Are you right wing?

[bluewolf]

Why is it people with right wing views are generally tolerant of people with left wing views, but the same can't be said in reverse.

I'm not sure that Tolerance and Far Right are usual bedfellows.
I like to think that I'm tolerant of most views, but I find yours abhorrent and a sign of everything that is wrong with society.

Note. One thing I'm not tolerant of is people who don't understand the difference between Of and Have. However, I recognise my failing and am working on it daily.................

Blimey, I'm glad you don't exaggerate

I suggest that you study 20th century European history.

The Jews were the target then in the way that Muslims are now.

Tell you what, have a look at the spectrum of right wing views. You'll find there is quite a range in there. So with regards to yourself and others, there are many people on here who have 'right wing' views on things like the economy, defence, environment, public services and privatisation. And I imagine very few 'left wing' people have a massive problem with that. They may not agree and make counter arguments, but on the whole they do not find their views 'abhorrent'.

Then you have those who are more to the far right where you start introducing views around race, which is when left, and indeed I imagine a lot of right wing people, get at best uncomfortable. You, either though your beliefs or through need to create deliberately controversial posts, are dealing on the more extreme ends with your views. Hence people will challenge and not just 'tolerate' those views.

Because it’s classic I can’t be racist my friend from school is black defence tactics.

Would it give my age away if I said that I don't know which way is good or bad? 😉

During my lifetime I have voted mainly Liberal. I had a brief period of voting conservative but when I saw what a staunch rightist (Maggie Thatcher) did to the country I never voted Conservative again.

A lot of the reason I like living in this country is because of a lot of the things that Labour brought in through the years, NHS, Care in the Community I really appreciate but what I dislike about them is the lack of ability to keep a reasonable control of the countries finances but the Conservatives have gone to the other extreme too much disregard of the poorer people in the country.

From the school "if you want to talk about race or culture, you must be racist"

what Irony? you seem to be making something up

The irony of someone castigateing others for castigating others.

Wtf are you on about

Tolernace and acceptance of people with right wing views is not an issue and doesn't make someone a bad person, xenophobic and borderline racist extreme right hand views on the other hand is not palettable to most decent human beings..

There will always be differing viewpoints and they should both be taken into consideration when forming opinions. Your post would be better if it left out the Right Wing bias and suggested all extreme views are not palettable.

Stop digging.

Isn’t Far Right people like NF or BNP or EDL etc ? Fascists ? Racists etc

Certainly as far from Tolerance as you can get

I’m not sure if I’m right or left - mainly voted liberal or independent

 

[Jamesbrown]

Not sure what right wing is, not sure I can be labelled. Is their a side for my beliefs?

A misanthrope, anti-establishment brexiteer?

 

[robinthehood]

Stop digging.

Lol you've accused me of who knows what and now you can't back it up . Whatever mate

 

[clubchamp98]

Right or left it’s not that simple anymore.
I think all parties will not fulfill their promises in the manifestos and always come up with a reason not to.
So the one piece of legislation that you voted for can be dropped like a stone once in power.

At the moment I would not give my vote to any of them,

 

[Kellfire]

No of course I’m not. I don’t think I’m friendly with anyone who’d say they’re right wing because in modern politics being right wing is akin to saying you’re almost entirely money centric and don’t give a damn about anyone but yourself.

 

[IanM]

Depends on the definition of left and right.

If you used Keynes v Friedman it's an interesting debate. Some remarks on here might assume that you can only be "far either" and attach all sorts to it
