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

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's a giveaway, for me, to be called far-right. In that the responder is in fact, far-left.
-
Me too because I am close to centre.
-
On all the regular pol quizes I have done, I come out slightly left of centre. It does not match the general pol environment.pic.twitter.com/dQCXkjhlDA

Economics is the major left/right chasm. Social issues, independent of economics, are not personally divisive. Far left numbers > far right.

Many on the left implicitly (and explicitly) define freedom to mean must be financially subsidized or mandated by the government.

Only to the extent that opposite sex marriage & other healthcare is.

Well, as far as I am concerned.Some lefties might want same SSM to be free &abortion but not treatment of obesity-related conditions covered
-
Personally, I don't think govt should pay $ for abortions outside of a hospital. But I think it should be legal. I dunno where that puts me.
-
I don't either. You're American so nationalised healthcare is new to you but has always existed for me. Opinions vary widely here.
-
What else shouldn't the government pay for based on the religious objections of some citizens? Vasectomies? Oral contraceptives?
-
Presumably. Not sure talking abt religious objections tho. More 'take responsibility for your own mistakes' 1/2
-
But this does only seem to apply to sex mistakes. No comparable resistance to paying for other people's obesity-related treatments.
