Canadian YouTuber and CEO of the far-right Tenet Media Lauren Chen appeared before a parliamentary national security committee to discuss the allegations she took money from Russian state media.

Despite having parliamentary privilege extended to her for the appearance in front of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, she refused to respond to questions asked by the committee.

Chen and Tenet Media are at the center of an investigation into Russian nationals Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afansyeva, alleging violations of the US Foreign Agents Registration Act, and conspiracy to launder almost $10 million through payments to Tenet Media.

[…]

Founded by Canadian Chen and Tenet’s president Liam Donovan, Tenet Media is home to some of the largest conservative political commentators on YouTube. Among its roster are big names in digital content including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson.

[…]

Chen developed her brand much like another member of the Tenet roster, Lauren Southern, by creating videos that reinforced popular arguments against left-leaning or progressive politics. Chen often cast her opponents as individuals who hated traditional beauty standards or were hostile toward traditional concepts of femininity. She typically lambasts transgender people for either propagating and/or being victimized by “gender ideology.”

    I have searched for the philosophy behind such a label but terms like “far right” seem only exist as a pejorative by conformists for superficial reasons.

    "Far-right politics, often termed right-wing extremism, encompasses a range of ideologies that are typically marked by radical conservatism, authoritarianism, ultra-nationalism, and nativism.[1] This political spectrum situates itself on the far end of the right, distinguished from more mainstream right-wing ideologies by its opposition to liberal democratic norms and emphasis on exclusivist views. Far-right ideologies have historically included fascism, Nazism, and Falangism, while contemporary manifestations also incorporate neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, white supremacism, and various other movements characterized by chauvinism, xenophobia, and theocratic or reactionary beliefs.

    You didn’t search very hard.

    Calling things like Fascism and white supremacy “superficial reasons” to label someone “far right” speaks volumes about you.

    Go preach your bull shit elsewhere.

      What original sources for literature have you read and historial documents to people in their own original words?

      100% of every argument you said furthers the evidence that the term “far right” is strictly a leftist perjorative from highly emotional people and does not exist

          You need to develop self restraint and recognize that your world view must hold up to scrutiny otherwise your belief is a lie if you don’t allow rebuke and correction.

                Pointing out inconsistencies, fallacies, and weaknesses ain’t a troll.

                Pretty funny that you believe you did any of that. Not shocking that you default to the standard troll moves, pretty lazy if you ask me, but funny regardless.
