"Far Left: we're going to force everyone into our micromanaged society and beliefs, because somehow that will fix everyone's problems.
"Far Right: we're going to keep things the way they were, and give people the freedom to do what they want."
Alas, the way people see it depends a lot on what aspects you emphasise and caricature, and which you pass over. And how "far" you consider.
The far right’s definition of “people” is super limited. It doesn’t even include women.
I mean, that's just lies. That the 'Left' around here enjoys as an oversimplification, but doesn't help you understand other people at all.
There are some people who treat women as not people, but even the far right, as I understand it, are much broader than that, and less-far right certainly.
The far anything is miserable, left and right.
What counts as "far" is entirely relative. A few centuries ago, democracy and abolitionism were "far" left
Clearly. Go back a thousand years and it makes no sense. We’re talking about today.
Really? Your comment definitely doesn't make sense then
Except the Far Side.
This is correct. 😂 Great comic
