I'm finding this conversation interesting, on a number of levels. I'd need a detailed definition of "far-right views" before I could join in a dialogue of whether it's "blindingly obvious" that they are wrong/don't have any substance.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/979764760009994241 …

Could you suggest a far-right view which does have theoretical, ideological depth and complexity?

Like I said, we need to ensure we're both talking about the same thing when we refer to far-right. For example, elements of classical fascism overlap with element of socialism. I'm interested in a moral framework approach as well as a sociopolitical historical approach.

How would you define far-right? Academic references are fine, I've got access to the university's online library.

I don't think we'll find a single academic source which defines the far right tho many which look at aspects of it from Nazism, to KKK, to ethnonationalism, to antisemitic conspiracy theories to religious fundamentalism to extreme libertarians who want to make war on government.

You could argue extreme religious fundamentalism, antisemitism and libertarianism are all possible left wing thought processes also.

Absolutely! I have written much on this and given some talks about it.
