Far-right, or do you just disagree with them? : Comments

By William Hill, published 2/12/2016

Anyone who didn’t know better would think Turnbull’s conferring with his conservative parliamentary caucus is tantamount to Churchill cosying up to Oswald Mosley or George W Bush negotiating with the Klan.

"Maybe it's actually all about them and not really about us at all?". Brilliant analysis!

if u were able to ask a unborn baby they would tell you that by far the most violent are the feminist and left. As already pointed out the left also throw tantrums when they don't get their own way. The hopelessly flawed dogmas of no smacking has produced the most self centred violent generation we have seen. Look at the getup drongos and others protesting against the President elect. The 'moderate' left in general are more violent than the right.

One Nation was never Far Right. It was old school traditional Labor.
Protectionist, traditionalist, assimilationist, etc.

It supported the Union movements fair trade not free trade and anti-globalisation stances. It supported CIR as did the Australian Democrats. It looked to buy back the farm.

Unfortunately Abbott came along and for purely political reasons and with help from a few friends bankrupted the party and had Hanson gaoled. Later, convictions quashed and freed.

Any extremes in politics and society are IMO a bad thing. LW Progressives are a bad thing also, it is the conservative nature of Australian society that has led to the Australia we have today. Unfortunately our polity is at a low point, I can think of no one I would vote for personally and no one that does not lie.

Yes. we are seeing the rise of the far right/fascism/nazism.

Humans are a varying mix of traits, rational. emotional and instinctive. When we see instinct increase is representation in traits then we see reactionary politics. The people with more rational traits are quick to recognise it so we have division based on rational versus instinctive. So instead of workers versus business, we have instinct versus evidence. Clear in US where red and blue states have swapped. So climate change for eg is an instinctive response, to deny it is not rational. Climate change and racism go hand in hand because the brain is leaning toward instinct rather than logic to process messages.

So just climate change denial alone makes it the biggest crime against humanity in history. That should be enough to say we are "too reactionary"

They are not necessarily racists or violent but always have enemies. With a financial crisis the instinct is to be productive like a worker bee, everyone has a job to do, women must reproduce, the weak are to be left behind. Translate to work for dole, baby bonus to get women breeding and anti-abortion stance and denial of disability pensions. Goes against rational thinking where capital says we should pay dole and accept some unemployment, where we have chcie in what work we do

ROTFLMAO
Really Missus...?

You think maybe after 30 years of the rise of progressives through our institutions and politics that finally there has been a reaction from a grass roots level against Political Correctness, labeling, name-calling, intimidation, and the lack of proper representation of the largely Conservative Australian population? hmmmm?

When were we asked about Multiculti? Answer... NEVER. Hawke stated he would not allow a referendum on it because he knew it would be voted down. How many times have the Left thrown around the "R" word to silence opposition and dissent. LW progs cannot tolerate dissent.

If you keep people down long enough eventually there will be a revolt of some kind. Eventually you will cause and equally radical response at the fringes.

I love it when the look down their noses elites try on the holier than thou crap they always do, always propping themselves up by putting others down. Nice example Missus. ROFL.

T800 What rise of progressive? The ALP and Liberals joined at the hip. We have seen regression, not progress. No effective opposition to the flaws on Neo-Liberalism. Zero.

Racism is for regressives, it makes no sense to an evolved human. But people have a right to be racist as long as it causes no harm However it does not make it a political issue, Has nothing to do with politics like not liking Manly Rugby team or hating Darwin has nothing to do with politics. Dumping political correctness is extremist, yet those that want the right to speak freely about people based on race get cry baby tantrums when they themselves are labeled correctly as nazi. Give me a major break.
