    Lol. If a conservative/reactionary had a lightning-fast AI that fact-checked, and fallacy tested, what they typically say and let off a buzzer every time they talked ****e it would be a little like this.

    Working class white people refusing to accept that nonsense that being white gives them some sort of 'privilege' and that being white means they owe something to brown/black people because of their skin colour. Also, when people refuse to agree to put non nationals first just because they aren't white and have a sob story.

    Leaves plenty to be said... considering the range of groups/people that are supposedly right wing. We look at the list and take them at face value because we don't know the attacks ourselves. They're all in the US. Do some searches and you'll quickly find that many of the people doing the attacks have very un-right beliefs or backgrounds.

    Take the IRA for example. Would you consider them to be on the right? Probably. Many people would. Others would associate them to the left, but most wouldn't associate them with either. Even though, SF are typically socialist and on the left. So where do we draw the line in terms of responsibility and allegiance.

    The variety of beliefs and agenda's attributed to the right is staggering.

    The "right" is now anyone who believes that biological males are not women. If you believe in single sex spaces, you're "far-right".

    If you're a lesbian who doesn't want to have sex with biological males who identify as women, you're filled with "bigotry, ignorance, and hate," according to London Pride. Some serious triggering there.
