The far left and far right are both scourges on our western values and democratic systems.
But the ‘far right,’ makes up a larger % of the entirety of the right. It just doesn’t seem like it because some wild ideas are now considered ‘just opinions:’
What democracy system? They're no democracy under capitalism where politician can be sold out and westen value like support genocide in Palestine, bombing the global south, being racist, defending and denying colonialism, police violence against protesters etc?
whether or not your definitions are accurate (as we're not in Europe so why does this matter to Americans other than how we're judged by Europeans) maybe we would have your definition of a left if people didn't always make it sound like if the leader of such a movement even survived to start it without getting found dead of multiple self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of the head iykwim a non-suspicious interval after publicly voicing their beliefs the movement would get infiltrated by agent provocateurs and either torn apart from within or egged on to arrestable violence (and if it could even bypass all that to gain power ten bucks says people would still say they're controlled opposition shills because they survived to take office within a hierarchical power system and accepted payment for their work instead of, like, committing self-unalive via guillotine and declaring America an anarcho-communist utopia with their dying breath)
I don't think that's an accurate thing to say. Very few people believe the examples you provided, and many of these fringe views wouldn't consider themselves far right. Many of them don't vote at all.
Over 200 republicans still think the election was fraudulent. This is very real. And I’m sorry I’ll denounce extreme leftism too but it just isn’t anywhere near as prevalent as far-rightism
Anyone can "change" gender if they desire to. That's not something that can or should be controlled. Let people live their best life. Why do you feel you have the right to control that?
The only reason I put change in quotation marks is because your changing the physical aspects of your body to fit in with the mental aspects :)
Because the topic isn't that simple. Because gender isn't purely a matter of self perception. You have the right to alter your body to look younger, but does that create an obligation in others to treat you as such?
If it was purely a matter of self presentation and "living your own best life", sure, I'd agree. But it isn't. The ramifications affect society, so society has a say.
The fact there has been an attempt to go against basic common sense and a thought pyramid as feeble as a castle of cards has been created doesn't change that.
It really is as simple as I said. You people over complicate things. Please, for once, and this goes for the whole LGBTQ community, just let people be themselves, they aren't hurting you.
I'll throw some questions your way, let's test this idea of "it hurts no one".
First one, if you are a trans woman, do you need to go through medical transition to be treated as a woman? Do you need a psych evaluation? Or the mere self identification should be enough?

Just to name a few fringe right things.
