Yeah I also got banned for stating that a lot of people on the left cry the generic buzz word “racism” when someone slightly right of centre dare give there opinion on the current state of the country…. “The far right” is another common un- justified coined phrase from the left aswell 😂 

My counter to that would be that parties on the right are currently adopting BNP policies. They are far right policies. What's your reason for saying it's unjustified?

My counter to that is alot of the said adopted policies would work well. The country is far too consumed with woke, liberal, fairyland politics and behaviour. The screaming of far right is boring and losing any form of meaning due to its constant over-use for things that aren’t in anyway far right. Anyone would think adolf hitler is running around the UK preaching about the Aryan Race 🤦‍♂️

As someone who is bang neutral as you could get I have never seen anyone here on "the left" openly call some racist for simply putting an opinion forward.

But that's borderline playground stuff? Most of these tedious left / right arguments just end up with folk moaning about people reacting with laugh emojis anyway

On the general topic being discussed, this is still an unpopular opinion:

Nationalism is the puerile veneration of real estate above principles and a fundamental weakness of the human race, with (intentional or not) zero regard for the future outside the smallest worldview. And too often it is cloaked the guise of "patriotism".

 

Oh, and it's responsible for a truly massive level of unnecessary death and suffering.

True but does feel like people use those tags as a substitute for calling someone racist outright

Because you're not allowed to do that, as several on here could testify, even though the words they used were implicit.

The only -ism I condone is speciesism (though this doesn't mean other species can be exploited or abused).

 

Heck, I don't even support realism.

Oh, I'll happily advocate for the total eradication of certain clades of mosquito due to the harm they cause humans.

And there you go again, being a realist!
