Agreed it's not enough on its own - it's why KS' "far right thugs" last summer felt so lackluster without any more positive argument. But also think "we're not extremists, just ordinary people who've been pushed too far" is a v useful myth that much of the media are far too happy to indulge them in

That myth is literally how the far right got mainstreamed over the past decade

Also the myth that they are the majority. They are not.
