When you allow far right attitudes to grow ... they are like weeds that start appearing everywhere.

My general rule of thumb is .... if one's ideals and beliefs start affecting the lives of others ... then their beliefs are not about them, they believe in wanting to control the lives of others.

My only fear is that there are enough people who just don’t care either way that will empower the far right to make lasting changes on our society.

Think of what people had to live with 50 years ago .... 100 years ago ... all the conservative, backward ways of thought and belief back then ... we have progressed, as much as it doesn't look like it, we have progressed and continue to do so. The fact that you are thinking about it, addressing it and debating is a continued sign of progress. Stay well my friend.

Very true. Culture is thought to be the slowest human construct to change and when you put it in context, it’s pretty impressive. Thanks for the different perspective :) I appreciate it.
