So I looked up the video mentioned in the article. This just sounds like someone who is insane and/or trying to garner attention from religious hysteria. Even after publication, the video mentioned in the article has 397 views and only 7 likes, so it doesn’t seem like anyone really knows who these people are.
It can also be helpful to realize, doomer headlines like this one about nothing-assholes are common on opposite political spectrums too. There are probably some liberally minded feminists who have given horrific takes like “We should just round up every white man born in a red state, and dump them all in a landfill, with no trials.” And as stupid and evil as that is, some news site has probably quoted them to make manosphere centers feel even angrier towards “evil feminists”.
Yep. This is just one of those aspects of the internet era. I’m certain people publicly said far worse than this in every nation, and they were shunned and their words never made it into a printed article. I know far worse claims that have been published on YouTube and also never got an article about them.
Now there is the aspect that this is an organization registered as a charity. I can’t speak for the UK, but in the USA, it’s very easy to form a registered charity organization if you are willing to bind yourself to the limitations of such. It’s not something that a government department head signs off on, or a parliamentary body votes on. It’s usually an accounting operation and a rubber stamp.
