I enjoyed it up to the final paragraph, when the author used the “fear of the other”, term. This has become the default slander directed against almost anyone who isn’t politically correct to a suicidal degree. If you point out that the largest number of COVID-19 fatalities in Europe are in the two countries with direct air connections with Wuhan, the UK and Italy, you are likely to be castigated as promoting fear of the other.
Funnily enough, there actually is a live-music venue in Bristol called the Black Swan, which is owned and managed by black people.

Andrew Anglin does not run Stormfront. He runs the Daily Stormer and was in fact quite critical of the lockdown.
Proud Boys aren’t much of anything anymore. The whole court case ruined them.

“Many of them [sheriff’s] are flexing that new political muscle.” Seriously? Sheriffs have been part of the US landscape since they were founded. They work “for the people”.

Another sensationalist, incoherent and poorly researched piece from this particular “journalist” that would be more suited to the likes of its author’s previous outlet, Vice(!). Seems more of a cathartic outlet for Haynes’ own political biases and neuroses than offering anything substantial or informative.
The biggest howler in terms of poor research this time being, as previously pointed out, the fact that clicking on the embedded link re:Stormfront – (a link presumably embedded by Haynes himself) – tells us that that particular outlet is operated by Don Black. Andrew Anglin runs The Daily Stormer…..but, hey, why let facts get in the way once Gavin’s in full self-righteous flow in regard to “far-right” scaremongering? If this article was more balanced and properly researched, it would have included other, (more sober), “far right” figures such as Greg Johnson of Counter-Currents who, in a much publicised debate with Anglin, come out in broad agreement with the “lockdown” strategy implemented by the government in the USA.
Articles like this continue undermine the credibility of Unherd…..and this type of writing in both style, content, accuracy and credibility wouldn’t even be too out of place in a “Hope not Hate” hit-piece!

Except the 2 worst hit European countries on a per capita basis are Belgium (by a long way) and Spain.
“black swan”? You racist, you. Now wash your mouth out.
