The amazingly expansive use of the term "far right."

If Everyone Can be “Far Right,” Then the Term Has Lost All Meaning


Actually, the term has meaning to those who toss it about. Anyone who opposes us is ‘Far Right’.

“You don’t want to be ‘far right’, do you? Now shut up and do what you’re told.”

The language creeps.

The National Socialist German Workers Party wanted a large, powerful central government, control of the press, the schools, and the courts. Group identity mattered to them, and individual rights did not. By any normal definition, the Nazis were Left-wing. But, since the German Communist party, funded by Stalin in Moscow, was a bit more Left, they branded the Nazi Socialists are "far right".

And for 90 years, people have accepted the idea that the Nazis were "right-wing".

And "Nazi" became an insult. Anyone you don't like is a "Nazi". And now anyone you disagree with -- some obnoxious feminist, a supporter of Israel, an environmental activist who doesn't go far enough -- whomever it may be, can now be shut down as a "far right" lunatic.

Who voted for the Indian born (dot not feather) PM in a 90% white country? Trying to be DEI can get you killed! (He has some nerve lecturing the ‘hooligans*’ telling them that they are the problem).
*message lost with the destruction obviously

The ‘huge destruction’ left shops badly damaged and windows broken. Looting followed.

This has all the hallmarks of another deep state rear action/ false flag operation. It Harkins back to the Jan 6 staged demonstration where state actors working with Antifa were used to discredit the 'right'.

It smells because the right does not burn down their own stuff. We paid for those government vehicles and will have to pay to replace the.

We support small businesses and it makes zero sense to to destroy them when they had nothing to do with anything.

Looting? Give me a freaking break, that's the tell right there, has there been a single instance in human history when the 'right' looted anything, anywhere?

All these actions and tactics follow the script of the international left. Repeated time after time across the globe the left does these things whenever they feel like it.

Jan 6th proved to the deep state they could weaponize their own violence to discredit the right.

That is what we are watching.

The term “racism” is equally expansive. A “racist” used to mean someone who didn’t like members of another race or thought his own race was superior to others. But nowadays, a “racist” is anyone who is punctual, enjoys hiking, camping, Dr. Seuss books and classical music, eats chicken with waffles and drinks milk, practices calisthenics, seeks to control his weight, studies mathematics, keeps a neat and orderly kitchen cupboard, uses the expression “cotton-picking,” and has Mike as a first name.

It’s a matter of perspective. If you’re far left, then somebody who is objectively moderate appears far right.

Watching CBS Morning for Blacks this morning and the story was “Far Right “ elected in Netherlands, then they fretted how 4-5 other countries were following this trend and wonder aloud why? It’s simple, people are disgusted with socialist crime ridden corrupt open border countries.

Someone asked me what was "far-right". I said that it was having a passing acquaintance with reality in one or more areas.

You knew it was headed that way once Lefties started calling Hitler, the most notorious member of the National SOCIALIST Party, a far-right-winger.

Basically, everything The Left doesn’t like gets termed either A Glock, An AR-15, or A Far-Right-Winger.
