    The article is behind a paywall so I can’t read it, but the answer to the question is that they are about as dangerous as all other parties. Yes, we should watch out for “far-right” parties eroding democracy and civil liberties. We should also watch out for center-right, center-left and far-left and literally all other parties doing the same. Authoritarian tendencies are bad no matter what ideology is the current excuse.

      So we should not pay more attention to parties with a ton of authoritarian tendencies compared to a party that has one or two viewpoints that may be construed as authoritarian?

      I will posit my question in the nicest way I can think off. Are you fucking removed?!?

          Maybe not conquest but 100% of far right parties are advocating violence, usually including military aggression, towards “the others”, whether it’s Palestinians, Iran, Muslims in general, Jews and Christians in the case of Muslim far right parties, LGBTQ+ people, or more than one of the above.

          You mean other than the ones sucking up to Putin while he wages a war of aggression and conquest in Ukraine while threatening other European countries?

          Yeah you’re right, as long as they only victimise and kill their own people it’s JUST FINE.

          God, the shit people write sometimes…

      I don’t entirely agree with you because what you are saying is basically stop here. Here sucks. Hard. The window shifted. We need to shift left a bit imo. That includes taxing rich more and spending it in house not abroad. Military doesn’t count. They don’t need the extra money. And yes, authoritarian tendencies are bad. They are just made worst by a strong loyal military. How long before they remove the clause about not following orders that are illegal?
