- In this episode, Jacob Reynolds is joined by our executive director Frank Füredi, head of EU Affairs Bence Akos Gat and senior research fellow Arta Moeini.
In contemporary political discourse, there is a tendency to classify anything diverging from the left-liberal ideology as "far-right." The team delves into the rationale and ramifications underlying the transformation of the "far-right" label into a potent weapon within modern politics.
Next the team talks about the medicalisation of politics and, consequently, everyday life in general. Medical language now shapes public perceptions of political issues and influences policy debates.
Frank and Jacob delve into the concerning matter of how gender clinicians have been able to carry out highly dubious medical procedures, particularly involving children, as revealed in the recently uncovered WPATH files.

Everything they don't like is called far-right. Everything they like is called democracy.
To try and control behaviour. Doesn’t work on me. Call me far right, don’t give a f.
What is your definition of far right? What beliefs would you say far right people hold? What narratives do they push/support?
I have seen Neo cons use the same argument, people who have differing political views from them are called lefty trotsky communists!
@@bumface3821 Do your rights trump anyone who has different political views to you? The right have been trying to control other's lives for decades, to what they can read. what religion they can be. wether they can be straight or not. and wether they are eligible to vote. (See MAGA) and then accuse the other side of their crime. I am not expecting an educated response by your username.
It's interesting that Plato, Aristotle and Socrates, the philosophical foundations of western civilization all hated democracy. Plato said that democracy as the last stage of government before tyranny.
Far right now means not marxist
Ironic comment
Far right in the 21st century means not wrong.
Well right
Fact checked: far means that there’s no way to be more X in something, right also means correct, therefore, it’s impossible to be more correct than a far rightist
or just plain common sense
I like the line of talking how citizense in western democratic countries are becoming patients and elite is giving them therapy... It seems deep and answers a lot...
"We're all far right now, ee eye yo"🎵
People have gone so far Left today, the "far right" are the liberals 😂
Name one far left government in Europe and name a far left national newspaper.
So, where is this far left power actually existing?
Yes, I am a classical Lloyd George liberal and apparently that's right wing now
@@tonyjeevar6565 oh I thought I'd use far left because the left use far right without plausibility, so why not do the same with the numpties....
"I'm not far right everyone has just gone far left"
@@tonyjeevar6565 The British conservative party, the French government, the Italian government, the Spanish government, the BBC, all the newspapers, most corporations, far too many to list them all. We see them.
Right of lennon is far right according to the elite. Why? Power.
Thank you gentlemen, spread sanity and reasoning in a Europe gone idiotic and hostile to its own people.
Hajrá magyarok!
Why and how are these left wing fascists in power??
I came across this podcast and have found it very enlightening. Looking forward to tuning in again.
Nice format, interesting discussion, sound & video well done ✅
Agreed. Good host too, kept the conversation flowing nicely.
If its not ’far right’, it is far wrong
Because the elites are far left
no room for a different opinion ?
I so appreciate all the MCC discussions I have been watching re these issues discussed here, the panel on net zero/climate change agenda et al ! This is a great service with such urgent issues, not only for Europe, but definitely for all western democracies ! THANK YOU ! (Canada)
I’ve just found your channel. Looking at your video list makes me excited. You have a new subscriber. I love Frank Furedi
While I agreed with Britain leaving the Eu there was one thing I really miss . In Britain with its FPTP voting system which guarantees a legacy party government of parties that have become far left and so similar, the ability to vote in Eu elections was although seen as pointless from a democracy point of view , it did however feel that you could vote for genuinely right wing parties to send a message. PR in Europe has shown by giving the electorate a choice they will migrate right if allowed which means they have a chance to stop this madness. Voting in Britain has become pointless.
"Far-right" is everything that isn't far-left.
You a centrist or one of those neo liberals?
I'm far-right.
BTW, send my regards to Data.
That’s because they are Far Wrong
Spot on
cos they're far-wrong
Superb by Frank Ferudi
Dr. Frankenstein’s monster comes to mind.
Because they themselves are extremely Far-Left and reality and normality are very distant to them....
I am a liberal and I strongly disagree with this video.
What beliefs would you consider far left and far right?
@@yoloswaggins7121most people consider themselves moderate and liberal, you need to define what you consider to be “liberal” I’m guessing it’s not the classical liberal of 50-years ago.
@@davidgifford8112 I believe in liberalism. It kind of describes itself. I socially left wing (pro lgbt, racial and gender equality, free speech, democracy etc.) but economically I fall more to the center (pro free market capitalism with strong safety nets.)
This right wing narrative that modern conservatives are "classical liberals" is absurd. There are conservatives and liberals alive today who were alive 50 years ago.
@@yoloswaggins7121 Free speech is more of a right wing value. It is the left bringing in shocking laws like Scotland's muting rules and Canada's proposed C-63 which would allow life imprisonment for unfashionable opinions.
@@yoloswaggins7121 How do you feel about laws against "hate speech?" Should they exist or do they restrict free-speech? Liberal and Left ideas are in conflict. For example, the idea that citizens should be equal before the law is Liberal, but the idea of Equity - that people should have broadly the same outcomes, and if they don't this is an injustice - is Left. When social progressives talk about racial equality or gender equality, they don't simply mean equality before the law, because in nearly all cases that was achieved many generations ago. Instead what they mean is there should be equal outcomes, equal wealth, equal power, equal representation for all peoples everywhere, even equal happiness and health. That is fundamentally anti-Liberal, because freedom produces inequality of outcome.
Yes, many modern so-called conservatives are simply Liberals in the classical sense, in that they believe the role of the state should be limited to ensuring legal equality, the right to private property, free markets, and the rule of law - as opposed to Progressive-Leftists who believe the state should do social engineering. Typically those who these days describe themselves as simply "Liberal" are often progressive-Leftists, while those who describe themselves as "Conservative" are often just Liberals who owe far more to Hayek than Burke.
Makes the medical industrial complex wealthy , doesn't it.
Thank you very little Rockefeller
‘They’ are a menace brewing
hungarian/orban funded thinktank strange how these people never mention who is paying
Ad hominem. What matters is whether the views expressed are true or false.
If they choose to look at everything through the wrong end of a telescope, then everything will seem far to them.
Re redefining right/left....What you aptly describe here is soooo very true also in USA & Canada ! It is a dangerous falsehood !
It is a fact, however, that there are a lot of right-wing politicians out there. Yes, people do sometimes say some politicians are far right when they are not. However, Boris Johnson was a complete clown. Then there is Nigel Farage 🤡 . Another clown. Imagine having a party that praises the free market. The free market, free trade, which Adam Smith espoused. And then the Lunatic Fringe of that party comes along and lobbies for Brexit.
There are not a lot of right wing politicians out there in the traditional sense , anyone who espouses right wing views are killed at the birth of their career , which is why occasionally a politician on retirement spouts after a whole career of toeing the line , concerns that normal people have about immigration etc.. This is showing that his whole career has been a sham and worthless to their constituents. Brexit was the one and only opportunity to vote for something that I felt was genuinely going to make a difference after decades of voting for the least worst party , not who I wanted or agreed with and they couldn’t even give me that . The regime not only diluted as much of Brexit as was humanly possible but gave us a punishment beating for voting the wrong way by increasing immigration threefold of third world unskilled migrants who will cost us dearly on every metric . As for Adam Smith trading philosophy, this was when we as a nation were so far ahead of others technically and with cheap resources could benefit by trading freely . This is no longer the case and as before when we joined the Eu certain industries critical to any nation were protected with tariffs, along with state ownership of utilities . We chose what needed to be protected but once we joined the European union , where we got banking , Germany industry and France agriculture the rest of the nation was not only left to whither on the vine but allowed to be asset stripped and sold off . Once with our money the Eastern Europe states had adequate infrastructure because of your free trade all our better companies were transferred there usually with an European Union subsidy . They couldn’t even protect our steel industry which was always seen as critical in case of war . Calling Johnson and Farage right wing is as ridiculous as calling the Eu a free trade bloc .
Boris Johnson was, and is, a Liberal. He wasn't even a true Conservative, let alone Far-Right.
Well, it is in many cases not so difficult or based on my personal experience with these movements is that they self-identify as right-wing and even gleefully adopt the Far-Right and Fascist designations. They often are such just because they actually are. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. What I also noticed is that the distinction is often embraced out of generational basis in which the individuals actively reject and take distance of the very often left-of-centre ideations of their parental environments they grew up in, which, with the fall of the soviet/socialist powers, also carry the stygma of being the 'defeated' ideologies. They also often distance themselves in anti-science and develop quite noticeably into conspiracy embracing directions.
From my personal perspective, it worked and works eggsackly the same, but in reverse. Having grown up in a calvinist conservative family and environment, I have grown much more social-democrat, the older I have become. I now see myself as distinctly left-of-centre and rejecting the dictatorship of personalised self-interest (leading to oligarchist ideations and ultimately to kleptocratic gangsterist societies as seen in Rossia and Hungary.).
When they call everything to the left of David Cameron far-left.
Because they were right so far...
There trying too sterile the poor
The Reality is Far Right. We should keep people as far away from it as we possibly can.
Who’s ‘we’ who have to protect the unwashed masses from ‘dangerous ideas’? Don’t forget it was the middle classes, universities and religious leaders that brought the fascists to power, not the working classes. First thing Hitler did on taking power was to destroy the labour unions and imprison their leaders.
ONLY ON THE FIRST PART OF YOUR VIDEO
Although your observations on current political use of language are mainly correct, and I believe that Christianity is still a good and effective force to oppose the expansion of Islam, as it has done it successfully in the past, and if a new crusade was declared the majority of Europeans would still join it, here are some other (annoying) observations on other ideas introduced by Brussels half-literate lackeys only a few decades ago:
The moment of departure from the original EEC rhetoric to the current neo-liberal EU one occurred at some point in the 1980s. And the change its self to me consists in this:
European Politicians (and woke historians) stopped talking about an ancient Europe and started talking about a medieval Europe (a Carolingian Europe, whatever was that supposed to mean-by excluding the whole of eastern Europe and some of the western as well). They stopped talking about a European civilization with deep Greco-Roman roots and started talking about "their common Judeo-Christian Tradition", again whatever that meant and however that so called tradition could be defined as, which anyway has not been satisfactorily defined to my knowledge, as on moral and philosophical grounds it stands in direct opposition to the aforesaid Greco-Roman roots that De Gaul and Adenauer were talking about.
Talking about "Common Judeo-Christian Traditions" may not be far right, but it still is a lot of bollocks. Anyone who does not recognise that he/she still is the beneficiary of the Greco-Roman civilization and tradition which Christianity tried (unsuccessfully) by every means at its disposal to destroy, can stop using and exclude everything Greek or Roman from his life, including language, thought, art, politics, and practical everyday life facilities etc, and climb back to the trees. You still travel on Roman roads, and without the Greek and Latin languages (and concepts) you are left again with "ugh" and other assorted guttural sounds for your communication needs. Up you go! After all the bible is a divine book which can provide every required answer to tree dwellers, can it not?
No, it can't and never has. It is a fragmented social record of the Bronze Age Collapse which coagulated into a toxic codex by the slaves of the Egyptians. The latest iteration of which is socialism.
Certain groups with extreme right wing views and beliefs are never called far right.
Who could that be?I slam,you slam,we slam?
On occasions, Wikipedia can save you a lot of time. "He is married to Ann Füredi". "Ann Marie Füredi (née Bradley; born 31 October 1960) is the former chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, the UK's largest independent abortion provider". I´ve read enough, thank you very much. Just to note the extreme hypocrisy of calling "Pregnancy Advisory Service" a baby-killing think-tank!
Why you call everything far-left?
Frank is right.
What would you prefer to be called? The term far right was coined to describe parties that were perceived to be to the right of history right-wing parties, such as conservative, Christian Democrats and liberals, who in turn were called centrist or center-right. The term was chosen because there is no other term to describe them, unlike other groupings of political parties.
But what do you call them when the so called centre right wing parties have moved so far to the left leaving all their base .
Then why don’t they ever use the term “far left”? Or even “left” to describe other parties the way they do with everything on the right? It’s clearly designed to normalize the far left and stigmatize any party even remotely questioning the crazy policies of left wing parties.
The politicians are using the term far right in a pathetically lame attempt to make anyone who criticises them as being somehow inherently bad. it's not working as it's so obvious it's just an attempt to twist language to control people.
👍
It's pathetic.
wel it's not working :D .. cheap tactics done by cheap ppl.
God is by far most right... In fact God is RIGHTEOUS !! The far right just loves God. Did you know that SINISTER ~ means "Left Handed " It's true ~ "Isaiah 32 : 5 The Vile person shall no more be called LIBERAL, nor the churl said to be bountiful"
Jesus was a commie.
God is the patriarchy.👍
Jesus was a socialist.
That's a laugh. Is this like Trump calling the Democrats the 'radical left communists'? Or the British press calling Ed Milliband 'Red Ed'?
Exactly! The so-called "left" has been bought out. The uneducated public don't know what "left" and "right" mean, while the intelligentsia has developed a cognitive dissonance with regard to the corruption of universities so they cannot process the fact that traditional enemies have aligned against the Working Class, and it is "progressives" driving blue collar working stiffs into the traditional anti-labor political parties.
Fools are insulted by the truth ~
Just like how you all call everyone woke really isn't it? Also in terms of patriotism, don't you think it's great that every patriot just happens to think the country they were born in is the best? What a happy coincidence for everyone.
What is wrong with traditional views that have been a mainstay of any civilisation and country formed over centuries and millennia? Could it be that a patriotic belief system was the best way of protecting your culture, nation and values . A common religion glued this jigsaw together , along with family at the head of its ethos . Why is the progressive message only a few decades old against centuries of tradition a better way than what was adopted since before lands became nations? Progressive politics has everyone fighting for supremacy, law and order breaking down, men in women’s sports and changing rooms , mental illness through the roof and the indigenous majority second class citizens in their own homeland. Competition and in group preference is what a nation has stood for to achieve supremacy, where those around it are too weak or scared to attack it which prevents conflict . Patriotism is not a dirty word but a pride in your forefathers achievement and a means to pass on what you have achieved to the next generation who without patriotism will cease to exist .
