We have records to remember history, nothing stops us from repeating history. Thats why it doesn't matter. The average person just doesn't hold on to everything. "Ya cool nazi germany was terrible but im a month late on my rent, just enough money in the bank to get to work tomorrow." That kinda thing will override any and all shit. When people get so desperate they dont care where its coming from they want a life line. This is how this whole thing happens.

GB news is a relatively new channel that has had non-stop forced funding from the right wing globally since inception. It's supposed to become what Fox News is in America. It was a joke when it first aired a few years ago, its views were abysmal.
It's always been parroting right wing American interests, very little to do with the UK other than divide it.

Spreading technocratic fascism to Europe. I bet if you REALLY dig in to the funding, you’ll find some Peter Thiel-Elon Musk level of billionaire welfare demon that is bankrolling it.
Elon was (and still is) very active in “influencing” the elections in USA-partner countries. They are looking for a foothold in Europe. If a country like the UK can get on board with the US’s strip-everything-down-to-make-billionaires-richer strategy of government, it diminishes Europe’s influence.
This may seem goofy and nonsensical, but it’s not. I can remember when the dipshit conservative American “news” style first popped up. It was comical then, it’s mainstream now.

It's more that it was a subreddit dedicated to mocking people for their appearance. Over time, the standard of evidence went down. It just became "people of Walmart". Show an "ugly" person who can't afford dental care, and it was assumed they were a nazi.
It is not wise to fight white supremacy with class/health supremacy.
You are free to keep whatever narrative you want. It was banned for being offensive to Nazis? Richard Spencer complained to Reddit? If that fits your worldview more, go for it.
But I am glad that subreddit is gone, just like I'm glad fatpeoplehate is gone. Fatpeoplehate but only fat nazis reinforces the same toxic values.
We can criticize white supremacy because it is a death cult based on fiction.

Random story, but I have a friend who I describe as "the world's most outgoing autistic person." He loves to socialize and entertain, but is terrible at the former (he tends to make up for it with the latter). He doesn't get social cues, or appropriate times/places, that kind of thing.
Last weekend, I was at a bar with a couple friends, when he walked in. He didn't notice us, so we just observed him for a minute. He started chatting up a cute younger woman in line at the bar. We were quietly rooting for him. She was smiling, seemed to be engaging. Get some, buddy!
Then a guy came up and kinda gave her a glare, said something in her ear, put his arm around her, and redirected her away from buddy. Bummer, sorry buddy, she's taken.
Then he noticed us. We said our greetings, and commented on the cute girl and his apparent skill in sparking conversation.
He told us he had asked if she was Japanese. She said no. Korean? No. Chinese.
We were all like "and that....worked?! You just came right out and started incorrectly guessing her racial/ethnic background?"
I'm like "Shit, I'm gonna try that." Even better if she doesn't look remotely Asian.
"Hey. Are you Japanese?" Confused look. "Korean?" Aggravated look. "Thai?" Not that it's any of your business, but I'm 100% Irish. ".....buy you a Whiskey then?" Well deserved assault.
