Funny how it’s the far right in the USA and the FAR LEFT up North which are the most opposed to this. Strange bedfellows indeed.

Ever since I became interested in understanding political perspectives I have been annoyed that “far left” and “far right” are treated as being as far apart as possible on a straight line. I wish the model would be a circle instead of a line. The far right and left would touch each other and the opposite side of the circle would be the “moderates” or “middle of the road” which often means people with no interest or opinion on political issues. Each side of the circle would then trend from “uninterested” to “radical/one issue.”
