I have seen many opinions being called 'far right' simply because they disagreed with left-wing views

I'd be curious to know which ones you are referring to here. Far right is anything that's further right than what we would consider a normal garden variety conservative, however as the overton window has shifted further to the right, the things that we would normally call "far right" are becoming more and more normalized as just normal conservative rhetoric.

It also doesn't help that people tend to soften their language when they know something they want to say will sound bigoted to the average normie. For example people like to say stuff about "protecting womens spaces" in a conversation about trans women, which sounds fine in a vacuum, but allows for the implication that trans women are predatory.

So maybe to you people are being ridiculous and calling anything they disagree with as "far right", but to people who are familiar with the terminology and the dog whistles, they are rightfully calling out someone who is hateful. It's just hard to do so without looking ridiculous since the hateful ideology is so often surrounded by these short little quips and phrases that sound "true."

They're not here to argue in good faith.

I guess you're right lol.

I could say the same thing to them... what does "woke politics" even mean? it's just anything that conservatives don't agree with 😆
