Here's a liberal guy Dave Rubin, who a couple of years ago would have called himself 'on the left', but now he constantly finds himself criticising the left. I'm guessing this is the kind of person you'd refer to as far-right, because of some of his opinions. He's a gay guy by the way and is married to another guy.

The left is no longer Liberal
Interesting video Alf and no, I certainly don't think he's far right... anything but! I do in fact agree with a lot of what he's suggesting about the left (though the American Left and the British Left are uniquely different) but then so is Classical and Modern Liberalism.

Once or twice he crosses a line into Moderate Libertarianism. Nothing wrong with that but when it comes to the vote, because Liberal/Libertarianism ideologies are so varied and hugely individual, they will always come over as a little vague.
