That's the thing. The political "spectrum" isn't really real. Extremism comes in lots of fun flavors. What the new-age hippie leftist types and the far-right evangelicals have in common, apart from a fairly casual relationship with objective truth and a deep distrust of the state, is that they favor a simplistic, absolutist Lord-of-the-rings-esque good-vs-evil style framing of the world. Fascism and vaguely occult symbolism have a long history of symbiosis. This renders New Age types with their laissez-faire attitude to new memes easy prey for propaganda merchants. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/sep/22/leftwingers-far-right-conspiracy-theories-anti-vaxxers-power https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/sep/22/leftwi... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-55957298 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-55957298 https://www.mironline.ca/beyond-the-qanon-shaman-the-disturbing-relationship-between-new-age-and-far-right-movements/ https://www.mironline.ca/beyond-the-qanon-shaman-the-disturb... https://www.kunskapskonsult.com/eng/_fascism.html https://www.kunskapskonsult.com/eng/_fascism.html https://gen.medium.com/nazi-hippies-when-the-new-age-and-far-right-overlap-d1a6ddcd7be4 https://gen.medium.com/nazi-hippies-when-the-new-age-and-far...
