Sure, you don't have to. But if you don't want to explain why you make the comment you make, you probably just shouldn't make the comment.
> Is it even more possible possible that you don't know what far right has historically referred to, and you think those people are far right just because you disagree with them?
No. Would you now mind explaining how these people are not far right?

Clearly the onus is on the people who are using the term to explain why they think it applies to the people they are using it on. The onus is always on the person who makes the assertion, not on the person who is sceptical.
- appplication 3y agoExcept they’re now making their own assertion to the contrary. There’s a number of comments explaining why far right is an accurate description, and none in support of why it’s not, and a complete dishonest about it all when pressed. Low quality, shit-stirring commentary like that doesn’t belong here.
