@jeffjarvis The problem is that when people are ashamed of being right-wing, they don't stop being right-wing. They just adopt left-wing aesthetics without any of the principles.
Talking about Labour, are you?

The 'far' left is really just 1970s-style social democracy and only extreme in the context of forty-odd tears of venal neoliberalism and a New Gilded Age.

@Catriona @jeffjarvis Or they externalize that shame and become violent and unhinged, eventually turning to mass murder.

@jeffjarvis isn't it funny how the picture they used to illustrate "unashamedly left-wing" was giving out flowers to women on internal woman's day? growing up in an eastern block country i get the connection but i can't shake the feeling it is trying to associate woman's emancipation as something negative

@jeffjarvis yeah one of those sides recognizes the concept of humility most the time

@Jumpmed @Catriona @jeffjarvis That seems to happen whether they’re ashamed or not, I’m not sure shame is the real factor

@jeffjarvis hell, the generational project since at least the early 70s has been to ensure people were not ashamed of "being right wing" and, indeed, acting like a bunch of dickheads

@jeffjarvis And we in Europe are also surprised that our rather conservative social democratic parties are already seen as ‘left-wing’ in the USA. The normal left then becomes the extreme left. 🤭
Couldn't stop to search the article. OMG this is so bad on so many levels! A normal left party as "radicals", conservatives with left ideas??? Journalism for the bin.
