In fairly short order, the far right have gone from fringe lunatics to a supermarket ideology: different aisles for different resentments, all under one roof of hate. Cheap conspiracies. Hyper-masculinity. Cultural grievance. Violence. linkedin.com/posts/drrobwray…

Branded as movements for free expression and public safety, they are orchestrated and funded by far-right groups whose actions achieve the opposite. In truth, they are a double oxymoron. Click for full article.
