What does "far right" mean anyway?


Recommended Posts

I know a couple of people that have done just that, one of my neighbours moves round her back garden with ease, but on the front she limps with a stick, very odd unless she's pretending to be disabled.

 

I expect to receive some abuse from the lefties now, but I won't reciprocate. :)

 

Because you think you know a couple of people who have done it why does that mean every disabled person is putting it on?

 

It's a childish argument.

Oh dear.

 

On the plus side this seems to go against the idea that people get more right wing with age. Farage seems to have moved very slightly away from the Hitler youth.

The childish argument is the one in which you ask questions that have no relevance to anything I have said. If you can't think of anything relevant to say it's best to say nothing.

If you're saying that you don't beleive the majority of disabled people are faking it that's great.

 

If so what was the point of you making the point about your fake disabled neighbour? It proves nothing.

 

Much better would be to discuss levels of fraud in disabled peoples' benefit claims. But you wouldn't want to do that because it would kill your arguments.

 

Quickness to vilify and attack whole categories of people based on the flimsiest of evidence is a classic right wing trait.

They talk about the ill and disabled as if they've made a lifestyle choice.

 

I wasn't trying to prove anything, just pointing out that some do make a life style choice.

So it's not something that has been established, just your own biased opinion. With a slur built in.

 

If almost everyone claiming to represent the left or supporting socialist ideas defines far right to be anything they strongly dislike, what else am I to conclude?

Please, go ahead and define the "far right" in some other terms and explain to me how believing in small government is a moderate version of it.
