You have a gift of nailing the issue with a graphic, Travis. I had this very thought last night watching the Polizei water canon the ‘right wing extremist’ protestors on BBC. That was the characterization BBC gave to German people attempting to take their country back. No mention to the fact that the Polizei were nowhere to be found in Cologne on NYE.
In the modern era in Europe, “right-wing” is a generic insult.
