Who is us, who is them, and why is it okay for us to hurt them.
Everything else is window dressing. This is not merely a feature of the right wing, but of all politics. Often the violence being justified becomes so normalized the debate then centers around the extent of it rather than the enactment of it.

Modern conservatism is an ideology of hate moreso then any other unifying force.

That’s a cynical take...

That might just be my silly personal bias, though
Phaenix wrote:The parties themselves? Absolutely. They spiel such hateful ideology that I wonder if they've confused conservative with supremacist. The common follower? Mostly no. A lot of my family is conservative, and while I often say, "How can you vote for this guy? You don't do agree with anything he says!" they are good people, who mostly just want to protect their way of life.
New Carthagea wrote:Saying that all conservative parties are hateful is a rather stupid statement. Sure, a lot of far-right, and right-wing parties have members who incite hate speech and are racist in their words and actions. but it is not a problem that plagues this side of the axis alone. Racism and hate-speech are there all across the political spectrum, so it is wrong to promote one side as angels, and other sides as the evil people. Both sides have their flaws, and we should work towards making the political arena a more peaceful and welcoming place.

Kandorith wrote:Not necessarily, although extremism appears more in ultra-conservationists parties or any party going for political extremes for that matter. I do not see conservatives parties as hateful, but rather some individuals as such (Looking at you Taro Aso). Some degree of conservatism is not necessarily bad, it can actually connect the youth and the old in a country through customs and culture as youth mostly tries to rebel against the elderly just because a lot of customs can be "dusty and boring". I think a healthy amount of conservatism is good for any country, yet there is a more thin line between extremism and healthy in said conservative parties which we should be careful with.Feklarnia wrote:
The LDP isn't exactly far right, it's more complicated than that. The LDP is split up in factions of which one is indeed far-right and ultra conservative (which sadly holds the most power right now due to the party voting system and imo, corruption). The other factions are mostly center-right as far as I recall. Japanese politics is extremely fragmented and inherently corrupt which even creates extreme divides within political parties.

Except the nationalist far-right part of LDP is extremely powerful. Even former PM Abe was a part of it.
