Yes, I think my personal Overton window is around 3 years behind. It hasn't caught up with what we're now happy to call 'Far right'.
As far as I can tell, anything remotely right wing is now 'Far right' amongst a growing band of idiotic and insufferable liberal moralisers, so the moniker has effectively lost all meaning.
It's a lost cause us discussing this. I think if you describe how the UK has been governed in the last 10 years as 'far right', you're an idealogue and completely irrational. You're convinced I'm blissfully ignorant with an unintentionally warped political compass, or I'm a crypto right-winger. Oh well.
- LightG 4y agoI agree, discussing this is pointless as we've demonstrated. Ascribing defintions to yourself that you think I have, or might, call you, in anticipation, is where we're at. As someone else said. Our current ruling party (or a section of it, considering the internal war going on) are pushing polices that were not out of place (and actually, in terms of the Rwanda nonsense) beyond where the BNP and National Front were 40 years ago, which I think we can agree were 'the far right'. Again, if you're unwilling to acknowledge this, you've jumped off the logical and historical diving board into a sea of nonsense. My condolences.
