I wonder what price Terry would fetch :D
To be as transatlantic-neutral as possible;
Islamophobia/Negrophobia
Fear and loathing of teenagers
Xenophobia
Paedogeddon (Justifiable, but often disproportionate to the actual threat)
There's a few to name.
Changing the subject slightly, but still on a similar note, someone on Digital Spy created a thread a couple of years back, titled 'Nostalgia has stolen the future', which resonated with me in quite a big way.
Despite all the present-day troubles, I don't think I would really want to physically return to any past decade, even though I have been prone to the odd pangs of nostalgia myself on various occasions over the years. I remember back in 2002-03 somehow wishing we were back in 1985 all over again, which I think was related more to a lot of my favourite musical artists who were popular around 85 and a few years onwards were no longer charting high by the early-mid 2000s, and being overlooked in favour of many of the cruddy artists of that era, coupled with the fact that I was only 8 on my birthday back in 85, so I was probably also nostalgic about a lot of my childhood innocence of that period, but in the real adult world things were far from innocent back then. A lot of news bulletins on YouTube and archive issues of our local rag in our town library from that year prove it wasn't really the fabled golden year I retrospectively perceived it to be!
Lol! What?!
I'm probably what you would classify as a populist and I fear none of those...nor prejudge any either.
Ok.
Agreed. But I think we need to remember this isn't the right, it's the farther to the right. Point 1 & 3 is the racist end of the right so we are talking hard, ultra, etc. The kind of people most on the right, like N, want nothing to do with.
Same on the left. How many left wing people identify with the far left? Not many considering Labour lurched that way and lost a great deal of their traditional voters.
Just like the far right the far left have anti Semitism, misogyny, politics of envy, tear it all down types, etc. They both have their hard done bys blaming society.
The farther you go either way the more unpleasantness you encounter. The horseshoe brings them closer in more ways than one.
Popularity is termed for the right but you can see the same tactics used across the spectrum. I wonder whether it's just another label of shame used to shut people down?
