And as such have enacted the following:


Probably a prudent move but it just goes to show the sad state of affairs with the American far right.
Qanon ....... again?
Oh well........ get those cameras rolling, and recording. And lock up any intruders for maximum sentences. That's what David Cameron insisted upon after the UK City Riots several years ago.

No quote from Q from the NYT? Why am I not surprised?

Unfortunately there's still those who buy into it, and absolutely.

far right.

For reference, when Arthur Brain here says "far right," he's using this (wrong) political spectrum:

In actuality, the "far right" that he's referring to exists not on the "right," but on the left, as shown by this (correct) political spectrum:

Um, no, I'm referring to the 'far right' as they actually happen to be. That "amended" graph is just flat out ridiculous.

By "far right" Are you referring to fascism, nazi-ism, racism, etc? Because those are leftist ideals, not right wing.

Well of course they aren't, as any accredited academic and historical source would tell you. I'm to the left on the political spectrum and I embrace cultural and ethnic diversity. I'm opposed to the persecution of people because of a difference in skin colour, creed, differing beliefs or that they're homosexual. That sound like Nazism to you?

Heck, at least the neo Nazi nutters and white supremacists don't pretend to be anything other than what they are, far right wingnuts.

I pray they heal their addled brains or just leave my country.
I am skeptical that they will change - they have a deeply-ingrained personal need to believe in such piffle. They will "leave", of course, but only via attrition through death. I think, though, there is reason for optimism in the long run. Look at the broad sweep of human history - bad thinking may flourish for a while but reality wins in the end.

Hopefully you're right. That the last few years will come to be regarded in history as another blight until rationality and common sense prevailed overall.

Aren't what? Right wing? I would agree with that.

They are definitely not right wing ideals, no matter how many times they are called such.

Just because you, someone on the left, do not affiliate with or approve of such things does not make them not left wing.

Just because you, someone on the left, do not affiliate with or approve of such things does not make them right wing or even far right for that matter. You aren't the gold standard of left wing or far left.

However, on the other hand, God is the standard of all that is right, and therefore anything that goes against Him or violates His commands is inherently wrong and left wing.

Heck, at least the neo Nazi nutters and white supremacists don't pretend to be anything other than what they are, far right wingnuts.

Them claiming to be "right" doesn't make them right.

It just makes them wrong.

Oh, for sure they do, as evidenced by many reports on the news and some of the fixation even on here.
Yes...... It was on the news this evening how many Qanon followers actually believe that Former President Trump will be back in office tonight.
No wonder the security forces were preparing for trouble today.

No, not right wing, far right, the extreme. They most certainly are on that side of the spectrum as is recorded in academia and history. You may be uncomfortable with it but that's where such ideals squarely lie.

As much as you might venerate Bob Enyart and his graph, he ain't the 'gold standard' of anything either. It's ridiculous, all ends up. A more myopic, subjectively biased and ignorant example would possibly be hard to find.

The Nazis were far right. The neo Nazis are just the same and at least they're honest about it.
