    Douglas Murray is a legit fascist. A ‘national conservative’ who pushes great replacement theory, has direct connections to most of the European far right, has said that “all immigration from Muslim countries must end”, and made a defence of European right wing ‘nationalism’ saying it’s not invalidated by Germany just “mucking up” in the early 20th century - that little oopsie being the Nazis and the Holocaust.
