Didnt see any citation that confirms inclusion for Radical right... DN ( talk) 22:50, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
An editor removed a mention in the lead that some in the U.S. radical right lean toward white supremacy with the comment, "Where is the "reliable source" reference for the "white supremacy" thingy then? Racial supremacy makes not left or right. Many far-leftists (BLM) are black nationalists, as are far-rightists (ADOS). White nationalists too (Richard Spencer became far-left over the years, and David Duke far-right." [1]
The reliable source used to support the statement is footnote number 1 (Potok). The discussion of the connection appears on pp. 54, 56-57). [2]
I don't understand the claim that Richard Spencer became far left over the years. He's still a leader of the alt-right.
In an earlier comment, the editor said, "Racial supremacy doesn't make one radical left or right. Richard Spencer and Louis Farrakhan are both centrists." [3] But the groups they lead are considered far right in reliable sources.
Racism exists across the political spectrum. But it's only the extreme right that incorporates it into its ideology. TFD ( talk) 10:21, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ Darknipples about the trump populism paragraph can you help explain the conclusion? I find it hard to read, and its conclusions vague. Tonymetz 💬 19:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
historians have understimatedis a WP:weasel word . we should be more discrete and concrete in our writing.
some historians overestimateis vague and hard to comprehend because it's effectively a double negative. Tonymetz 💬 21:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
"Take a break from wikisms and put yourself in the reader's shoes"
i'm sorry about that I didn't mean offense. thanks for helping to work to improve clarity with the sample.
