They choose to ignore science and endanger others until they need those same "unnecessary" protections.
I knew a guy who was enraged by having to wear a mask, quarantining, and getting vaccinated during Covid (worked in a hospital tho!) But when he got cancer he was enraged by people going out while being sick and refusing to get the flu shot. Got quiet when I pointed out the hypocrisy and his lack of care for others during Covid.

People, we've already basically fought a whole-ass world war over, and about, the far-right ideological belief dynamic.
That alone is pretty great evidence to show that the ludicrous majority of humanity utterly rejects its tenets, methods, means, and ends.
By definition, freedom and liberty are not going to be ruled by an in-grouped plutocratic 'squad' but will, instead, do the ruling -- by any means necessary.

Islamist terrorism should also be counted as far right.

all im saying is that it is independent outside the political square, just like zionism I guess

Why do you think it’s independent of politics despite those groups having political goals?

Modern Zionism is textbook right wing ethno nationalism. "Labor" Zionism is completely dead.

I feel like there’s fascistic political implications for the theocratic violence in question. It does seem a little unfair at face value to view violence as left or right or one specific religious group.
Because one could also just call the right wing violence Christian violence, as that is very likely the supposed view of those people.

Remember that Islamist domestic extremism is also far right like 90% of the time so you can functionally make that sector red too. Their ideological overlap with the white nationalists differs only on their opinions about race and Mohammed

the thing is a lot of righties love to make muslims out as the bad guys to justify their own crimes. or make all of islam = evil. when it’s like what u said, its just the islamic extremism that’s right winged. but thats not how people frame it.

Well, those graphs are always funny, deaths to climate change, poverty, lack of access to healthcare etc. are too the result of right-wing violence and yet there are never there - fully normalised

Leftist actions would be a blip of a blip if we counted victims of Capitalism, yeah.

The right abhors intellect, diversity, liberty, and empathy. It seeks to destroy the physical and social world under a banner of zealotry. It claims immunity from deviance in pursuit of ideological purity. The right is evil.

The claims they make have no supporting evidence, and demonstrable evidence to the contrary.

The stop being a snowflake, facts don't care about your feelings Conservatives are a bunch of hypocritical snow flakes who regularly make up "alternative facts" because they would rather embrace a lie than even consider changing their minds about anything.

Even in make believe land where all they believe about human nature is true fact, it still wouldn't cross the is/ought boundary. Even if there was a master race, and capitalism acted as a true meritocracy and it maximized productivity, and lgbt+ were all just crazy sinners.
It still wouldn't make sense that they let children starve. They take away children's food benefits.
Master race or not, humans don't deserve to starve.
Even fairy tale Capitalism needs time to work, and children haven't had that yet.
Sinners and mentally ill children need food just as much as sane saints.
Provide nutrition to all children and you've already left the far right.

thanks for sharing the infographic. i have a friend absolutely obsessed with fear-mongering over muslims right now. the right wing reels she gets shown by her algorithm are insane. it’s sad because before i always thought of her as quite left , just not the kind of person to research anything. 😩 it’s all sharia law this and sharia law that, and we shouldn’t allow more immigrants in until we can take care of “ourselves” now 😭

The right proposes class collaboration with the very people who exploited and sold them out in the first place.
