And what I can tell you these groups aren't far-right. What I've found out about the people in these groups their political views are all over the map. The myth that racism is on the right goes back to another myth that has been long debunked but is still taught in schools and colleges as fact. And that myth is "The southern Strategy" myth Professor Dr Carol Swain has debunked this myth decades ago. When I have done undercover I'd met supporters of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and even Justin Trudeau supporters. But most of the people I'd encountered were apolitical.

'Far Right' has become a catch-all term to stigmatize anyone critical of the Establishment, or critical of trends in society for which people become concerned about.

The matrilineality is not OG Jewishness. It was added in the Middle Ages when some Jews in Italy started taking on Italian wives (backed by DNA studies) and some Rabbis added that in. King David had a non-Jewish maternal grandmother iirc. Biblically the tribal lineage is Patrilineal

Yes, far right, racism, bigotry, other-ism, have all lost its meaning. The people using those words are the people who think words are violent, but yet they use “derogatory’ words. The part I hate about the use of these words is when politicians like the Irish Prime Minister, Canada Prime Minister, and others use it when they know they’re lying.

Just had this conversation with a friend. They politely called my ideas extreme, and then we had a 2-hour conversation in which at the end, we both admitted that nowadays, a conservative, family values politics, is actually dead smack in the middle. You know what's extreme? Gender ideology, on the left, and rabid isolationism on the right. Our political middle is being hollowed out, and now, it merely seems extreme. That imbalance, which would have been hard to fathom just 10 years ago, is the norm and it really says a lot about where we're headed. Marxism has been carefully placed into our national discourse and we're stuck not knowing how to untangle it. In related news, a big thanks to Triggernomotry, for doing their part to help rebalance this mess. Cheers guys!

Nationalism has gotten a bad name due to extremism and dogma. Love and loyalty to one's country isn't a bad thing, in the U.S. we used to say the pledge of allegiance everyday in school. It's a device that helps unite a country around core constitutional values. I've noticed the misuse of the word far right in the U.S. also. People are becoming immune to this name calling on a grand scale. Racist, bigot, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe, etc used to be some of the worst things you could say to an individual.

Hi my current thinking is that Nationalism is a vehicle to rally around a country’s past to stoke loyalty going forward to right historical ‘wrongs’, like Putin rousing the population around the Russian motherland to correct the trauma of the 1990’s. I think what you described is Patriotism that understands and respects the past and its values but builds on that to a better stronger future for its citizens. Nationalism can be dangerously revisionist and play into people’s grievances. IMHO just been thinking about this recently.

I have held the same views all my life. My university attending daughter told me the other day I should take care who I express such views to as they mean I will be seen as far right.

I love the internet. A shining example of the human ego scrambling for meaning and understanding. The never-ending darkness of oblivion awaits us all. Unfortunately most peoples egos cannot cope with the existential terror of the envitable truth and fall into a downward spiral. Those who accept this and carry on living and loving in spite of meaningless are truly free.

Simply, there has been a response to the idiotic far left. Nuf said.

I don’t believe there has been a rise in the far right at all. That is a very convenient label for anyone who doesn’t agree with the Left wing or Liberals. I don’t consider myself a right wing, which is always given a negative slant I notice, yet I believe in free speech, democracy and so on, things that are considered very right wing. What about the left wing? There are many extremists in that group, yet hardly a word is raised at them. I have had a very reliable word from someone working for the security service, monitoring various protest groups, who have been told, forget about the left wing supporters, concentrate on finding the right wing members. So much for democracy!

If you strip away the specifics, aren’t we talking about grown adults calling you names because they don’t like you? When has this happened before… that’s right, the school playground. So really are we talking about immature adults? Do we really want to give credence to such childish behaviour?

You can't step out of your house these days without tripping over a far right.

there's a test called political compass org, i took it and despite what they say about me scored bang in the middle

Common sense is now far right

When asked, I describe myself as anti-authoritarian, and an anarcho-capitalist. And yup, get called far right.

"far right" is typically a misnomer for not establishment left.

"Establishment left" is an oxymoron

@@thewaronu8842 well, these days, it's more synonymous, so I guess it's redundant. The current admin, academia and the popular culture propagate left leaning sentiments and policy. But, left is a pretty broad term, so I guess depends on which part of the spectrum is being referred to.
