I agree with you on all points. My main objection is against the claim that one cannot be far-right if he does not embrace political violence, despite all his other views.
nailer is saying that Thiel cannot be far-right because he identifies as a libertarian, but it's Thiel's far-right views that would make him far-right, not his identity as a libertarian.
- nailer 9y ago> My main objection is against the claim that one cannot be far-right if he does not embrace political violence I haven't seen anything you post refute that point. Look at the examples given at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics - you'll see the KKK, EDL, Patriots of Ukraine, Blackshirts, etc - the common thread of these groups is their use of violence. > Thiel's far-right views that would make him far-right Thiel's views are fairly common libertarian / conservative views. The far right, is by nature, further to the right of regular right wing views.
