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?

You’re not far right, OP. The but the far left will tell you that you are. Which is always a good way of identifying far left people so you can stay away from them and keep yourself safe.

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.

All of this 👏

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)

The left does that now, don’t they?

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

Republican (similar to old school tory)

Ultra basic 👍 😅

Sounds like a brand of cheap socks, doesn’t it. PP really thought they did something there.

MyLimeGuide · 13/09/2025 16:31

Yes they do, a lot and its rife on mumsnet!

CasualDayHasGoneTooFar · 13/09/2025 16:31

So what is it you like about the vile rapist and paedo trump?

LaurieFairyCake · 13/09/2025 16:31

Liking Trump makes you insane.

Have you considered seeing a doctor ?

Right, but the PP said not conservative, which an old school Tory obviously would be. That’s my question really. I assumed there was something more to it that I was missing.

Agree with a lot of this

You’re definitely Right… you’re presumably not a fascist so you’re not Far Right. But yes you’re Right-conservative. Even a little further right than centrist Right.

I mean isn’t that obvious? You’re generally anti-abortion, anti-trans in several ways, anti-immigration, pro-conservative values like staying home and men paying, somewhat religious, anti-vaccine, pro-Trump…

Youre the definition of the conservative Right. How is any of that leftist?

GrimDamnFanjo · 13/09/2025 16:32

Yes and to be honest you sound confused on a few points.

Pinepeak2434 · 13/09/2025 16:32

My father-in-law came here legally in the 1960s, worked his entire adult life, and raised a family - without him, my husband and children wouldn’t exist. Yet most of his children voted Reform, and I’m seriously considering it too. I am not far-right, and I will not be shut down and called far right for raising legitimate concerns about illegal immigration.Throwing around the term “far-right” so casually only dilutes its real meaning.

Absolutely, we shall call it the “cunts everywhere” party

millymollymoomoo · 13/09/2025 16:33

No, just common sense views but the left will label you far right. Same as me

mumonthehill · 13/09/2025 16:33

Traditional values can be saying oppression of women in a more cosy turn of phrase.

GeneralPeter · 13/09/2025 16:33

nixon1976 · 13/09/2025 16:28

I would be hugely embarrassed if I liked Trump and agreed with anything Charlie Kirk said

Then you’ve surrendered full control over your beliefs to them.

MyLimeGuide · 13/09/2025 16:34

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…

Yes there is!! Lol

Boomer55 · 13/09/2025 16:34

Not far right, more mainstream right wing.

Peculiah · 13/09/2025 16:34

My biggest issue with what you’ve said is that you don’t seem to feel able to express these views irl.

We need to talk, debate and discuss. It’s good to listen to a wide range of views, but just listening isn’t enough. Some speakers are compelling, but when you try and repeat or summarise what you’ve heard, you have to really think, evaluate and process. And if you are being challenged by someone who hasn’t heard the slick version, it’s even more thought provoking.

It’s ok to have thoughts, doubts, questions, concerns, and it’s human to have prejudices, and knee jerk emotional reactions. We don’t all see the world the same way or have the same experiences, but it’s so, so important that we just talk with each other. But yeah, I know why it feels risky to do so. That’s even more reason to try.

Political/social/ideological views need daylight.
