ARGENTINA: If this is far-right, count me in

... our mad-haired President Milei has been tarred with the inevitable brush. ...
... his crime is to oppose the giant apparatus of the Establishment ... His rhetoric fundamentally threatens the existence of a vast, worldwide elite who are firmly ensconced in their lavish, decadent existences, instead promoting the wellbeing of the little man.
And thus, he must be ‘far-right’. ...
The leftists are defining what is politically acceptable so tightly that pretty much anyone questioning ANY aspect of their policy is eligible for the "far right" label.
Actually, just like gays adopted "queer" and started using it widely, we ought to adopt "far right" and pretty much slap that label on anyone. Would help to diffuse it.
Linguistically, it's interesting how much change there has been over the past 7 years.
Trump brought in the entire "Fake news" expression. These days, its a LOT easier and open to talk about Marxists, Neo-Marxists, Cultural Marxists etc. (7 years ago, 'media' was telling us that 'cultural marxism is a conspiracy theory'.
On that note, the cultural marxists were fully aware for the last 7 decades that language is a key battleground. But to a large extent, they have overplayed their hand. Now, as you note, everyone or anyone who disagrees with their agenda or calls them out is 'far right'.
The media were originally pushing the term "fake news", but Trump turned it around on them.
Is that so? Was not aware of that. Well, he certainly did a masterful job.
Reminds me of this oldie but goodie...
Control the language and control the mind.
