, from last year but again, multiple articles about this stabbing reference the Sikh stabbing and the attempted sexual assault by Romanian refugees.

The discontent is rationale. No one wants stabbings or rape/assault. But the far right are flaming the fires and turning protests violent just like they did in the US with BBM.

So the answer to the topic question is: Racial and xenophobia by the far right is what the heck is going on in Belfast and its going on here too! See JD Vance about Nowak
"Henry Nowak died the same way a civilisation dies: Abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit.
"His murder is as tragic as it is enraging.

"He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it"



I don't care about JD Vance. He is a disengenuous idiot. This isn't a partisan incident and yet you're falling into that trap because the right is complaining about it. Why is the mainstream left ceding the moral high ground to the far right?

The police handcuffed a dying man and ignored his pleas of "I can't breathe" because his murderer lied about racism. The details are horrific, the police did everything wrong and the murderer and his family are despicable humans. It's ok to say that.


The murderers family are despicable humans? Wow.


Yes. They made the false police report, hid the knife, denied that there was a stabbing, taunted the dying man and continue to defame the victim. They were all in on the coverup and false claims. The mom has already been convicted and the brother might be next. It's a very ugly incident and blinders aren't helpful.

Stabbing?? The victim was nearly beheaded. This was not X or bots.


He was not. Stop making the injuries sound worse than they were. These were non-fatal injuries.


He LOST HIS LEFT EYE. Yeah, that's pretty bad.


Ok? He’s alive. He was assaulted, not murdered.


Bless your heart.

In April they were rioting over high fuel prices. No coverage, no DCUM post. Now it’s anti immigrant and the RWNJs and the bias media are going crazy.
