'Far right' madness

[LadyOnArooftop]

I occasionally visit The Viking shopping centre in Jarrow.. They have a statue of two vikings, which is probably why the place was so named. I was gobsmacked when I read that the police have reported this statue to the local council for being far-right and having links to slavery. Outside of Morrisons there's a statue honouring the Jarrow hunger marchers. So far this one has escaped the statue police, for how long i'm wondering? I'm just glad the police have cleared up the rampant crime in that area so they now have the time to go after statues.
The bar for being labelled 'far-right' is getting ever lower and lower...

Ask anyone who uses the term "Far Right" for a definition, they cant give you one.
Right wing is generally less government, more capitalism, less regulation.
So by that measure they would be Anarcho Capitalists.
What tickles me the most is that the "Far Right" are called Nazi's or Fascists.
Neither of which were "Right Wing", they were left wing, centrally controlled, ideologies.

Seems that most people dont know thier history.

Such as the likes of the historian Richard Evans? Previously Professor of History at Birkbeck College, University of London, currently Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University. Published author of 18 books, translated in eight different languages and including his highly regarded trilogy on the history of the Third Reich.

What would he know about it, huh?

You won't have heard of him because clearly it's a topic that you are not familiar with, but he is considered to be a world-renowned expert on Nazism, unlike you, who isn't.

Do you have a point to make?

I still fail to see how you can argue that the National Socialists were not a centrally governed economy in the name of the "Volk".
The right, by its very definition is against governmental control and regulation.

The only difference between Communism, Fascism and Nazism is one is class based, one is nation based and the third if race based.

Individualism is not a consideration.

Whereas Individualism is the prime tenent of the "Right".

Googled word salad.

How about Sir Ian Kershaw, the world's foremost expert on Nazism?

What would he know about it, huh?

These two geniuses are not even aware, that if you mouse over a profile picture it states the time when that individual was last "viewing the forums"(thanks for the shout-out you know who). Christopher spends day and night "viewing the forums", and whether he is posting or not.

 

[Kev45]

Ask yourself, who on earth spends day and night, when they have stopped spam posting, clicking on the forum to see if anyone else has replied to their clickbait posts?

How about the German historian, Joachim Fest. Who was another world-renowned expert in Nazism?

What did he know about it, huh?

Or how about the journalist and foreign correspondent, William L. Shirer, known as one of the "Murrow’s Boys" and who authored The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, a history of Nazi Germany and which to this day is still cited in academia, a very important book.

What did he know about it, huh?

 

[Kev45]

They all have one thing in common. All of them are/were world renown EXPERTS in their field, who have debunked the far right spew regarding Hitler, or Nazism, or myths about the National Socialist German Workers' Party, or socialism and the left wing.

What would they know about the subject, hundreds of published works between them, compared to google experts, huh?

It’s partly due to the lukewarm “conservatives” that change their beliefs whenever they are challenged, we don’t have any hardliners anymore or any actual parties that care about people.

I didn't realise that speaking the truth is now known as click baiting. I really am out of the loop aren't I!
