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?

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.

Totally agree! But the left now seems to flatten anyone else’s viewpoint, making people to scared to say what they feel
We can see this with the Charlie kirk tragedy

So you quite like "grab em by the pussy" , "if she wasn't my daughter I'd be dating her" adjudicated rapist Trump and find Charlie "I would be ok with my 10 year old daughter being made to carry a rapist's baby to term" Kirk ok? I would say that makes you right wing and I wonder too how as a woman you can feel comfortable expressing admiration for these men. Do you like Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson too?

StarDolphins · 13/09/2025 16:44

You’re not far right op. You’re a racist bigot🤣 According to the left anyway. And MN.

A lot of what you’ve said makes sense to a lot of people. Which is why Labour won’t get another term.

Navigatinglife100 · 13/09/2025 16:44

I think you are either now right wing or possibly not actually critically evaluating what's being said - being brainwashed by the likes of the DM and failing to try to understand the issues.

I agree with others that say if you agree with TR, NF or have/intend to vote Reform, yes you have moved to the far right.

Not at all-choice and there being nothing wrong in wanting to stay at home and raise children and the man to provide (if this suits all) it feels like there’s something wrong to want this…in a previous life when younger, I had a great career, loved working, travelled everywhere. After I had Dc I felt differently, but often feel embarrassed to admit this, like i’m some kind of sap

But you’re advocating for people who would take the very rights you enjoyed (to work, to travel freely without restriction) away from younger women. You sound like one of those tedious trad wives to be honest. And yes, something of a sap.

KTheGrey · 13/09/2025 16:45

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.

Surely nobody likes Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson, however far they are to the right?

Septemberisaweirdmonth · 13/09/2025 16:45

Bumble2016 · 13/09/2025 16:36

Yea, you're a right-wing conservative who doesn't sound particularly tolerant.

It’s weird as I consider myself a v tolerant person

I would really genuinely love to hear form Reform supporters on this thread, what Reform policies do you agree with ASIDE from their immigration stance?

They can't tell you - it's like the Brexiteers who could never tell you why it would be a good thing to leave the EU and can't point to a single plus side.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 13/09/2025 16:28

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

I'd say a populist authoritarian. He's not conservative (in my book) because: i) by temperament, he doesn't want to conserve things. He's impulsive and radical, and enjoys disrupting established orders, ii) by policy positions, he opposes too many things that conservatives traditionally value: rules-based order, free-market economics, traditional family values, a small state (most types of conservatism), and (for the US) international power projection through alliances and values. He doesn't want the US to be the leader of the free world. He wants the US to win by beating others where it can, and ignoring the rest.

FOJN · 13/09/2025 16:45

I don't believe humans can change sex and sometimes sex matters.
I don't believe children should be given irreversible medical treatment.
We need an honest conversation about sustainable levels of immigration.
I describe myself as pro-choice but don't agree with abortion right up until full term without a medical reason.

I'm told I'm a transphobic, racist, forced birther so by those standards you are a full on fascist. Welcome to the bigots club. 😀

fastingforweightloss · 13/09/2025 16:45

I agree with all your viewpoints Op, and I do consider myself far right.

Nothing wrong with that. I think most people when they get to middle age see things much clearer than they did when they were a do-gooding, be kind touting snow flake 18 year old.

SerafinasGoose · 13/09/2025 16:46

AzureCats · 13/09/2025 16:42

I'll eat my hat if OP comes back and actually addresses the charges against Trump. Are you not bothered he's been charged with fraud, falsingfying documents, inciting violence? Not to mention his association with Epstein and accusations of rape from then minors. The gif is photographs with his own young daughter Ivanka, who he said he would date. Really great role model. 🙄

The amount of British politicians that resign for lesser misdemeanours, and the amount the media tears them to shreds. But Mr Billionaire Trump can seemingly get away with every crime he feels like committing. As a pp said, a British person supporting Trump is madness.

Edited

Finding that Trump's views chime with your own is one thing. And it's a thing that would be making me take a long, hard look in the mirror if it got much beyond the 'stopped clock is right twice a day' maxim, but that's bye the bye.

A British person can't 'support' Trump. This isn't possible.

He has no political jurisdiction in the UK, and we have no vote in the US.

Hellohelga · 13/09/2025 16:46

You sound like a Reform voter which I consider far right. So yes.

I find the bit about homeschooling being your ideal scenario the most scary party of your post.

Seriously? Why? I’m a qualified teacher

What do you mean? I wholeheartedly disagree with both of them

You would be embarassed to agree with Charlie Kirk on anything. If that's how you determine your values or beliefs then you aren't in control of them: he is.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 13/09/2025 16:47

I was brought up by two commited communists. Almost as bad as being brought up by religious parents as it's like a religion. I thought the overthrow of Communism in Eastern Europe would knock it out of them and others but it didn't. It's better to be right wing than subscribe to that particular ideology.

ElatedShark · 13/09/2025 16:48

Depends, does you immigration control include the millions of brits infesting other countries, like Spain, who are trying to get them out? Or just the blacks who by the way some have been in uk for generations and have family who fought in your precious world wars. I am all for everyone staying in their own countries of origin and leaving other countries resources etc along, but I doubt English would like that as they would lose out massively since we no longer produce anything ourselves of worth

MoFadaCromulent · 13/09/2025 16:48

I don't think being tight on a first date is a ln extreme right wing trait

BurntBroccoli · 13/09/2025 16:48

Yes

You are just a normal person. Don’t let them label you far right.

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 13/09/2025 16:40

Id say leaning hard right and at danger of going too far over.

Id also say you dont sound like a nice person and id feel very sorry for you if this wasn't a ragebait post in the same format as the podcaster Kirk did.

I know id be very embarrassed to tell people I watched his videos out loud. Its like admitting you like to throw rocks at poor people in your spare time or shave toe clippings on your dinner.

Definitely not a post like that and what makes me a not very nice person? There is nothing in what I think that makes me not nice, why? 😔

This makes a difference. I am also an ex teacher and believe the education system needs an overhaul.

Do you not believe Trump is a paedo btw or do you just not care? This is what genuinely concerns me.

Also I hate lies and there are a lot
of lies about things Trump preaches.
