    Reform supporters for the most part aren’t fans of thinking.

    Like GOP in the US, RN in France, AfD in Germany, etc. Right wingers everywhere love the stupid. Lack of education and understanding is the best fertilizer for fascism.

      It’s more an Authoritarian thing than a Right thing, it’s just that currently Auth-Right is what the Epstein class are pushing.

      The Khmer Rouge were as hard left as it gets, and the Cambodian genocide was almost entirely fuelled by the notion that educated city folk weren’t true Khmer.

        Probably a wise angle to take. You don’t have to be an open-borders advocating, staunch socialist to be against authoritarianism. Quite a significant straw man, even if there’s visible correlation in modern times.
