Once again, and for the last time, it is not true. And you show that again by implying that this thread is based on Alan when it is not. As I said, I am not going to waste my time anymore. If you bring it up again, then I simply won't respond.

What isn't true? I never said the thread was based on Allen. I said your opinions are Allen's. Different thing.

Why do you think it is okay to be far-right, matty?

My views are not based on Alan. I've had these views 3 years before I even started listening to him.

Good, thanks for asking and staying relevant. I wouldn't identify myself as far-right (maybe in some areas, but not overall), but I believe that everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions, without having to be insulted for simply being of that ideology. If you criticise someone's actual views, then fair enough, but time and again I have hear people simply using "far-right" in the context of an insult. That's completely different. Heck, I would be asking the question if people were using the term "far-left" as insult in itself.

I never asked you why you are far right or to share your experience of being far right (like Allen). I'm asking you why you think it is okay to be far-right.

I already said, everyone is entitled to their ownh views and opinions. There is no good or bad. There is only subjectivity.

So you would have no problem electing someone who had the personal opinion that an authoritarian government would be good for Australia?

Of course I agree that everyone can have their own extreme views. It's when these extreme views are attempted to be sold as mainstream that problems begin. Hence why we don't need far right or far left people in politics, and why generally far right and far left people are a little wonky (i.e one Allen worshipper and opinion-stealer we know of on this forum, and in fact on this thread too).

Here is a question for you matty: What are 5 far-right opinions?

There you go ruining it again. I thought that we were actually getting into a bit of discussion, but the snide remark about Alan comes again. In future, don't bother.

I'll take that as you having no idea what far-right means. Unless you still wish to have a go at naming 5 far-right opinions?
