^Everyone who doesn't bow to far left orthadoxy is alt-right. oh and also the left never does anything wrong.

2019-05-05 22:07:15 UTC  

If you don't subscribe to WaPo

2019-05-05 22:07:54 UTC  

Technically from before the election I guess

2019-05-05 22:10:13 UTC  

This one gives results

2019-05-05 22:12:35 UTC  

"Interest in Vox - which will become the first far-right party to sit in parliament since 1982 - has snowballed."

2019-05-05 22:13:07 UTC  

How can you possibly give such a strict definition of far right to be able to determine this

2019-05-05 22:14:10 UTC  

Standard beliefs in 1982 would be considered "far right" now I'm sure

2019-05-05 22:14:54 UTC  

"While it is careful to distance itself from the ideology of late dictator Francisco Franco, Vox’s signature policies include repealing laws banning Franco-era symbols and on gender-based violence, and shifting power away from Spain’s regional governments."

2019-05-05 22:16:17 UTC  

None of this sounds far right, at least assuming the gender based violence law is like Title IX or something and not "rape is now legal"

2019-05-05 22:18:44 UTC  

Could be almost anything. That's a pretty vague description, probably on purpose

2019-05-05 22:19:49 UTC  

Wasn't Francisco Franco 'right' only in the sense that he was fighting against actual fucking communists?

2019-05-05 22:21:34 UTC  

He was nationalist rather than internationalist, which is pretty much what defines European Left and Right

2019-05-05 22:24:42 UTC  

Wikipedia says their ideology includes Zionism, which IMO pretty much excludes you from the actual far right

2019-05-05 22:25:54 UTC  

The Wikipedia article seems informative and not extremely biased overall

2019-05-05 22:27:23 UTC  

Sounds like they just want to replace whatever that gender violence law is with one that includes men in its definitions, gender equality is far right I guess

2019-05-05 22:28:08 UTC  

classic jew-loving nazis

2019-05-05 22:36:21 UTC  

The only positions they have that could be reasonably interpreted as "extreme" are on Islam and that's mostly just because all the other Europeans seem to want to have more Islamization

2019-05-05 22:37:11 UTC  

They seem to roughly resemble Tommy Robinson's positions on it

I started looking into that the other day. Very he said she said. Could be some silver bullet divorce shit

2019-05-06 05:05:51 UTC  

yeah, hence why I said "silver bullet divorce shit"
also, relevant older quillette piece https://quillette.com/2019/04/16/divorce-and-the-silver-bullet/

2019-05-06 05:06:45 UTC  

Oh, bother

2019-05-06 05:07:30 UTC  

doesn't the "silver bullet" refer to accusing the husband of molesting the child/children?

2019-05-06 05:08:34 UTC  

just abuse in general really

2019-05-06 06:14:29 UTC  

now they're going after Jim Cummings?
Fucking hell

2019-05-06 06:14:59 UTC  

hey guys it's a good thing we live in a patriarchy or the Silver bullet would actually work....
