  • BAB IV Kesimpulan 4.1 Kesimpulan Berdasarkan Hasil Analisis Secara
    BAB IV Kesimpulan 4.1 Kesimpulan Berdasarkan hasil analisis secara mendalam terhadap tindakan Donald Trump yang merespon aksi anti-Muslim melalui Twitter yang dilakukan oleh Jayda Fransen yang merupakan seorang wakil pemimpin partai sayap kanan Britain First, secara tidak langsung hal tersebut berdampak terhadap peningkatan Islamophobia di AS, di mana peningkatan Islamophobia tersebut termasuk ke dalam peningkatan pada klaster pertama, klaster kedua, klaster ketiga, klaster keempat, dan klaster kelima. Peningkatan dalam Islamophobia tersebut diukur dengan melihat dari jenis klaster yang dicetuskan oleh S. Sayyid: Klaster pertama, di mana ada manifestasi Islamophobia melalui serangan terhadap orang-orang Muslim yang mencakup melakukan pelecehan, mendorong, meneriaki, dan menarik jilbab dari wanita Muslim; Klaster kedua, terjadi serangan terhadap properti yang dianggap terkait dengan Muslim: masjid, kuburan, tempat bisnis; Klaster ketiga, ada Islamophobia yang diwakili oleh tindakan intimidasi seperti kampanye atau iklan yang memperingati akan bahayanya Islam; Klaster keempat, perilaku pelecehan, penindasan, lelucon yang melewati batas, dan penilaian kinerja di mana mereka yang dianggap Muslim dikenakan perlakuan atau komentar yang merugikan. Klaster kelima, bentuk Islamophobia ini dapat diartikulasikan di situs-situs kebencian internet, surat kabar, majalah, atau media lainnya. 79 Hal ini bisa terjadi karena Trump, menurut teori psikoanalisis, memiliki konflik internal di mana ia tidak bisa menyeimbangkan antara id, ego, dan superego-nya sehingga tindakan yang dilakukannya berdasarkan hanya dari keinginannya saja. Ia tidak mempertimbangkan konsekuensi baik yang positif atau pun negatif yang dapat terjadi. Oleh karena itu ia memiliki kepribadian yang tidak sehat, dan tergolong ekstrem. Selain itu, sebagai presiden, sudah seharusnya Trump dapat menempatkan diri sebagai tokoh yang baik bagi masyarakat, sebagai tokoh panutan, dan tidak memanipulasi masyarakatnya.

  • Violent Protest and Heterogeneous Diffusion
    BRITAIN FIRST AND THE UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY: SOCIAL MEDIA AND MOVEMENT-PARTY DYNAMICS1 Thomas Davidson and Mabel Berezin2 FORTHCOMING IN DECEMBER 2018 ISSUE OF MOBILIZATION. PLEASE CITE THE PUBLISHED VERSION. Social movement scholars have recently turned their attention to the interactions between political parties and social movements, but little is known about how social media have impacted these relationships, despite widespread adoption of these technologies. We present a case study of the relationship between Britain First, a far-right anti-Muslim social movement, and the U.K. Independence Party, the Eurosceptic political party that spearheaded the Brexit campaign. The movement appeared marginal in the press but it dominated social media, using this presence to support to the party. We examine the dynamics of the relationship between these groups from 2013 until 2017, drawing upon data from social media, newspapers, and other online sources, and focusing on interactions between elites and rank-and-file supporters. Our findings illustrate how far-right groups have used new technologies to generate an unprecedented amount of popular support and to attempt to influence the political mainstream. A number of western democracies have recently experienced a resurgence of right-wing political activity in both the parliamentary and extra-parliamentary sphere (Akkerman, de Lange, and Rooduijn 2016; Mudde 2016; Muis and Immerzeel 2017). In Germany, the unprecedented electoral performance of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party

To find out more about this project, and to see other outputs from the team, visit: www.crestresearch.ac.uk/projects/soft-facts-digital-behavioural-influencing This project reflects a growing awareness and concern amongst policymakers and practitioners about how the community impacts of terrorism and other major crime events are frequently amplified as a result of rumours, deliberately generated ‘false news’ and conspiracy theories. There is interest also in how such effects can be countered through deploying artfully constructed counter-narratives.

    14 VIGILANTISM IN THE UNITED KINGDOM Britain First and ‘Operation Fightback’ Elizabeth Ralph-Morrow Introduction Britain First was a fringe political party best known for its ‘mosque invasions’, ‘Christian patrols’ and – more recently – being at the centre of a 2017 international dispute between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Theresa May. This chapter charts the brief history to date of Britain First, beginning with its post- British National Party origins and ending with the imprisonment of its leaders and suspension of their social media accounts. Drawing on original qualitative data and online materials, this chapter provides an overview of Britain First’s ideology, vigilante activities, and supporter base. Britain First is not the first UK far-right organization to fuse direct action with formal politics. However, its vigilante activities, religious allusions and savvy social media use set it apart from the parties and movements that came before it. In filming and uploading videos of its uniform-clad supporters storming mosques, distributing British army bibles and departing in a camouflaged Jeep, Britain First has managed to simultaneously threaten violence to British Muslims – and reach an audience of millions. However, it remains to be seen whether the organization can sustain its vigilantism and vast social media reach in the face of increasing censure from technology companies and the UK’s legal system. The ideology, origins and supporters of Britain First Britain First was founded in 2011 by James Dowson, a former member of the far- right British National Party (BNP) who split from the party in 2010 following allegations that he had made unwanted sexual advances towards a female colleague (Allen, 2014).

  • Overview of the Far Right
    Overview of the Far-Right Dr Benjamin Lee Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST) Lancaster University, UK This work was funded by the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST). CREST is commissioned by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC Award: ES/N009614/1) with funding from the UK Intelligence Community. 1 Introduction This paper considers the ‘far-right’, an overarching term that includes a range of ideologies encompassing both the radical right (democratic) and extreme right (anti- democratic) (Ravndal & Bjørgo 2018). The defining characteristic of the far-right for this paper is: A narrative of racial and/or cultural threat to a ‘native’ group arising from perceived alien groups within a society. This is considered a working definition intended to bound this paper only, this should not be treated as comprehensive.1 This paper focuses on the far-right in the United Kingdom. However, far-right activism is transnational, and so it has not been possible to limit this research exclusively to the UK, nor can the UK far-right be considered in isolation from the wider far-right (Zúquete 2015). The far-right is not composed only of discrete and easily identifiable groups. While various organisations are components of the far-right, including gangs, protest movements, pressure groups, and political parties, the far-right as a whole is amorphous. Its messiness is inherent, stemming from a diverse range of ideologies and narratives enacted over a wide range of geographic contexts by multiple actors. Adding to this, digital technology has allowed an already complex patchwork of groups, influencers and activists to diffuse further through multiple and sometimes overlapping presences on an array of digital platforms.

  • Anti-Semitic and Islamophobic Discourse of the British Far-Right on Facebook
    Anti-Semitic and Islamophobic Discourse of the British Far-right on Facebook Doctoral Thesis By Shani Burke 1 Abstract This thesis uses critical discursive psychology to analyse anti-Semitic and Islamophobic discourse on the Facebook pages of two far-right organisations: Britain First and the English Defence League. Using the Charlie Hebdo attack as a time frame, I examine how the far-right manage their identity and maintain rationality online, as well as how users on Facebook respond to the far-right. This thesis demonstrates how Britain First and the English Defence League present themselves as ‘reasonable’ in their anti-Semitic and anti- Islamic stance following the Charlie Hebdo shooting. Ultimately, I bring together the study of fascist discourse and political discourse on social media using critical discursive psychology, in a novel synthesis. The Charlie Hebdo shooting and the shooting at the kosher supermarket in Paris in January 2015 (as well as other attacks by members of the Islamic State) have led to Muslims being seen as a threat to Britain, and thus Muslims have been exposed to Islamophobic attacks and racial abuse. The current climate is a challenging situation for the far-right, as they are presented with the dilemma of appearing as rational and even mainstream, whilst nevertheless adopting an anti-Islamic stance. The analysis focuses on how Britain First and the English Defence League used the shooting at the Kosher supermarket to align with Jews in order to construct them as under threat from Islam, and promote its anti-Islamic stance. I also analyse visual communication used by Britain First to provide ‘evidence’ that Britain First supported Jewish communities.

Arguments as we developed the Prevent strand of the counter-terrorism strategy were heartfelt across government. While some of us felt that the Islamist extremist narrative created a space for the development of violent action and radicalisation, others argued that tackling nonviolent extremism represented an encroachment on the principle of free speech. These arguments have continued in recent years and are exacerbated by the sheer difficulty of defining extremism at all. This is advanced-level policy making. But these are far from academic policy arguments to be left in the corridors of think tanks. As we know only too well in the Jo Cox Foundation, what starts as hate- fuelled rhetoric can end in the terrorist murder of a serving MP, wife and mother.
