    As if they’re not openly making plans to do precisely that to to visibly queer people.

    Who is “they”?

          Far right isn’t the same as right wing. Right wing could be a liberal. Far right is where you start sorting people by their “worth” instead of letting people discover that for themselves.

            Far right implies further to the right? How is liberalism which relies on a basic notion of individualism in the same category as ethnonationalism which relies on a basic notion of collectivism?

              Far right doesn’t mean more “liberalism”, it means to the right of liberalism. right wing and left wing describe a spectrum within liberalism. Far right and far left are when you step outside the boundaries of liberalism. Whether that takes the form of collectivism or individualism isn’t really material to whether it’s outside the liberal spectrum. What is material is the belief in the democratic process and capitalism.

                So the more centrist the more individualist, and the closer to the extremities the more collectivist? That’s not a perspective I’ve heard before. But I guess what I question again is then what makes something right wing? Leftwing is usually described as vaguely Marxist- but how is a monarchist and a fascist in the same category?

          The usual thing it means to people who follow politics. I’m not gonna explain basic vocabulary to you.

            Which is what? Monarchist? Liberal? Fascist? Those three things are described as right-wing sometimes but are all contradictory.
