Let me introduce you to the French ‘Tommy Robinson’, Thais d’Escufon
Thaïs d’Escufon is a French political activist, YouTuber, and media commentator.
I want to introduce you to her – partly for her own sake, but also, because her views are more or less indistinguishable from those of Tommy Robinson.
As I wrote in an earlier post, the only way by which Tommy R. escaped the immersion in social and political toxicity, was when he was able to speak for himself after Jordan Peterson gave him a platform to allow the possibility of rehabilitation to happen.
Robinson was never pretty nor bourgeois. He was all too easily demonised as an ignorant fascist far-right thug. He was in fact none of those things.
His views and concerns are identical to Thais.
Our state vilified, toxicified and demonised him.
The French state has done the same with Thais.
She comes from a Catholic background and has become one of the best-known young figures on the French nationalist and anti-immigration Right. On social media, she comments on immigration, feminism, demographics, French identity, and cultural issues. Her YouTube channel has grown to more than 260,000 subscribers.
Politically, she is associated with:
- Opposition to mass immigration.
- Criticism of multiculturalism.
- Conservative views on family and gender roles.
A more recent interest in the “tradwife” movement and traditional domestic life.
