1) Hate.

Presumably his hatred of
- Gays
- Feminists
- Muslims
- welfare recipients
- Single Mothers
- Blacks
- Asians
- Aboriginals
- Refugees

meant that he had no choice but to be Right Wing

There is no one as full of hatred as a Rightwinger

Bingo!

Virtue signalling and selective outrage at No 8 and 9:
8.) It's the thought that counts
9) Selective Outrage

"I never witnessed significant leftist outrage over clitoredectomy, child marriage, honor killing, sharia-inspired rape laws, stoning, or acid attacks. Nothing. Zip. Crickets.

It's all virtue signalling and they don't give a rat's arse about anyone. At least conservatives are honest in who they like and dislike. Leftists on the other hand just lie.

Funny position considering the rights record on hypocrisy.

The right are not particularly honest about anything.

Indeed. Nobody can actually believe in a Leftist manifesto. They know we know they know they are lying.
Hence the hate.

Actually not true.

At every street rally and demonstration it's the Leftwing counter-demonstrators who are the most violent and who the Riot Police have most trouble with.

It's Leftwingers who constantly break into the back of university halls to scream and struggle with the security personnel where someone not of the Left is giving a talk.

It was those of the Left who were loudly abusing audience members attending Pauline Hanson's Town Hall appearances.

It was those of the Left who threw blood at our returning soldiers from Vietnam.

They don't even get that most of it applies more to them than the Left.

2 & 3) It doesn't work. Other approaches work better.

1) Hate.
