Roger Scruton accurately describing how Twitter Tankies, and much of the Left, view people who do not accept all the standard left-wing shibboleths.pic.twitter.com/usPYHrndW1

Many on the right subscribe to some form of natural law and do indeed belive that leftists are immoral for advocating a redistribution of wealth
Hmmm. 1) Some on the right think this way; 2) I don't think it's true that conservatives of Scruton's ilk are just as likely to think their moderate opponents are evil as leftists (see how Twitter Tankies view centrists, for example).

Agree about twitter tankies seeing those on the right and centre as evil. But are they not a small (but vocal) minority of leftists?
-
Do you not think the student Left, for example, tends to think political moderation is indicative of moral failing? Difficult because it depends on what one means by left, centrist, right, moderate, etc - for example, conservatives can disagree fundamentally with neo-liberals.

I'd agree that many do, but I think some on the right do indeed see centrism as moral failing in different respects depending on the kind of right wing view. On the right-nationalist side some view centrism as cowardice for not being more overt, or as nation-/race- treachery 1/

Yes, I'm not talking about right nationalism - I think they are the mirror image of the Left (not in terms of their views, but in terms of the way they see the outgroup).
