Very, very far. What the hell is far right anyway? I haven't heard anything provocative from Anne Marie Waters at all. They're hardly the BNP. Everything she has said re Islam is completely valid. She's not against the actual people, just the ideology.
You're being pedantic. Racism encompasses ethnicities as well. It functions under the same premise.
Whether or not they classify as a race is a minor point. People know what the modern use of the term encompasses. Race is a social construct; not a definitive scientific classification, just like ethnic bigotry.
Remember, Morrissey has come out against the idea of foreign influence changing the British culture, period. His words encompass much more than just Muslims. Certainly, they are his primary target, but if it's about the culture, then the it's about ethnic immigrants in general.
Do you think the KKK thought of the French, and Spanish when they decided on their ideology, and who it represents? No, it was about preserving white protestant Americans.
I don't care if Morrissey is an ideological racist, and I find the word "bigot" is the apt description, but I know what others mean when they call him a racist.
I although with reservations have a lot of respect for Israel like Armenina they have taken back and given a homeland to dispora of people who for thousands of years have faced so much persucutition. I also admire they took basically a desert and irrigated it.
You nailed it. It's all been a carefully orchestrated scam to select only white people for his smiths sleeves in order to boost sales. How do you people come up with this stuff?
Jews were hounded out of every god damn corner of the world for a reason. There is some sort of life lesson there for the masses to dig into.Just in passing, this is a myth. Palestine was a populated area for thousands of years before the establishment of Israel, and obviously the people who have lived their during that time did not live by eating sand. Irrigation was introduced by the ancient Egyptians, and there are still villages in Israel that use irrigation systems created under the Roman empire. Most of the olive trees in Israel are older than the country is.
I don't think it's not offensive. People do not have the right to not be offended. If you're going to follow an insane ideology like Islam you better come up with a better retort than calling people bigots and racists. How the extreme left have taken up the cause of defending a religion that goes against everything they apparently stand for is beyond me and every rational thinking human being.With respect; What do you mean AMW is just against the ideology. Ideology represents customs, practices, beliefs and values so basically the important stuff to followers of that faith. Its naive to say it's not offensive - maybe not you who I assume is not Muslim. Any part of any religious practice that breaks or incompatible with the laws of the UK should be dealt with of course.

Yeah I just watched that episode a few days ago.Agreed and just to take it a step further here is an interesting exchange off (liberal) Bill Maher's recent interview with Jordan Peterson.
'BILL MAHER: I would always be asked, “What is your definition of political correctness?” And I would always say it’s the elevation of sensitivity over truth. Which seems like what it still is. Except it’s worse than ever.
JORDAN PETERSON: It’s more like the moral posturing of sensitivity over truth. It’s even worse.'
Couldn't have out it better myself gents.

I've been watching Bill Maher for years. Lately he's been drinking some lefty kool aid but at least he spits some of it out occasionally. There are very few people in his position willing to call out either side for their stupidity. I've been laughing at him ridiculing the republicans for ages but now that the left has become their own joke that little guilty pleasure has gone.I really like Bill Maher, I disagree with about 75% of what he says but he does raise some interesting points and he isn't afraid to go against the liberal narrative if he believes something is wrong as per this interview above. And GOD I do love that Cathy Newman interview, the way Peterson just calmly dissects her is genius. If you haven't seen it i recommend watching Bill's interview with Camille Paglia. I can spend hours watching and rewatching Camille Paglia on YT.
Jung is not discredited and the current left's reaction to Jordan Peterson is telling in its hysteria.
If you want to know what calm, honest discussion looks like, why not try this:

No it isn't.

Er... yes it is?
Do you just want to play a game of contradiction or do you actually have something to say?
Great to be alive.I don't care about your personal inadequacies.
You didn't answer my question. How does it feel?
