@ProPublica It appears the only differences between the far right (for individual absolutes) and far left (for state absolutes), is the preference of a hand. The language of hands, is an intentional distortion ground on spurious opposites as opposed to real opposition; of fascist cults to democratic rights. Simply put rights versus cults. Or civil rights versus fascist cults. Their interests are diametrically opposed, as cults are ground on the inequality and injustice of interests, while rights ground the equality and justice of interests. #FarRight #FarLeft #CivilRights #FascistCults

"President #Trump is no longer the most important American in the world.

And it happened at exactly the right time.

The headline of a story from The Federalist, a MAGA publication, said it all — “Read the New Pope’s #FarLeft Takes on Immigration, Climate, Covid and Race Relations.”

And what is far left about #thenewpope? It turns out that he was opposed to family separation for migrants crossing the border during Trump’s first term, and disagreed with Vice President JD Vance’s interpretation of a theological idea called ordo amoris, which Vance had used to argue that American compassion “belongs first to your fellow citizens.”"

I really hate to see that nowadays across the whole #European continent the people are very divided. We are witnessing a rise of #farRight and also #farLeft which both humiliate the #centre.

Can we finally agree that there is no ”we/they?” Can we finally agree that all of us want #Europe to thrive, but just with some other solutions?
Can we go back to the times when discussion was something normal?
Can we finally stop hating on each other?

Far left to far right - Germany's election shows how "extreme" politics really works.

The Left (Die Linke) and the far-right AfD party scored big in Germany's federal election on Sunday.

But their success has less to do with the fact that they offer more or less radical alternatives to other parties than in their style of political discourse - and more moderate parties would be wise to learn a thing or two from this.

Tomorrow is #Trump inauguration. Maybe my next words are quite obvious, maybe you find it somehow controversial, but I need to write it here. The moderate #politicians, who was solving low-priority problems, ignoring the high-priority ones and leads to having another ones, is the reason of #extremist politicians rising. And that's a #world tendency. I want to be wrong, but the only way to gain the balance is to get through this
