    Is the term “far-right” used to mean anyone who doesn’t obey marching orders and won’t conform to opinions of others?

      Literally the opposite.

      After the French Revolution, parliament was arranged so that the people who supported democracy and freedom literally sat on the left hand side; and all of the freeloading, self serving, bootlicking monarchists that wanted to return to rule by a king or queen sat on the right hand side.

      Far right are that but more extreme. They don’t just lick boots but also the assholes of the politicians and billionaires that they worship like gods.

      No, it’s used to mean anyone who’s extremely likely to obey marching orders, dancing orders, camping orders, attack orders (jan 6th on USA, jan 8th on Brazil) and conform to the opinions of their masters

        Yes, anarchists are leftists. I am asking about the context that people use the term “far right” as a collective insult. The common theme I see is it seems people are labelled “far right” as a tactic by those who live through the internet and not outside shaking hands with new people, done as tactic online to prevent anyone speaking bluntly that is not terrified of words, or disagreements and objections.

          Yeah this may have fooled people before Trump and the Charlottesville NC rally and the rest of the world embracing hate, but they ain’t fooling anyone anymore. Stuff it. We know and you know what TF “far right” means. Stop the concern-trolling bullshit.

          Haven’t you heard? The masks are off. You don’t need to justify it anymore or hide it. Just come out and say what you really believe.
