Am I considered far right now?

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?

I was pretty much with you until Charlie Kirk. I never heard of him and I think Trump is a threat to humanity.

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.

Supporting racists makes you Far right. Supporting people who regularly use racial slurs makes you Far Right. Supporting those who don't want the Epstein list released, because they or their friends are on it, is Far Right. Being anti- LGBTQIA+, IS FAR RIGHT.

If you were to honestly hear everyone’s opinions around you there’s a high chance you would find quite a few of them abhorrent yet they are probably good people. For example some people think affairs are ok and some abhorrent, the same with abortion, immigration etc.

Shagging someone you shouldn’t isn’t quite in the same league as sending women to die in backstreet abortions- affairs and abortion rights are like chalk and cheese, not sure why you are linking them

Op, you are on a slippery slope towards becoming a paedo-loving, felon-loving, racist trad wife. Up to you, though.

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

I mean I dunno, I saw one of his debates where he asked the other person not to swear as there were children present, I personally felt like that was a reasonable position to take. I disagree strongly with many of his other arguments though.

anti abortion is far right for the UK

Anti abortion is far right anywhere. Opposing such a fundamental right for women is deeply wrong.

OldMcDonaldHadABigMac · 13/09/2025 21:22

Well no, I think there is a difference between free speech and hate speech. And common decency. For example, if someone said to me that they didn't agree with immigration and stated that they think it's bad for the country etc then fine, free speech. If someone called me a black b*h and told me to get to fuck back where I came from = hate speech.

Saying that you strongly disagree with Charlie Kirks opinions, fine, free speech. Cheering a young man's death is abhorrent and goes against basic common decency. I would argue that if that person worked with vulnerable people , was in health/social care/education then there is a chance that they could be a danger to those who they are caring for or in charge of. Ie a doctor or nurse cheering on someone's death because they have a different political viewpoint; would you trust that perosn to do right by you medically if they discovered that you held different political beliefs from them? I definitely wouldn't. So I support these people being reported to their employers.

Re the throwing a tomato thing - if someone were about to assault me by launching something at me (and in a split second, who knows what they're holding, tomato or otherwise) then if I had the chance to strike first to stop myself from being assaulted then yes, I would. The rest of the stuff I've not read so can't comment on.

Please cite examples of real people (and not just internet bots/Russian trolls/etc) cheering Charlie Kirk’s death.

Wow - this is succinct and so very accurate. Bravo to you 👏.

Far right is dumbo’s word for educated types they disagree with. They’re trying to frighten liberals, basikerly.

It’s also unnervingly misused, but dumbo
failed history and dun’t know.

The ones who threw missiles at the police, the ones who pissed in the streets or the ones who intimidated and abused people of colour on the way there and back?

Strawberriesandlemon · 13/09/2025 22:15

I agree with some of what you’ve said. I too think our traditional British culture is getting very watered down. English traditions are becoming less and less common especially in younger generations.

I have absolutely no issues with transgender people. Live and let live. However I do agree they should be 18 and an adult to make that informed decision, because when they are young you’re still discovering yourself and the world, and easily influenced.

I strongly agree, illegal immigration needs to get under control in England. Most are full grown men on their own. We don’t know who they are/their background etc. and look at the shootings r*pings that have happened in recent years from these men that have crossed the sea, from an already safe country.

we are seen as easy targets. Most other countries have much stricter rules on it, but we just house them and give them money, then complain about housing crisis, tax rises.

I too would be extremely put off by a man not paying the bill. I think the traditional old school gentleman is dying. And women are now expected to work but also do most the childcare/housework too. Which is stressful. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you wanting to stay at home and raise your baby. You carried them. It’s built in your genetics. Look at animals and humans since 1000s of years back. Mammal mothers look after their babies until they are old enough to survive on their own. Absolutely no shame in it. Our birth rate is declining quite rapidly. parents should be supported and not made to feel bad for wanting to raise their babies. And not forced back into work too early.

I didn’t really know Charlie Kirk but feel for his family, as no one should be killed do to an opinion, and trump is a serious ick. Just no!

abortion I think is completely up to the woman, and would never judge anyone for having one. However saying that, I do think 24 weeks is abit far, unless child is disabled or incompatible with life. Most countries are up to 12 weeks with free choice, which I think is fair.

I like traditional British values and cultures. I think women fought hard to get us rights. And our country was heading in a good direction until about 15 years ago. But the far lefters are making so much noise now that people are scared to just want what they grew up knowing.

I honestly think the internet and social media in general has ruined the world. Our high streets, the things are children can and can’t do. I don’t think our streets are safe anymore.

am I right now? I don’t know. Maybe. I didn’t used to be. But both the conservatives and labour are terrible imo. I’m worried about the future of our country and our children’s, grandchildren’s lives. We do need abit of a u turn. So if that makes me right now then I guess that’s where I am.

Would you mind re-writing that? It makes no sense

Ah yes, I saw some reports about extreme violence towards the police and racist abuse towards minorities. Sounds brilliant.

So you think it's acceptable to abuse people of colour, and piss in the street?

I think tone policing others when you are expressing abhorrent views is not all that impressive. It’s a deflection.
Fascists can wear suits, speak in nice voices and have good manners. Does not prevent them being fascists.

Pardon?

You have a degree. Surely you can work this out. You are being a bit grandiose, carrying on as though your swing from left to right is such a shocker when your posts make it clear that your heart was never really in it. I bet most of the people who know you wouldn’t be at all shocked if you told them where you stand.

And you still haven’t revealed which of Kirk’s ideas you agree with. His views on women’s role? Race?

The faux tongue in cheek tone of your posts suggest that you see all this as a bit of a joke. Well, Kirk is dead, other people who would call themselves woke are dead, people with brown skins are afraid of the serious shit to come. So, tell me what’s so funny?
