Abstract
There has been much discussion of the proliferation of racialized narratives both offline and online and its role in the current electoral successes of far-right movements across the globe. We extend this conversation by analyzing narrative practices from two contexts where far-right parties and figures enjoy popular support: Italy and the Philippines. In both cases, we show how narratives that pivot on race constitute stancetaking practices that align with far-right agendas. In the Northern Italian case, racialized stances emerge in storytelling events, through which participants (co)construct extracomunitari, or 'migrants from outside the European Union', as "other" and "a danger" to the Italian nation. In the case of Filipino YouTube users, President Duterte's supporters subvert racialized tropes through anti-imperial narratives in ways that attempt to delegitimize human rights criticisms of the drug war. We show how, in and through narrative practices, speech participants justify exclusionary and eliminationist politics in far-right contexts.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been much discussion about the role of social media platforms in the reproduction of
exclusionary rhetoric leveled against social "others" in far-right contexts across the globe. While scholars have examined the
ideologies underpinning exclusionary discourses, few have analyzed the discursive mechanisms through which such ideologies and
"othered" social types become meaningful to ordinary citizens. In this article, we extend this conversation by analyzing digital
discourses on Facebook and YouTube that pertain to Philippine "drug users" and racialized remarks against migrants in Italy
through a chronotopic lens. We demonstrate that despite the historical, economic, and social differences,
far-right ideologies are ordered through chronotopes of national crisis in both cases. Through these chronotopic
worlds, despicable, "othered" social types such as "extracomunitari" in Italy and drug users in the Philippines,
acquire coherence.
