I don't think you should call people loonies when you used to go on about "pizzagate"

[General Apathy]

Grampa Apathy was the one who claimed "small government" was a hallmark of the right wing. Which is not true at all, because one of the platforms of the right-wing governments and parties is control over women and their reproductive rights, and strict limits on religious liberty, and strict limits on the rights of LGBT people. But I guess it does not apply when the right-wing government is based on Muslim sharia law and not Christian sharia law.

More toxic bullshit assertions without substance. I challenge your claim that Iran is a RW government.

Where exactly do you get this:

one of the platforms of the right-wing governments and parties is control over women and their reproductive rights, and strict limits on religious liberty, and strict limits on the rights of LGBT people.

or is it a case of "RW means whatever I want it to mean" for you?

Good article:

Why do Democrats so hate black Americans?

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/09/why_do_democrats_so_hate_black_americans_.html

identifies some of the pretzel logic the likes of which is often displayed here.

I suppose we could ask Leidos' Code of Conduct whether your performance on this thread is offensive or not, eh?
I'm sure they'd support the views expressed by one of their employees if you feel you've acted decently, wouldn't you say?

Holy shit guys, Grampa Apathy is seriously claiming that the Iranian government (you know, the one that brought back mandatory head coverings and mandatory religious law) is not right-wing. What a dumbass.

I suspect they would find that what I post as an individual as opposed to what folks here think I've posted, want to believe I've posted, or believe what others have claimed I've posted are two very different things.

Being considered a racist because Mac stated I'd never consider sleeping with a woman of color does not make me a racist.
Claiming that ANTIFA is an alt-left group looking to violently advance their position as opposed to "protecting the counter protesters" like so many here claim does not make me a Nazi supporter or a member of the alt-right.

and so on...

I suppose you might consider whether taking discussions here elsewhere since you can't carry on an intelligent discussion is cowardly or not, eh?

The question remains, how do you define "right-wing" and is that the only / correct definition.

The world stubbornly refuses to conform to your right wing/left wing linear polarity.
Neither Hitler nor Stalin fit on that convenient line. But some are so tied up in that theory that they redefine "right" and "left" to fit Hitler and Stalin. In reality they were more alike than you wish to admit.
Iran is "right"?
Ok. Where do you fit Robert Mugabe?
The D&D double axis chart doesn't fit either. Is Iran Lawful Evil? Does it matter?
If Iran is far right, what is North Korea? Proudly Communist which should make them far left. Yet the two are firm allies.
Unless you have a religious ideological attachment to "left/right" I would abandon it. It can get inconvenient.

OFM, you are better than that. Don't play Grampa Apathy's game

[General Apathy]

And you are ignoring the fact that you are lumping together things that do not go together. The RW here in the US is not comparable to the RW in Europe which is not comparable to fundamentalist Islamic republics.
