    So much of that depends on what you consider 'far' & what you consider comparable.https://twitter.com/Igroki/status/894015464975745024 …

    I think it was about the relative sizes of the far left/right.

        If you consider positive discrimination an extreme leftist idea, u'd need to compare it to negative discrimination - eg no same sex marriage

        I'm a strong critic of the far-left but I can't support regarding its discriminations as more 'far' than clearly comparable right wing ones.

        Opposition to LGBT equality & reproductive freedom seems pretty extreme to me even tho they are not really fringe conservative positions.

        So if you want to complain (rightly) about threats to freedom of speech & positive discrimination as extreme positions on the left...

        ...but insist that only neo-nazis & the KKK fit the description of far-right, you might be grading on a rather conservatively-biased curve.

        It seems likely that everyone's definition of 'far' politics really means how far from their own position they are.

        So, centrists seem 'far' to those on the ends of the left/right spectrum.

        It does indeed. An area with very little statistical backing. Mostly opinion.
