I say it all the time. Go to CNN's website, do a search for far-right, and see how many hits you get. We got 76. Do it for far-left, and you get 16 results … and 95 percent of them are still about the "far-right": "'You're kidding me, right?' Amanpour challenges Le Pen on being 'far-right'"; "Far-right surges in European Parliament elections but center still holds"; "What's behind Europe's swing to the far right?"; "CNN goes inside far-right meeting in Germany" … again, these are the results of a search for "far-left." There is a story about why Americans drive on the right and the British on the left.
I've seen a bunch of "far-right" material on Saturday and I thought I'd share.
You know how it's considered racist to say, "It's OK to be white"? according to the ADL? Well Elon Musk, whom people like AOC are still insisting made a "Heil Hitler" gesture the other night, Zoomed into a meeting of the "far-right" AfD Party in Germany, which opposes unfettered, unvetted immigration, and said that it's OK to be German.

What does he mean by German? White, right?
Second, on Friday, Patriot Front marched in Washington D.C.
Oh look, the Feds put their 'patriot front' costumes on in DC today...

Again, no conservative would ever cover their face.

The media seems to have no interest in getting to know Patriot Front or speak with its leader. You'd think they'd be all over that story.
This isn’t Republicans or MAGA … we don’t cover our faces!
— CharlieSue ~ “Use Some Common Sense” (@CharlieSue_USA) January 25, 2025
So who the heck is paying these guys???
They don't claim to be MAGA, and they were silent throughout the election. What kind of group is this?
Third, I learned that there's an equivalent to Patriot Front in Britain called Patriotic Alternative, and a journo went undercover. At least I think he's a journo … I checked the end of the piece to see if the BBC had a blurb about him, but all I saw was, "If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this story you can visit BBC Action Line."
Camping with the far-right: What I learned from a year inside Patriotic Alternative https://t.co/wZFLd9pnNg
— BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) January 25, 2025
All right, let's hear it:
For the past year I've been posing as Dan Jones - a member of the far-right group Patriotic Alternative (PA).
I've attended protests, a summer camp filled with families, a secretive conference, and when I told them I was sofa-surfing, the group even found me a job.
What I heard while undercover was talk of race wars, threats of violence against migrants, and people planning to arm themselves.
"Jones" says the messages were constant:
Some were racist memes.
For example, a drawing of a policeman handing a note to someone at their door.
The note read: "So… we decided to let a Pakistani rape your daughter. Here's why."
Sounds like they have a problem with Pakistani grooming gangs raping school girls. By the way, Pakistani is not a race.
So when's your far-left documentary airing?

GO undercover in a migrant hotel for a year then come back with the footage

The BBC are becoming more pathetic by the day.

Why do you never get the insider scoop on Islamist mosques and what they really teach?
— Geoffrey Miller (@primalpoly) January 25, 2025
BBC hates only white English people. Defends only those who despise England and want to take it over.
Oh look, the BBC has ‘infiltrated’ a “far-right” group and discovered … some nasty words. Meanwhile, Islamist extremists preach hatred in UK mosques, radicalise teens, and inspire terror attacks — but investigating that? Nah, too risky. Cowards.

WIRED put this up yesterday, and it's so tedious.
The far right is celebrating what it views as a clear signal from the X owner and Donald Trump associate, who made the gestures onstage Monday. https://t.co/Kks1AJlb2d
— WIRED (@WIRED) January 25, 2025
What makes this such grotesque fake news is the clear attempt at trickery. Elon's message was clearly, "my heart goes out to you" and yet you present this image as an illusion designed to say something else.
— Not Arguing 🐭 (@NotArguing9) January 25, 2025
This is deliberate fake news on your part.
Whoever wrote this is a complete fucking moron.
— Tyrone Slothrop🇮🇱 (@JLimebrook) January 25, 2025
I'm expecting the legacy media to use Musk's speech to the Germans as proof that he's a Nazi. I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet.
Maybe the far-right seems so far because you're so far-left that everything seems far.
