Iran is better than Israel any day of the week.

When discussing the pendulum swings, and extremes, what "extreme right" is Lisa talking about? There has not been any such pendulum swing towards extreme right yet anywhere in the Western world, unless she's projecting from what she sees in Israel, which she says is an existential fight? She's not incorrect in most of her remarks mind you, but this former statement I have a problem with.

She means Hungary, Poland, Argentina etc.

@@ladyjade6446 Thanks for your input. My take: the word "extreme right" has been abused, and completely distorted, has become meaningless. As if insisting on controlling your own borders, and exercising the sovereign right of the people to limit/control who comes into your country is somehow "extreme right", or managing state finances prudently is "far right". Total nonsense. This is the language of propagandist manipulators to discredit people they don't like, and balanced approach podcasters should not fall into this trap, unless they're in the tank with the "globalist, big/expanding government with no limits, open borders, unlimited spending camp". In fact the extreme right are the war mongers that insist to keep a proxy war going on Ukraine, and applauding the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people "until the last Ukrainian". In that sense Poland is guilty, unfortunately as they're among the most ardent pushers of the conflict. In a stark reversal over the years, the Greens coalition in Germany are of this persuasion! Go figure! Hungary, and Slovakia does not buy into that narrative, and is suing for peace, while being shunned by the rest of the EU members, so much so, they want to throw Orban out of the rotating EU council presidency for it. Argentina's Milei wants small gov't, to release the power of entrepreneurialism long ago stifled by bankrupting socialist policies, lower taxes, and balanced budgets, so the country does not repeatedly sink into failed state status. (France's Le Pen is another example. Other than immigration, all her social policies are on the left, yet they demonize her as "Far Right". Just ridiculous.) Again that is hardly "extreme right" to want to save your country from hyperinflation. The further you sink the harder the medicine.

@@ladyjade6446 "It appears that my earlier response was either removed, or didn't register. The countries you name are hardly "far right". That label is now used to discredit, defame, demonize political policies that would advocate balanced budgets, fiscal restraint, remove barriers to entrepreneurialism, remove red tape, in short unleash societal productivity. Those that launch these epithets also can't stand sovereign nations that insist on representing their popular will, like keeping their borders secure, limiting economic migrants to their country, and the right to exercise the tenets of their own constitution, for example shamelessly stating to the world, that they are a "Christian nation with Christian values, and that they reserve the right to live their lives consistent with those principles, and run their schools according to those values. Denying EU demands to implement indoctrination NGO's within their territory which would otherwise advocate, and propagandize, push gender ideology on their youth, along with gender transition mechanisms. Hence this traditional "left, right" paradigm is completely broken, whose only modern application is in demonizing political opponents. Look at Marine Le Pen as an example. She's considered "far right" when in fact her social policies are largely socialistic. What the globalists don't like about her is that she wants to reform France's immigration system, hence they call her "extreme right wing" political party. To add more more complexity to illustrate how tenuous this categorization is, Poland affirms the aforementioned, yet is war mongering, while Hungary is advocating for peace, plus the aforementioned principles!!! War party is usually a far right principle, and always has been, and it. is the left that is advocating for WW3 with Russia.
