I guess for me it’s all just a kind of sane-washing. I think the term far right is a nice way of saying “not quite full-on fascist.” The “far right” is basically in charge of the conservative party in the US. To the extent that a large part of the “progressive” party could be classified as “the right” (and many of them classified themselves that way not that long ago!). Calling something “far-“ anything denotes fringe beliefs, and I think the window has shifted far enough on the right that anything short of folks who knowingly, actively, and proudly fly fascist flags are just “the right.” The bulk of the party now openly champions ideas that were considered fringe not very long ago.

Glad I bought my plane old sunny fitness bike for something like 1/10 the cost of those fancy clothes racks. 40lb wheel and magnetic braking and no internet connectivity!
Sandhill Crane: some probably pterodactyl-sounding shit
Can we just stop calling it the “far right?” By now, unless they’re actually wearing hoods or dressing in 1940s Hugo Boss, they’re just “the right.” That’s where we are.
So, just watched the episode, and it’s about what I remember. Not bad. Kind of hope they make the whole season this. Someone needs to.
I recently learned that one of the older men in my family does, in fact, have and use a poop knife.
Christ this is a nation of wusses. We deserve the shit storm we are in.
Columbia has chosen appeasement. Their president should inform their student body and faculty that there will be peace in our time, because appeased fascists have a long and storied history of working with those who appease them.
This is the word.
I would also add that the work you “put into” this is mainly in how you vote. We’re seeing the results of the “line must go up” culture in various parts of the world right now - most notably in the US. My biggest fear is that the global economy will need another Great Depression, probably right around the time I’m getting ready to retire, to realize that there is more to company stewardship that making rich people richer.
It is cute that some people still think the US is a nation of laws!
