Why is excluding the far-right a thing associated specifically with the far-left? Would politically moderate people not also want to exclude eg. Nazis?

- vmception 6y ago> Would politically moderate people not also want to exclude eg. Nazis? They do. But I would say take a look at dating apps in California, for example, and see just how many people are telling Moderates and Independents to stay the hell away from them. Being in the middle is great for lobbying because your ideas are bipartisan and nothing else is getting through Congress, but for real life right now, its extremes only.
- khawkins 6y agoBecause the definition of Nazi is applied so liberally that Winston Churchill himself would receive the label from those who use it in today's discourse.
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoI don’t think the fact that some people call everybody nazis should lead us to decide that actual nazis are now OK.
- khawkins 6y agoI don't trust that your definition of an "actual nazi" isn't significantly colored by your own prejudices. That we could actually agree on who are the extremists in society who are equally damaging.
- albedoa 6y agoThe comment you are replying to does not even attempt to make that judgement. Use your own definition if you'd like.
