Am I considered far right now?

Septemberisaweirdmonth · 13/09/2025 16:12

Years ago I would have described myself as liberal and on the left. Over recent years the things I seem to agree with seem to be considered to be on the right and even far right

Examples:

I see nothing wrong with wanting to retain British culture or the innate culture of any country and see nothing wrong with a country being proud of its flag..as many are-Spain, Usa, Portugal etc etc

Whilst I have no issue with anyone being transgender, I do not believe transgender males should play in female sports, be in female toilets, prisons etc and I don’t believe children should be given drugs to alter their gender.

I think immigration in Europe needs to be controlled.,and quickly

I would be put off a man and likely wouldn’t see him again if he asked to split the bill on a first date. I can pay the bill four times over, but that’s not the point.

I am educated to post degree status and worked full time in my career for many years until I had my dc, I then wanted to and was thankfully able to stay at home. I see nothing wrong with the man going out to work, the mum staying home, taking care of the kids and the house-if that suits everyone and they’re happy doing that. My ideal scenario now would be a nice community, homeschooling and raising kids.

I am not anti abortion completely but my stance leans more towards this angle (I don’t tell anyone this though)

I regularly watched Charlie kirk, whilst I didn’t agree with everything and i’m not hugely religious, I agreed with a lot of his points and found he made his points respectfully. I also regularly watch Piers morgan uncensored

I didn’t agree with the almost forcing of people to have the covid injection

I quite like Trump

I feel embarrassed writing all this down as I feel I can’t really say this in real life

Have I become far right?

Yes

CantThinkOfAnotherUsernane · 13/09/2025 16:18

I think immigration needs to be controlled, that doesn’t make me a racist so I agree on that.
However I’m happy to pay my own way in the world and that includes on dates and I firmly believe abortion is a woman’s decision. I wouldn’t judge anyone for having an abortion so I don’t agree with you on that.
I wasn’t familiar with Charlie Kirk so I can’t comment on him but personally I can’t stand Trump

topcat2014 · 13/09/2025 16:19

Sounds mainstream conservative to me,

TheAlcott · 13/09/2025 16:20

What do you mean when you say 'British culture', exactly?

Which bits of Kirk's rhetoric did you agree with?

coxesorangepippin · 13/09/2025 16:21

No

Dorb · 13/09/2025 16:22

How can you question it - you are far right!

SummerEve · 13/09/2025 16:22

Well, not full on far right but certainly on the right path.

Mercurial123 · 13/09/2025 16:22

Yes definitely right wing and if you also like Douglas Murray, Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson I'd think you've crossed over to the far right.

NotAMessiahJustAVeryNaughtyBoy · 13/09/2025 16:22

What do you like about narcissistic, probable possible sexual predator despot Trump, out of curiosity? I can’t help but think anyone who likes him now, even a little bit, is at least right wing, if not very right wing indeed.

Enigma54 · 13/09/2025 16:22

Do you want validation from MN, that you are now far right? Are you genuinely unsure? What if the general consensus is that you are in the FR team? How would it make you feel?

NotAMessiahJustAVeryNaughtyBoy · 13/09/2025 16:24

I would be put off a man and likely wouldn’t see him again if he asked to split the bill on a first date. I can pay the bill four times over, but that’s not the point.

^Btw what has this got to do with whether someone is far right or not?

GeneralPeter · 13/09/2025 16:24

Sounds mainstream conservative to me (or some strands of liberal), except for the Trump bit. He’s in no way a conservative.

GinAndJuice99 · 13/09/2025 16:26

You sound ultra basic and very susceptible to media influence

No I don’t like them

“ I quite like Trump “

MyLimeGuide · 13/09/2025 16:26

Right, not far right, far would be more extreme and thinking everyone should get in line with your way of thinking (and possibly do/say bad things to make this happen)

GoldMerchant · 13/09/2025 16:27

You've said nothing about how your feel about economics (eg small state, extensive welfare state, state ownership of industries etc) which is interesting in itself. That was the biggest left-right split classically.

I would say you are social conservative and perhaps "classically liberal" insofar as you place a high value on individual freedom of choice. If these have always been your views, I'm not sure you've ever been aligned with the mainstream left.

Dweetfidilove · 13/09/2025 16:27

On the surface you could pass for a conservative.

My questions would be:

  • What about Trump and Kirk do you like and agree with? *What does British culture mean to you?
PrizedPickledPopcorn · 13/09/2025 16:27

Immigration needs to be controlled.
Trump is an abusive male of vast privilege who coincidentally through regressive attitudes provides some protection to women in recognising all the gender ideology stuff.
I think abortion should be considered a serious health issue with a variety of risks for the woman. Ultimately it’s her choice. Personally I never would, other than in truly extreme circumstances. I judge women who see it as just another contraception.
I did not dislike Charlie Kirk for disagreeing with me.
Releasing women from the home has caused resulted in women having unreasonable workloads, which need addressing.

Right and left have lost all meaning. There are corrupt people, racists, homophobes and bullies on right and left.

I no longer assume the liberal to be kinder or more ethical than the conservative. There are dishonest cunts equally distributed across the spectrum.

Icanthinkformyselfthanks · 13/09/2025 16:27

@Septemberisaweirdmonth , if you disagree in any way with the far left, you are of course far right. 🙄
P.S. there is no such thing as far left…

It was just one of the Charlie kirk videos everyone was debating recently-traditional values I suppose…it all sort of seems to tie in by the look of it

What is he? Out of interest. I struggle to ‘get’ US politics.

Ultra basic 👍 😅

This post (and its title) immediately made me think of the Father Ted scene “so I hear you’re a racist now Father”!
I would be interested what it is that you like about Trump.
