Right-wing conspiracy spaces in the US are more directly linked to hate crimes than those in the UK.

In the US, I'm sure that there are a lot more people who are much more directly plugged into QAnon space, Alex Jones space, and then going out and doing a hate crime. Here, it's like there are a lot of... People we would call gammons or whatever. Like, just dudes who are completely red in the face all the time and they read the Daily Mail and whatever else. And it's a lot of, like, mainstream bigotry that actually fuels their hatred. And then we have a parallel conspiracy space of tufts who are doing a lot of the most Alex Jones-y stuff in the UK and yet, like, not contributing directly. To the hate crimes, there's about six or seven guys in between, say, Posey Parker and someone who screams at me in the street or whatever, which is a thing that's happened to me a bunch and increasingly over the last few years.
