No, he's referring to politics.

Far-right politics[a] encompasses a range of ideologies that are marked by ultraconservatism, authoritarianism, ultranationalism, radical anti-communism, ethnonationalism, and nativism.

You misunderstood me. I'm saying it's wrong to act like people can't believe different things than yourself.


Lord on high help me. When on earth did I say that??

I open any video unrelated to politics and I have shoved down my throat a rant about immigrants or about how everyone is corrupt except $far_right_guy, or clips of a "debate" that shows them "DEMOLISHING THE COMMUNIST ATHEIST LEFT", cropping all the opponent's responses.

Curiously I'm never shown any video from the boring centre party talking about the execution of the budget for 2022-2026 (yawn), or the left wing parties talking about labour law for shift workers (yawn), sensible cycling infrastructure to decrease automobile congestion (yawn), or tax incentives to ameliorate the teacher shortage in certain regions (yaaaaaaawn), despite the fact that those parties have a comparable or much greater voting base, publish videos at the same rate, etc.

I don't think even the most obtuse person can deny, in the year 2025, that algorithmic social media and its relentless peddling of whatever it deems "most engaging" is not a problem.
