there is such a thing as extremism. i think they are replacing that with the word far.
not all of us agree on the same thing. as most of us believe in gun rights, others that believe in gun rights might also believe in white supremacy, etc.
some people believe in abortion up to 6 weeks, others believe a baby can be aborted at birth. extremism.
far is a relative word, an opinion dependent on the views of the individual. A child will not want to walk to the mall, because it is far, except when there is a fair ...
This is how flexible far is. It means nothing, other than saying: I don't like it.
Consider this:
How far is it?
What is the distance between here and the destination?
In the latter situation you decide what far means. Either, you work with facts, or your work with opinions. In the latter case, you can never check it, and the potential for fraud is clear and present.
I agree that it's a Line, something like a wedge, from All Govt on the Left to No Government, or Anarchy on the extreme Far Right....
I made this scale, it should be sideways, but Top Down, it goes All Govt, to No Govt, mainly to show how things have moved in the wrong direction, and now the Influencers of Chaos are trying to push both Anarchy and Full on Totalitarianism at the same time....
All of this is because as the DemonRats moved further LEFT, the RepubliCunts followed also to the LEFT....
SCALE::
Maximum Government....
Communist, Marxist, Maoist, Stalinist....
Socialist...
DemonRats....
Socialist Lite....
Libertarians....
Republicunts....
Something something, but Libertarians THINK this is them....
how about this as an interesting flex, why is it so bad to be on the right, alt-right or far-right? but leftists are proud to be "left leaning"? why are they not proud to be moderate? instead they allude to being "centrist".
I wish we would destroy these silly terms.
In reality.
A person either wants to consolidate and centralize power or break power up and decentralize power.
The government doesn’t want people to think of it this way!
So simply put. Thanks!
No problem brother!
It is hilarious that they try to push tyrannical governmental styles on the right when the right is against big governments.
I still think those terms are too Complicated and it’s the reasons why the Uniparty has taken over.
Just because Mitch M is labeled a conservative. He is still for centralizing power to the federal government.
Which is why it’s easy for them to lie to people who are conservatives.
Government is about power and control. The question really becomes.
Who should have that power?
For Example.
During COVID what did Trump do?
Trump decentralized power and gave it to the governors.
If George Bush was in power. I don’t think he would have done the same:
I think Bush would have taken more power at the federal level.
So if you label yourself as a conservative. That doesn’t mean anything.
The question becomes. How does that same conservative feel about power.
Will they centralize power at the federal level or decentralize power towards the states and local governments.
There are tons of conservatives out there that still would become federal dictators if they had the opportunity.
I reckon "far" signifies that a group is outside of the Overton Window which the describer is trying to establish.
Far left is anyone who is a traitor/opposes Trump (same thing).
Far right a criticism used by the far left of anyone who isn't a traitor.
It's prety much that simple.
Eric Swalwell: "The word is 'fart.' Pronounce it correctly."
You are right! Someone downvoted a "Swalwell fart" comment. Swalwell, is that you?

The "far" stuff started by the media as an attack vector on normal people. The want you to associate "far" with extremism.
So where does "Alt-right" fit in?
The further right you go, the more freedom you have. The further right you go, the more moral you are.
Fascism and communism are competing left ideologies
It should just say right so far…
When I read "far right" or "far left", I read it as "radical right" and "radical left".
You are considered “far-right” if you show a drop of common sense on top of these bat-shit crazy communist bullshit they are pushing these days.
NAZI party is called “far Right”, which is utterly false
Far Left believes in Government control and oversight, Censorship and harsh punishment for anyone who disagrees with any political belief
Far right would be a complete dismantling of all govt agencies and institutions. It would be anarchy
It’s a line, not a circle
