But I wasn't asking anyone else what they think, which is why I asked Lysander "what do you think...". If I wanted to know what other people thought about it, I wouldn't have worded it that way. My response to dLockers was to clarify that. Other people can respond of course, but that doesn't answer my question.
I mean, far-left isn't as much of a slur since when you call someone alt-right you're essentially calling them a white supremacist Nazi. Don't get bogged down in the details of your analogy though :clownface:
Shhh! We're not allowed to give answers until Lysander has replied!

Calling people racist and right wing is about as meaningful as "your mum" jokes in the 2020s.
I wonder how he reconciles his Wikipedia cut and paste job with the likes Rogan, Dave Ruben, Blair White, Russell Brand, the Hodge twins (along with Peterson) etc all being labelled alt right. Its an utterly meaningless term that those that sit on the left throw at people with any sort of stance, be it political or social, that is slightly right of center.
And calling people woke is a complement.
Just because racists are trying to normalize racism doesn't prevent them being racist.
Suggesting that the medical industry kills more people than it saves was pretty off the rails.

To be fair, have you ever seen how many people die after seeing a doctor, and in hospitals? Hundreds of people a week go into some hospitals and never walk out again!

It's hardly worth a new thread so I will ask here, how does the hierarchy of the moderators work? In other words who is top dog and what are the layers below? Just curious.
It’s the undertakers you got to be careful of. Never met a happy customer of theirs.To be fair, have you ever seen how many people die after seeing a doctor, and in hospitals? Hundreds of people a week go into some hospitals and never walk out again!

Yep, nailed it.
This was my point, and a copy paste from someone other than the person who used the term doesn't reveal what that person's understanding is. Alt-right is a term that is commonly used for white supremacist groups as well as those you've listed above. It's about as useful and accurate as calling Biden a communist.

You could go by Googles definition, that comes from the Oxford Languages:
No one I've seen branded alt-right rejects mainstream politics, because last time I looked centrist and conservative parties still represent part of the mainstream.. And I can't think of anyone expressing opposition to equality, with the worse I've seen a discussion on equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity, and maybe an opinion on what 'gender' represents..
So when people use this inappropriately it seems to be that they think their far left views are 'all of mainstream politics' and that anyone questioning their definition of equality must be in opposition and so why they often like to lump them with true alt-right white supremecists (or try to make them guilty through assocation by branding them the darling of the alt-right).

Sure
Far-Left: A left wing ideology characterised by a rejection of mainstream politics and by the use of online media to disseminate provocative content, often expressing opposition to racial, religous, or gender equality.
Not exactlly hard is it.

Even though you were quoted and asked a question, you're supposed to let someone else reply and privately message the poster your answer.Sure

I think I'm getting the hang of this now.
How would you define far left?
