Let's not call right-wingers stupid please, it prevents us from taking the threat of right-wing violence seriously, they are malignant and insidiously clever in how they promote hate and violence, hiding their messages behind "memes" and "edgy jokes".
Don't believe me? look at the confession of former white supremacist "meme-lord" Timothy Gionet:
Gionet, who claims that he sees “normie-tier conservatives” being radicalized to the far-right on social media, says he wants to warn other people away from being recruited to white supremacist groups through memes and “ironic” racism.
“I really thought this was just fun memes and jokes and edgy 4Chan posting and all this stuff, and then you get to the end of this rabbit hole and you realize these guys are serious,” Gionet said.
A libertarian thinks pollution is not the responsibility of the person who created it but of the person who is injured by it, and that makes libertarianism a form of oppression by the haves upon the have-nots, and by the people of today upon the people of tomorrow.
One can be far right (small, limited government) and not be racist.
Far right is not small, limited government. Not anymore.
Small government is libertarian now, or, if you're educated, classical liberalism. Most of the small-government clubs are being overrun by fascist nutballs.
America has a rising fascist movement, and recognizing the problem now will return a lot of people to the small-government point of view.
A small government lacks the power and pervasiveness to be fascist.
Please! shut the fuck up! Nowhere did I mention "right wingers". That idea came from your own stupid biases, trying to derail the conversation! And your bullshit on "radicalization" is even stupider! Damn! You're an idiot! And the advocacy of censorship also makes you a fascist!
Once he was convicted of raping and murdering scores of women, Ted Bundy claimed pornography was the first step towards becoming a serial killer. Of course, millions of other people looked at pornography and didn't become one, but that didn't stop the religious right from seizing on it to prove the evils of pornography. And Ted got an excuse out of it.
While I do find it amazing that the technique has crossed the political aisle over the course of my own lifetime, ultimately it's a pattern of any group of fa

Might want to check the political affiliation of 'Tipper Gore'.
There has long been 'puritans' in both political parties.
