I don't think it counts as a far-right view.

And that depends on the definition of "far-right" (to go full circle here) - Just saw today a flyer that was in a school, that argues the GOP is essentially the same as Nazis in Germany in 1939. With a comparison of (Strawmen-) viewpoints...

Yes, we all know that 'far-right' can be used wrongly - not to describe extremist fringes. I'd still like to talk about the most extreme rightwing views tho & am currently saying that they are giving me less to get my teeth into than extreme leftwing views.

Really? - Can you give me one or two examples? I find both extremes very easy to dismantle with science... - both try to ignore science. I do admit that right wing just dismisses science and left wing try to circumvent it with word games, but in the end, denial is denial...

Huh? We seem to be at cross-purposes here. Yes, they both deny science. My examples will be of theories which do that which I can get my teeth into. I think you think I am arguing something I am not.

I am currently studying a great body of scholarship around feminist epistemology which includes distinct concepts of epistemic injustice, epistemic oppression, epistemic exploitation, epistemic violence, privilege-preserving epistemic pushback, reason/emotion divide, situatedness

It's all a big fascinating complicated mess all building on itself which I can dig right into and take apart and uncover the sources of and refine down the core assumptions and show why they don't work. And I can show how this manifests in society and ideas of 'stay in your lane'

I am not getting any of this from the far-right. There's no scholarship being produced now that I can find and in conversation, I usually just hear assertions about racial superiority and conspiracy theories and the death of western civilisation which I can't probe too far into.

This is what I mean about there being little substance or depth. I am making this point in response to the suggestion that ppl who criticise the left more are motivated by tribalism. I am saying, for me, it's about what's more interesting.

I'd certainly agree re the intellectual buzz when you can *really* dig into the scholarship surrounding the issue. And most of the ethno-nationalism scholarship I know of deals with post-conflict national identities; not exactly the UK/US far-right's focus.

Yes! Thank you! That is exactly what I mean by substance and complexity. This is my motivation for looking at extremist, irrational & illiberal thinking on the left rather than the right. So, defining the far-left & far-right is kind of beside the point for this purpose.
