Am I considered far right now?

[Septemberisaweirdmonth]

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?

Don't agree with abortion it's simple don't have one.

I think most people who are referred to as "far rght" are mislabelled. "Thick as mince" is more appropriate.

Why, most people do? It's easy when your young to spend other peoples money.

Good, they should feel scared to say these things. Pro life and anti trans rights movements are in no way conducive to a decent society, and anyone who thinks otherwise are honestly moronic

’Return arrangements’ were incredibly low. We took more than we returned and it’s not easy to do, a few hundred a year.

I expect you’ve often said it.

Yes. You're becoming more selfish and careful less about others in society.

Yes they do which is why I said it should be lower

But the vast vast majority of perceived immigration pressures and costs are due to legal immigration. If we accepted the migration then we should invest to support it

Farage and co like to whip up hysteria to the contrary
I have no problem with reasonable moves to try to reduce boat crossings. But if they were nil they wouldn't magically improve everything
Proper investment is also needed and a genuine plan for immigration, including addressing how we would bridge the gap of reduced immigration ,( eg staffing in care sector), impact on universities, etc

Not hate filled vitriol

*care less

Interesting take! You need to stop being so narrow minded, its just politics!

The deterant was there though. Now gone

I agree about immigration & gender identity. Re green it's v hard but otoh if nothing is done and the climate worsens significantly, poorer people would probs suffer the most.

If you think the right isn't flattening anyone else's viewpoint you might want to think again

I’m gender critical but could never bring myself to support a morally devoid convicted felon and sex offender, a friend of Epstein’s who has systematically dismantled women’s reproductive rights and torn apart families and children. I could go on. His co-opting of the issue relating to women’s spaces and sports is a craven, attention grabbing tactic that has zero to do with concern for women’s spaces and bodies. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

A large part of the reason we’re discussing him here is due to Charlie Kirk, an assassination that happened on the same day as yet another fatal school shooting and likely other gun related deaths in the US that didn’t even make the news. Trump is the figurehead of the party that refuses to put increased gun controls in place although guns are now the leading cause of death in children in the US. The leader of the party that in fact glorifies the right to bear arms and then weaponises (ha) the death by shooting of an outspoken gun advocate against the left.

I’d say you couldn’t make it up but based on recent history, you could. The fact British people are falling for it is embarrassing.

Oh please .

Typical leftist garbage

Pretty much totally agree!
The extremes are really maddening me

Possibly far right. Deffo an attention seeker.

People from other cultures peacefully working and living their lives here doesn’t affect you having and celebrating your culture. Seeing culture as something exclusive to exclude people from, beat them with, or persecute them for accessing makes you far right and xenophobic yes.

Britan has been a place of tolerance for a long time so your identity (anti tolerance of other cultures) is not the same British identity as mine even though we are both British.

And stop listening to American BS if you believe in having your own culture. The only thing people like Musk care about is the green dollar and being idolised.

How pathetic.do you think you'd get the left asking if the were thought of as far left. Very convenient thread.

Apparently it doesn't matter what you vote and we are headed for a one world government where you will own nothing and you will be happy?????

Problem , Reaction , Solution?????

Maybe reading further into what is really going on could help us, so we are aware of what is REALLY coming. Hmmmm

Agree on some of these posts

It wasn’t a deterrent, not here not where it’s still used by other EU countries. You’re forgetting high migration via lorry pre Brexit.

On the contrary, f you sit down with paper and pen then write down all the values that the Nazis were supportive of you'll fail to find any 'free market, capitalism, social hierarchy, individual freedoms, and and and...' values...

The fact that academia has railed against espousing Nazis as far left for 70+ years is truly astonishing...even more so that people have assumed what they've been fed to be correct.

Take a quick look:

Removal of social structure - no hierarchy of citizens (not to be confused with Marxism) - Those in charge were not seen as 'elevated', they were simply there to hold order...see Joseph Stalin for further examples...
Destruction of those who appeared bourgeois (Jews) and removal of their wealth by framing them as the socialists enemy.
Belief that the state was correct in all matters and had its citizens interests at heart (we know this is a far left propaganda machine used for hundreds of years)
Internment or assassination of anyone who disagreed with the state and its control (straight out of the Lenin / Stalin playbook).
Spying on its own citizens and 'disappearing' those who were deemed to be problematic for the state.
Removal of free press and incorporation of national press / propaganda.
State control of industry and finance

Then write your list of 'right wing / conservative' attributes:

Minimal government / minimal government interference
Capitalism and free markets
Freedom of association
Freedom of the press
Right to free enterprise and private ownership

Hitler did exactly the same as Stalin...its just Stalin / Lenin dd it to their own people quietly behind closed borders....Hitler went next door and did it.

How did Stalin get to kill more people than Hitler but Hitler is the one considered Right Wing?

As I've mentioned elsewhere, academia since ~1950 has made an effort to distance itself from the suppressive regimes of left wing politics by reframing those perpetrators as right wing.

Exactly.
The problems we face in schools, hospitals, housing etc are because the Conservatives / Lib Dems brought in austerity ie cutting Council budgets, cutting public and private salaries and wages and benefits ( 2 child policy) in real terms year on year until many people cannot afford to live. Hundreds of children would be taken out of poverty by abolishing this policy alone.

Ditto selling off our nationalised industries eg Water, Railways, Electricity, Gas etc so that the profits went into ( often foreign) private pockets to be hoarded off shore to avoid tax instead of being invested in improvements for the benefit of us all.

Ditto enabling poor working conditions eg fire and rehire, zero hour contracts, creating a climate of fear in the working population who therefore spend less hitting the profitability of industry.

People who are frightened, can't pay their bills often decide to postpone having children witness our dangerously low birthrate which is building up huge problems in the longer and shorter term.

We desperately need immigration for this reason. We don't have 'illegal immigration' because there is no way people ( since we left the EU) can apply for asylum until they arrive here. I believe approximately 75% of people applying for asylum are accepted. We need to speed up the system, allow people to work while they are waiting as many other countries do (heavens we have a shortage of builders, nurses, teachers etc. It doesn't make sense to keep people hanging about for years on end when we need their work.)

It is very dangerous to eg cross civil war areas in Africa, the Middle East, etc. This why it makes sense to send your fit youngish men on ahead if possible rather than subject women and children to violence, hardship of various kinds, hunger, threat of rape etc. Refugees are by definition ambitious, desperate to work hard etc. They are not our problem but possibly our salvation.

The 50 richest billionaire families in the UK own roughly the same wealth as the poorest 50% of the population. The aristocracy own a third of our land plus probably another 17% undeclared. 18% is owned by Business tycoons, more by Royal Estates. 0.6% of the UK's populations owns about 70% of the land.

We need a wealth tax of 2% on our richest ie the billionaires (who won't leave because they like it here and they would barely notice it anyway.) We don't need the freezing of tax bands, a stealth tax penalising the poorest.

Blaming immigration for our problems is just a ploy to divert our attention away from the real causes.
