Everybody wants to talk hysterically about the far-right - but people forget that there's a bog-standard, garden-variety right, too.
You know... the people that pretend they want change as long as the change doesn't actually change anything?
I’m a liberal. I don’t particularly want change. I want the current set of rights and freedoms to stay. I just don’t want them to be taken away.
I know. I also know you will happily surrender those meagre "rights and freedoms" to prevent change.
That's why us leftists say, "scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds."
