If Everyone Can be "Far Right," Then the Term Has Lost All Meaning
CAPX ^ | 11/27/2023 | Joanna Williams

-- 'Far right' now includes feminists, Brexiters, elected representatives and nihilistic mobs -- Elites use playground insults to express disapproval and shut down further discussion -- Being angry about violence against children does not make someone 'far right' Last Thursday, Dublin city centre resembled a war zone. Violent mobs rioted for over three hours in what’s been described as ‘the worst disorder experienced for decades’. Vehicles, including police cars, were set on fire, and three buses and a tram were destroyed. The ‘huge destruction’ left shops badly damaged and windows broken. Looting followed.

The violence is believed to have been triggered by a knife attack that took place in the city earlier in the day. Three children and two adults were injured, four of whom remain in hospital. Among them is a five-year-old girl, said to be in a ‘critical condition’, and a teaching assistant who ‘used her body as a shield’ to protect children from the stabbing. The suspect is reported to be ‘an Irish citizen in his late 40s who has lived in the country for 20 years.’ But beyond this, little is known about the attack. Police and politicians have warned those wanting to find out more about ‘misinformation’. Yet, astonishingly, amid the destruction of the riots and the violence of the knife attack, one fact has been firmly established. Police and politicians alike are, it seems, absolutely certain about the motive of the rioters. They were ‘far right’....

If Everyone Can be “Far Right,” Then the Term Has Lost All Meaning


Actually, the term has meaning to those who toss it about. Anyone who opposes us is ‘Far Right’.

“You don’t want to be ‘far right’, do you? Now shut up and do what you’re told.”

The language creeps.

The National Socialist German Workers Party wanted a large, powerful central government, control of the press, the schools, and the courts. Group identity mattered to them, and individual rights did not. By any normal definition, the Nazis were Left-wing. But, since the German Communist party, funded by Stalin in Moscow, was a bit more Left, they branded the Nazi Socialists are "far right".

And for 90 years, people have accepted the idea that the Nazis were "right-wing".

And "Nazi" became an insult. Anyone you don't like is a "Nazi". And now anyone you disagree with -- some obnoxious feminist, a supporter of Israel, an environmental activist who doesn't go far enough -- whomever it may be, can now be shut down as a "far right" lunatic.

Who voted for the Indian born (dot not feather) PM in a 90% white country? Trying to be DEI can get you killed! (He has some nerve lecturing the ‘hooligans*’ telling them that they are the problem).
*message lost with the destruction obviously

The ‘huge destruction’ left shops badly damaged and windows broken. Looting followed.

This has all the hallmarks of another deep state rear action/ false flag operation. It Harkins back to the Jan 6 staged demonstration where state actors working with Antifa were used to discredit the 'right'.

It smells because the right does not burn down their own stuff. We paid for those government vehicles and will have to pay to replace the.

We support small businesses and it makes zero sense to to destroy them when they had nothing to do with anything.

Looting? Give me a freaking break, that's the tell right there, has there been a single instance in human history when the 'right' looted anything, anywhere?

All these actions and tactics follow the script of the international left. Repeated time after time across the globe the left does these things whenever they feel like it.

Jan 6th proved to the deep state they could weaponize their own violence to discredit the right.

That is what we are watching.

The term “racism” is equally expansive. A “racist” used to mean someone who didn’t like members of another race or thought his own race was superior to others. But nowadays, a “racist” is anyone who is punctual, enjoys hiking, camping, Dr. Seuss books and classical music, eats chicken with waffles and drinks milk, practices calisthenics, seeks to control his weight, studies mathematics, keeps a neat and orderly kitchen cupboard, uses the expression “cotton-picking,” and has Mike as a first name.

You nailed it. Since Leftists established "far right" as a perjorative term, it is easy for them to shut down debate by calling their opponents "far right", which itself, is seen as an euphenism for "Hitler" (even though the Nazi Party was much more of a Leftist outfit).

This is what happens when we allow the other side to control the language.

Yup. It has now reached a high level.

But it's not totally new. In no way do I want to defend the British Union of Fascists headed by Oswald Mosley in the 1930s, but his rallies got a pretty unfair reputation for violence.

The British Fascists were an unsavory bunch who liked Hitler and Mussolini and who hated the Jews. They would stage rallies, like any political group. British Communists would show up and start attacking people. Mosley was knocked unconscious at one point. The Communists would attack people, and the Fascists would fight back.

The British government outlawed rallies by the BUF because they were so violent.

That was the British Leftist government weaponizing their own violence to discredit what they perceived as the right.

It’s a matter of perspective. If you’re far left, then somebody who is objectively moderate appears far right.

***the Nazis were Left-wing. But, since the German Communist party, funded by Stalin in Moscow, was a bit more Left, they branded the Nazi Socialists are “far right”. ***

Why the Commies today call everyone they hate “Fascist”, an Italian political party of Benito Mussolini
who founded and led the National Fascist Party
Nazis and Commies are both Socialists. Two wings of the same buzzard.

“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East.

“In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.

Watching CBS Morning for Blacks this morning and the story was “Far Right “ elected in Netherlands, then they fretted how 4-5 other countries were following this trend and wonder aloud why? It’s simple, people are disgusted with socialist crime ridden corrupt open border countries.

***The term “racism” is equally expansive.****

One of the funniest cases of this was when TCM showed the old Abbot and Costello movie AFRICA SCREAMS. At the end the program narrator said that the writers originally wanted the female gorilla to fall in love with Costello, but the censors said “NO!” So they said the ape was actually a “male”! Some wag at the time then said that “a female ape was bad but a gay ape was OK?”

The host then went into an agonizing display of “How could anyone say such a RACIST thing s that?”

I’m setting there thinking “racist? Nonsense!
