#EDUUKQueenMaryUniversityOfLondonTimBale "'Hard right' is a neologism that, unless I'm missing something, has little or no currency whatsoever among academic experts. Those experts like to call things exactly what they are - namely (following Cas Mudde) far right (the umbrella term) or one of its two variants: extreme right or (populist) radical right.
In their defence, journalists will talk about language evolving to cover new phenomena. This argument, however, seems to ignore the fact that both the extreme and populist radical-right variants of the far right have been around for decades. If this is the case, then why is it only recently that the new term has crept into media output?
Journalists have even suggested that 'populist radical right' is just too complex a term for their readers to understand. Why use three words when two will do? This is understandable in a headline, perhaps, but in an 800-word report or op-ed? I don't think so.
In reality, 'hard right' is less an evolution than a euphemism, effectively sanitising and normalising what it purports to describe. And the recent increase in its use doesn't seem to correlate with any deradicalisation among the parties that journalists are referring to. Instead, it correlates with growth in those parties' electoral support and their proximity to or entry into government. This all suggests that what's driving journalists' use of 'hard right' is their fear of losing access to precious sources were they to call it what it actually is. Or, given that Reform UK (successfully) threatened the BBC with legal action if it were to label the party 'far right', maybe journalists fear an even worse fate than that." https://theloop.ecpr.eu/why-we-need-to-halt-hard-right-in-its-tracks/

HERE people call them 'confused people' if they are tawny or dark colored. That 'young person' in the USA will be unlucky enough to be white."

@CarrieGonsalves [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: @DailyMailUK I have read this a few times and on each reading some new #woke horror dawns upon me. Only #Viz could draw it. At the moment I am wondering if #MillieTant transitioned circa 2005? Is #BootFace also a bloke? [URL redacted]
@SimoneAgoncillo [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [06]: @benshapiro I'll do her one better. Read Charles Murray's "Coming Apart". Empirical evidence of the problem is made quite clear in his treatise. We're being ruled by a small group of which Oprah is a proud member. #woke is NOT the same as awake. #openminded first, then educated always works. [URL redacted]
