It's not hard at all. It just doesn't take very long, especially when talking to fellow lefties. It's blindingly obvious why far-right views are wrong. If you think it's harmful to say far-right views don't have any substance, can you say what the substance is? https://twitter.com/Daniel_Rivieria/status/979762815681445888 …

I doubt whether or not they have substance being the point. But then again the problem is that the far-right dialogue seeps into liberal/conservative dialogue especially with people like Douglas Murray. Questions must be asked such as: "What anti migrant views go too far?"

What did you mean was harmful then? We were saying it's quick and easy to condemn the far-right because there's no substance to it. It's straightforward to say 'racism, sexism, homophobia is wrong because people have rights and dignity. Now what?

It's just more complicated than that tho. What constitutes racism and sexism can be broad or narrow, obvious or insidiously obscure. Anti Islam views can be in good faith or radically bigoted and sometimes it's hard for people to tell the difference.

Yes, I know. How does this relate to what we were talking about tho? What far-right ideas do you think have substance that can be engaged with on its own terms?

I don't think any of them have substance. It's just if you think such ideas remain in groups such as the Charlottesville protesters.

So you agree with us and don't think it's harmful to say the ideas have substance. No-one has given you any reason to think ideas remain in groups such as the Charlottesville protesters. This is a complete non-sequitur.
