i can tell by the way you use the term 'far right' that your understanding of the 'right' is pedestrian. you want to see far right? i'll show you far right. Message 27702720 that was me in 2011. and i have learned more since then. as a matter of fact, until just a few years ago i used to refer to myself as an 'austrian' in the economic sense, right here on SI. but i no longer do. know why? because austrian economics is actually an incremental move to the left of laissez-faire economics. do you know why that's so? so no, i'm not ashamed to be far right, i'm proud of it. you think it's something to be ashamed of because you don't have a good understanding of it. you're much further to the left than you think you are. and apparently you don't have a good understanding of what 'looting' is either or you wouldn't have called the people in that video, 'looters'. i became a registered independent years ago because the republican party had moved too far to the left for me to remain part of it. but the most relevant question is 'why' i would be proud of being on the far right? it's because i understand what the right really is. you, on the other hand, have a poor understanding of it. i know that because if you truly understood what the right was, you'd never think it was a bad thing, no matter how far to the right it was. dress code?? what if tj's demanded that everyone has to wear a klan hood? there's your new dress code. and the thing is, i don't mind if people want to wear masks, or get vaccinations, etc. i only object to forcing people to do it. another thing... can they stop me from going into the store if i'm wearing maga hat? how 'bout a che or mao t-shirt? after all, it's a dress code and they get to choose what you get to wear. and just for the record, no i don't agree with no shirt, no shoes, no service either. and that's even though i strongly dislike when people don't wear shoes or shirts. it's just that i'm not among the 'there otta be a law' crowd. and if some goof came into the store wearing klan gear, i'd just ignore him. i wouldn't assault him. and he would eventually see that just about everyone disliked him for what he was doing. when he had a belly full of that he'd probably stop doing it. that's how freedom works. we're not free when government is allowed to coerce us and manipulate us. and yes, tj's is using the threat of government force on us. it IS about the government... again. one last thing on your comment to miraje that the 'science is settled'. no, the science is never 'settled'. that's a non-science position. as einstein once said of the over 100 letters refuting one of his claims "why so many? one would do."
