You believe in promoting social equality, inclusivity, and tolerance to counteract extremist ideologies and create a more harmonious society.
The "Anti-Far-Right" political ideology is a stance that opposes the principles and policies of the far-right political spectrum. It is not a singular, unified ideology but rather a broad range of political beliefs and movements that actively resist the far-right's ideologies. The far-right political spectrum typically includes ideologies such as ultra-nationalism, xenophobia, racism, religious fundamentalism, and extreme conservatism. Therefore, the Anti-Far-Right ideology is characterized by its opposition to these principles, advocating for values such as multiculturalism,…

Can understanding and empathy be an effective tool against far-right extremism, or is a more direct form of opposition required?
I believe that understanding and empathy is more effective against those who are more open to a healthy dialogue, despite their beliefs. However, those who have shown that they have no desire to change their world views and are far too set in their ways, require more direct opposition. It is a waste of time and energy to engage with such individuals in any other way.
I think just understanding and learning the opinions of all sides would help deal with extremism more than just opposing it.
@9H7WJKQRepublican6mos6MO
I think that all kinds of extremism are problematic because these people are too rooted in their ideas beyond even hearing another perspective. But, also I think everyone has a right to believe what they want too as long as it is not causing any harm and breaking laws. So, just arrest them when they do get around to breaking some laws at a rally for their cause.
@9H7QP5G6mos6MO
Understanding and empathy mean seemingly different things to differnt people. I think they are a great start to understanding anyone that differs from yourself, but if you are trying to change hearts and minds it takes patience and time, not judgment and ridicule.

How do personal experiences with friends from different backgrounds influence your thoughts on diversity and tolerance?
@9KN99XB2mos2MO
I know a Columbian guy named Jero and he's pretty cool so I like diversity in this country.
@9KNFNW22mos2MO
This guy spelt Colombia with a U, but it shows new culture adaptation for the country, and lots of fun.
@9KNDYTVPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
Jero might be a cool guy but he does not represent all minorities, however one should go into every interaction with an open mind and not base their whole opinion off of one bad interaction
It affects it extremely i believe you are more likely to understand everyone pov
@9KV3C97Republican 2mos2MO
Racism is bred by the fear of the unknown and what people in power want you to believe through the use of intentional stories produced by the media. These people want to keep you scared and fearful and divided - the Democrats are historically great at this.
@9KN939Q2mos2MO
I don't really know how to deter my mind and think about it.
@9KN94Z82mos2MO
It influences a lot because I see other perspectives and It affects on my opinion.

How might your favorite hobby or interest serve as a common ground to unite people of differing views?
@9KY7RFY2mos2MO
your favorite interest could be many peoples interest and you could make new friends by having a common interest.
@9KY2CRS2mos2MO
As an avid reader and literature enthusiast, I believe that books and storytelling can serve as a powerful common ground to unite people of differing views, including those on the topic of being anti-far-right. Regardless of political beliefs, individuals can find commonality and connection through shared experiences of reading and discussing literature.
@9KY237G2mos2MO
Raising livestock can help people to see different aspects of life, and how different lifestyles aren't bad just because they're different.
@9KXZMKG2mos2MO
I think music can change and unite people with different views, everyone listens to music
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you personally define the term 'far-right,' and what feelings or images does it evoke for you?
@9H9JHCM6mos6MO
Far-right seems a bit racist/white-supremacism/elitist. It seems to mostly benefit rich white men. The image it provokes is Donald Trump.
@9H6CHF5Libertarian6mos6MO
I think democrats use the term far right inappropriately to describe normal things conservatives believe to demonize them, and this takes away from actual far right Ideology we might not associate with. Half of the country voted for Trump yet they're all far right
I'd define it as one who believes in conservative values and is likely Republican. The image that this evokes is Donald J. Trump.
@9H9JKJ56mos6MO
Far right very conservative and I don’t believe their stances are right you need some structure and people need to have equal human rights
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If you were to write a story about unity, what would be the central message to challenge division?
I think that the anti far right that the central message to challenge divison because they should have all right of civil rights
@9KWNHT62mos2MO
To come together as a whole country and figure out what is best for America.
@9KWNDLVConstitution2mos2MO
To create unity there has to be division its just how the world works.

What role do you think education plays in preventing the spread of extremist ideologies?
@9H4NR2Z6mos6MO
they put more restrictions on things the kids can do.
@9H4NQ3CRepublican6mos6MO
School plays a massive role in the spread of extremist ideas
@9H4NN8H6mos6MO
Less propaganda from all sides because now people don't trust media period.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
When have you felt proudest of your community's response to far-right messages or actions?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How should we address the spread of disinformation, which often supports far-right ideologies?
@9HJYXJT5mos5MO
The spread of the far-right has only happened so quickly do to two major factors. One, a large amount of false information and attacks on information that later proves to be true. Two, the increase in outrage media or clickbait to pit both sides of the political aisle against each other with a bias to supporting the left.
@9HJYQ855mos5MO
Ideally, a better education for all would be beneficial. This would include standard schooling improvements and internet-based precautions. This wouldn’t necessarily eradicate all misinformation, but may improve our ability to initiate civil discussions with the intent to learn more instead of justifying our views.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What do you believe motivates individuals to oppose the far-right, and can you relate to any of these motivations?
@9HWCYZ45mos5MO
My stance on this question is that it's their personal beliefs or what they grew up as a kid and were taught.
@9HWF3SMLibertarian5mos5MO
The thing that motivates individuals to oppose the far-right is concerns on personal rights being taken too far, causing dangerous situations to happen.
@9HXH5S24mos4MO
Personal rights when it comes to guns or personal weapons can harm other individuals therefore it should be limited to protect other people's right to life.
@9HX9TY64mos4MO
I think using the bible as a way to make everyone live their life and defend bigotry and disgusting actions is where it makes me feel like they take it too far because not everyone is religious
@9HWF92G5mos5MO
maybe they think that the lgbtq+ has gone too far and the public school system has gone too far
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Is it possible to empathize with someone's personal struggles without condoning their far-right views?
@9HXRRZ64mos4MO
I suppose that you could but it is hard when they want to remove important rights from me like marriage or my right to vote.
@9HXRRWSProgressive4mos4MO
It is very possible to empathize with them, but condoning their behaviors and beliefs is out of the question, especially since some insist on harming other's well-being
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Have you seen far-right ideology manifest in unexpected places, and how did that make you feel?
@9J5NY994mos4MO
I have seen stuff that would be seen as far right in places I didn't expect. There were time where I agreed with it and there's times I didn't I really depends on what they say.
@9J5NSXB4mos4MO
Yes I have and it is scary seeing extremists throughout our country, leading towards insurrections and certain racist activities with the return of the KKK.
