Are you a right-wing extremist? Take the quiz the British military uses to identify the dangerous

It may be.

I think your reading to much into that. It is entirely more likely it is just a geographical thing. Where I am (small town PA) I hear it often from both sides, with the connotation that advocates of the other side are not "true" patriots. I have never really associated it in any way with a particular ideology and I imagine even the most awful of them would seek to justify their position using the term. I will grant you that it is being pushed right as more and more of the left advocates for globalism, though I honestly don't see why the two would be mutually exclusive.

 

Nope, don't buy it...

If your showing me where these groups use the term to describe their movement, I already knew that and believe I mentioned that some would seek to justify their ideology with the term. They don't get to define the word or have sole use of it.

 

"Make inaccurate generalisations about ‘the Left’ or Government"


This sounds a lot like a dictatorship...

 

“Involve colleagues in closed social media groups”.

That’s the scariest one of all. Of course, people in this country have a right to do that.

But being in an information bubble filled with bigotry and lies is destructive to the body politic in general.

 

I don’t know about this thread.

But expressions like this fill Political Forum every single day.

 

We had posters about bags during many years when the IRA were doing attacks. The same would be true after Muslim backpack attacks. It is pretty much in my bones to be suspect of any unattended bag.

According to our police the reason we have not had more Islamic terrorist attacks is because Muslims do inform them when they see something they find fishy. I don't see anything malicious in those demands. These were/are about concerns of real dangers not politics. The others politics.

 

Because none of it makes you a RWX.

This is how you weaponize free thought.

Hitler used similar propaganda.

"Once in power, Adolf Hitler created a Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda to shape German public opinion and behavior."

 

I believe half of what is said on this forum would have been considered unacceptable to most of this forum only five years ago.

 

It seems pretty clear no trumpkin would make the UK army grade.

Are trumpkins extremists or is the UK army a beta cuck fascist outfit with a progressive loony leftist bent who all suffer from DTS and hate conservatives?

It's a conundrum, for sure.

 

Are you a progressive extremist?!?

Some of these warnings are:

• Describe themselves as 'Globalists'
• Refers to Free Speech as some right wing or democratic plot
• Describe homogenous towns as ‘lost’
• Looks at opponents as ‘Traitors’
• Use the term ‘fascism’ (to describe anything conservative)
• Make generalisations about Christians and Jews
• Have Antifa extreme group stickers or badges on clothing and personal items
• Make inaccurate generalisations about ‘the Right’ or Capitalism
• Deny the reality of racial conflict or possible ‘Race War’ as a result of flooding Western nations with foriegners
• Threaten violence when losing an argument, although claiming that Antifa groups protest peacefully
• Become increasingly angry at perceived injustices or threats to so called ‘Multiculturalism’

What's really stupid about the original list is that most people outside of Western nations (you know, all those places that are really homogenous) would likely qualify as 'right wing extremists'.

And yes, the list is Orwellian as ****.

 

I know which group would be charred chunks of over-marbled meat after a firefight between the two...

 

• Describes fly over country as deplorables.
• Uses the term homophobe, misogyny, racist, Nazi, fascist.
• Don't even try to debate and instead use whatever means to silence their opponents including violence.

 

Neo-nazis do not identify as republican

Thsts a lie

 

Indeed.

 

Naturally the brits would fear the term patriot

Those people cost His Majesty an important colony in the New World a little over 200 years ago

 

Interesting, Using the word 'Patriot' in the UK I think is a very recent thing. Before I think it was considered a bit too near 'nationalist' and then it started to be used in Scotland in an attempt to claim as much support of Scotland by those against as those voting for Independence. Independence was strongly against ethnic Nationalism despite the SNP's name and owed its eventual following to grass roots groups which had nothing to do with the SNP. So BritNationals were called Patriots. To me it is still encouraging that kind of feeling - us the best. I am not suggesting for one minute you would be using it in that way - seen no evidence of that but that is what I think, the cunning introduction of terms which move towards Nationalism. Another thing I have been thinking about quite a lot recently. When did it start that any speech given my any head of state had to have their flag in the picture and if a lot of them all their flags. I am sure this is a relatively new activity.

 

This is exactly the tactic fascists use to stifle the speech of opposition. Call folks who you disagree with names. It always seems to work...

The truly ironic thing here is that the "army" seems to want to indicate that somehow their own propaganda isn't both "nationalist" or self protecting authoritarianism. When the thought police come after you, it isn't because they are the problem....

 

It's amazing how they gloss over the fact that actual Nazis are literal socialists... or perhaps intentionally ignore the fact as it makes it easier to then conflate Nazis and conservatives. Some are disingenuous, some are terribly misinformed, I suppose.

 

Names have meanings.

It has already been pointed out by the Scotsman that this does not carry the army loco so may not be them.

 

LIE. Neo-Nazis sure as hell don't vote Democrat, Communist or Green. They vote straight-ticket Republican. Do not try to sell that blatant BS, you will not win.

 

except that they were not but I'm not getting into that one again.

 

I’m a right wing extremist ... along with Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Eisenhower, Reagan, etc.

 

Hence the banning, deplatforming, and demonitizing of conservatives on social media platforms. It has more to do with them ******** themselves over conservative influence than it has to do with "bigotry", etc.
