Who Are You Calling Far Right?

For the past 20 years, people who disagreed with The Establishment were simply called “racist”, It didn't matter much what the subject matter was. Anyone who was against a total tidal wave of immigration was labelled “racist”, or the slightly milder but equally as head-turning “xenophobe”. Anyone who openly feared the gradual erosion of British culture, of patriotism, of being proud to be part of a nation that could laugh at itself, innovate, invent and preserve a unique sense of individualism was labelled “racist”.

But being called racist for thoughts and speech that are patently not racist or racially motivated no longer washes with many of us. The term has been devalued through overuse, through inaccurate use. It's like the boy who cried wolf - except this shrieking boy is usually an upper middle class Brit from the leafy south. And not always a boy, of course.

Now that's not working anymore, the new term of choice is “far right”. If you disagree with the development of a mega mosque, you're “far right”. If you protest against radical Islam, you're “far right”. Sooner or later, if you protest against mass immigration, you'll be considered “far right”. And then one day, protesting against the introduction of 1984 style telescreens in your home and workplace will be considered “far right”. Drinking, smoking, eating a burger, reading a newspaper, holding hands, speaking before midday, having the day off, taking a shit, will all be considered “far right”.

But what is “far right” anyway? Rather ambiguous, don't you think? And more to the point, what does it mean when used by The Establishment?

The far right is seemingly becoming more centric by the day. It's a pathetic and futile attempt to associate anyone who disagrees with The Narrative as somehow Nazi, fascist, all for the mass genocide of ethnic minorities and all for insane greed Gordon Gekko style. It puts those simply defending old British tradition, jobs, morals and proper libertarian values in the same league as the low-down footsoldiers at white supremacist rallies chanting “Kick the fuckers out”.

The newspeak is already appearing. Just look at those who are cynical of The Establishment's motives regarding the climate change phenomenon (ahem, scam). They are labelled “climate change deniers”. Nobody in their right mind denies that the climate changes but the closeness of this term with “Holocaust denier” (people who DO deny the Holocaust) makes it a very dirty term indeed. But people are catching onto the inaccuracies, the lack of factual back up. Even so, it almost makes you want to cave in and go with the flow for the sake of an easy life, doesn't it? Or does it?

The thing is, so many people have been called so many names that names don't matter anymore. Behaviour matters. Name calling is no longer the easy get out of jail free card to toss into an argument you have no viable, well thought out counter attack for. It no longer embarrasses people into silence as people now simply ask “why”. They ask for it to be justified and backed up with factual and behavioural evidence. The Establishment rarely have any, besides some weakly linked comparisons that are easily seen through. The journalists don't like to ask the difficult questions though. It may result in a cancelled all-expenses-paid dinner invite to a 5 star hotel.

Now onto the altogether lesser “right wing” label that is so often dished out to organisations like the BNP, who if anything, are extremely far left. This permits a new kind of name calling. Whereas someone could simply be called “fascist”, now they're called “right wing fascist”. You'll need to pay close attention to media outlets like the BBC. Not so much the website. It's more a term thrown in for good measure during drive time. This is purely designed to smear the entire right wing, particularly the centre right, who are comprised of an often intelligent type of modern conservative who are thoughtful and simply won't cave in and toe the line.

So we smear them. We don't do it directly. We do it by associating them with extreme organisations such as the BNP and even Combat 18. We do it by referring to those organisations as “right wing”, as opposed for far right, far left, extremist or whatever label the rest of us would see fit. That way, anyone who describes themselves or is described legitimately as right wing is instantly (in the minds of the Establishment and those indoctrinated by them) admitting to racism, homophobia, bigotry and xenophobia, all in one hit. So “right wing” becomes a dirty term too.

But it's a slippery slope though. From humble beginnings and associating a term nobody really understands the true meaning of with evil (what does far right mean anyway? Neo-capitalist perhaps?), we've now crept very much into associating a widely held view (i.e. plain old “right wing”) with evil too. It's like word association. But it won't stop here. The smear will then extend to those who brand themselves as centric. But this won't be dubbed centric. In fact the highly centric, often left leaning Tories are still branded right wing, and we know how right wing is dirty.

What we're left (no pun intended) with by The Establishment, is a choice between left and far left. The only two acceptable political paradigms in existence. It's either socialism or communism. It's either mass immigration or scrapping borders altogether. It's either strictly monitored speech or no speech at all. It's either pay high taxes or be dubbed thick and incompetent, in the case of climate change.

Name calling was a wonderful thing – once. But it no longer washes. Back yourself up and get ready for a battle, but always remember: there are more of us than there are of them.

Politicians take note. Beware of the wounded animal. It may just vote you into oblivion one day.
