Few people are going to say a center-right liberal-conservative is evil. It just so happens to be the case that the contemporary right-wing in many developed countries have rejected mainstream center-right politics in way of far-right nonsense. And yes, the radical right is a very callous, xenophobic, hierarchy-adoring bunch and deserves to be treated as they are. Likewise, if there were a mainstream Stalinist or even Marxist-Leninist left-wing in our contemporary period you'd see a bunch of people on the left considering them to be a threat in the same way. But at least in the country I live in (U.S) they're marginalized to the <.01% of the population who join the PSL and ACP. |
Especially since a large chunk of Europe has often been ruled by centre-right parties, Lol. Some centre-left but not often a truly left-wing party. Eastern Europe in particular are pretty Conservative but I wouldn't accuse them of all being Nazis. I hate them but I wouldn't say the Tories are Nazis, likewise I wouldn't make that same accusation of Germany's current ruling party or Poland's PiS, etc. There are other words I would use but not Nazi, Lmao. But accuse a few political parties across hundreds of being Nazis and suddenly you think everyone is a Nazi, Lol.
I'd happily label AfD as an up and coming Nazi-like Party, Israel and Russia are essentially their own version of Nazi-Regimes right now so I would also be very suspicious of anyone who supports those two as well, if you're a European who supports Russia's actions then you're a traitor to Europe and defending fascist actions by a Nazi country, that makes you a fascist too.
But in Europe, despite my other disagreements with them, I can find comfort that a lot of right wing parties in Europe are anti-Russia still but there's a trend of far-right politicians appearing out of nowhere now, suddenly receiving a lot funding and attention and manipulating people with bullshit populism to gain voters, conveniently a lot of these politicians are pro-Russian too or at least, helpful to Russia's agenda.
And yeah, I've argued with the far-left on the Russia-Ukraine issue too, I've argued with so these apparent communists, there are a certain portion of the left who have a blind-spot when it comes to foreign policy and are totally naïve when it comes to Russia and too tunnel visioned about how bad "The West" has been and still is (which I don't disagree with) but it doesn't make Russia good.
The difference is though, I've encountered so few of these people, they're almost an irrelevant portion of left wingers, the far-right are far more prominent and I've ended up arguing with the far-right far more mostly because I don't agree with them on almost anything but even the Russia-Ukraine issue, the far-left's problem is naivity, the far-right's problem is they fucking support it, Lol.
