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?

I don't think you're far right, but you're pretty right.

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

My friend and I have a saying, when someone is appalling: "Cunts gotta cunt." 🤣

DrowningInSyrup · 14/09/2025 02:04

I had an abortion when I was a teen, it absolutely destroyed me. I still think about it to this day.

So you don’t see scapegoating and dehumanising immigrants, calling them all sex offenders and criminals, saying they are invaders and ‘’illegals’’ and that they’re going to take away our culture and replace us, isn’t white supremacy?

You don’t question why Nigel Farage is hell bent on removing your human rights so that nobody else can stop the government doing what they want, when they want. The ECHR was created after WW2 to prevent the autrocities of fascism ever happening again. Immigrants are just a convenient vehicle to allow them to strip everybody of them.

You don’t think painting roundabouts, erecting flags everywhere (especially as this isn’t a usual part of British culture) and wrapping yourself in a flag singing ‘rule Britannia in the streets to intimidate and scare immigrants in response to this ‘’invasion’’ isn’t a show of nationalism?

Your concern is see through. If you cared about the safety of women and girls, you would not align yourselves with friends of Andrew Tate and Donald Trump, and you would be asking questions with a curious mind, wanting to learn. You’d be putting your concerns to your MP. It’s a smoke screen. None of their ilk give a single shit about safety. They care about blaming minorities. End of story. It’s what the far right have always done. It’s scary how no one else can see what’s slowly happening and are virtually frothing at the mouth to willingly remove their own freedoms.

Such a relief to read an intelligent post.

what that poster lists as fascism is its endgame. What we are seeing right now is how it begins. I won’t lie: I am afraid.

kistanbul · 14/09/2025 02:28

No. You sound like a conservative.
i love our country.

People like Nigel Firage and Tommy Bellendson hate it. They go around the world telling people it’s over, that it’s scarey, that it’s been taken over. They are far right. They must be opposed.

LillyPJ · 14/09/2025 02:57

Maybe not far right, but definitely very right wing. Why should men have to pay on the first date? Why do you want to interfere with other women's right to abortion? And nobody was 'forced' to have the Covid jab - thank goodness we were given good information and that most people were sensible enough to follow advice. See what's happening now with false rumours about vaccines and fear for the future.

It's dreadful the way the left go straight to abuse, insults, juvenile emojis, you're right they are not "poison" not remotely - but it's all they've got.

I don't recognise the left wing at all anymore. They're on here cheering and happy that a man was slaughtered in front of his children and keep trying the "yeah, but..." routine as if there could ever be a reasonable excuse to be a terrorist.

As Charlie Kirk said "You Can Tell A Lot About A Person By How They React When Someone Dies."

No, they are not poison, but the person who called them "poison" has a poisonous cancer, it's filled their brains, their hearts and destroyed their ability to think - pure, venomous hate.

It’s dreadful how the right are so hypocritical. On social media if the right wingers don’t agree with you and can’t articulate an argument, they just start insulting the other persons appearance or saying ‘’lefty c*’’ etc. How is it the left go straight to abuse but the right don’t? Christ almighty. It’s like none of you have any self awareness whatsoever 😂😂

‘’Cheering and clapping a man was slaughtered’’ - I haven’t seen that, and I don’t think most of us do that, I certainly didn’t do it, but don’t tell me if similar happened to a left wing politician you wouldn’t be seeing the same cheering, jokes and memes, because you would!

Yes, when Nancy and Pelosi had a home invasion, Trump made a joke about her not having a wall & there were horrible conspiracy theories spread by Musk that the attacker who battered Paul with a hammer was his secret lover.

That’s somehow fine though? And we’re supposed to actively mourn a person who advocated for the removal of people’s rights, and if we’re not bothered he’s dead we’re evil (even if it means indifference, not celebration), even though they would act exactly the same way if it was reversed. How entitled can you be? 😂 They certaintly don’t like having a mirror held up to them. Very fragile indeed.

What a shame I'm not right wing then you ridiculous cultist.

Your projection and unhinged hate is off the scale. I have NEVER cheered when someone was slaughtered in front of his kids for speaking words. Never would.

Oh and nobody is asking you cultists to mourn anyone, just to shut the fuck up when a man is slaughtered in front of kids. Like normal, decent people do.

You have nothing at all to say and have just proven my point. So thanks for that and thanks for bumping my post

Okay MUMSNET what steps are you taking when coordinated botting from foreign servers cluster your servers. When theres a co ordinated swarm like this how do you deal with it?

Which ‘coordinated botting?’

Please be clear and specific.

In response to your OP, you are demonstrating a critical thinking of complex ideas which is a pretty good indicator that you are reasonably politically neutral or politically central.

There are actions that people take or do not take in their own circumstances but do not expect that other people will do the same. This is true for both abortion and tolerance of males in female single sex spaces. For example: I wouldn't have an abortion but but I cannot make that decision for another woman or I have no issue with a male entering a female space but I can't make that decision for other women.

With immigration I think it is essential that the government has controls over its borders. Whether the decision about who is coming into their borders could political i.e. which countries/religions are counted out, and what are the goals that have to be achieved to intergrate into society (language etc.), but these question are eternal and always will be.

Right wing and left wing are essentailly the same thing. The both want to control others to prioritise their feelings based on their experience and understanding of the world. We are currently in a state that the conflict has turned away from conversation and towards violence. In the English Speaking world this has precipitated from the Trump administration who to gain power had to cause division. Division is caused by sowing and watering distrust amongst people and the institutions which they pay to protect and educate.

You're talking about authoritarianism, not left/right. You can be an authoritarian rightist or leftist. It's separate from the left/right continuum.
There's a test called political compass which will show you where you fall both in terms of left/right and authoritarian/libertarian. If you'd be interested in taking it here is the link;

Wow! I said I didn’t cheer. I’ve never said I cheered. Only that I was indifferent… and you’re telling me MY ‘’unhinged hate and projection is off the scale’’ and I’m a ‘’cultist’’ with absolutely no evidence. Fucking LOL. It’s you that’s projecting your quite obvious anger on to me there, big style. I hope you’re feeling better soon.

I've done that test, it's based on properly discussed and accepted left and right politics, not the cult shouting that is currently in vogue, and I come up as left wing and below the authoritarian line.

You are indifferent to seeing a person murdered?

Such a lack of empathy indicates a high degree of psychopathy.
