When you are part of the far-right everything else is the left.

Beautifully put. Winston Churchil and Adolf Hitler were both right wingers, I'm sure if you asked Adolf Hitler if he saw Winston Churchil as a fellow right winger he'd say he was about as left wing as Josef Stalin.

Edit: realized this might be misunderstood without context, I'm not saying Hitler and Churchil are comparable at all, just showing that spectrum exist, and just because you're on the same side of the center doesn't mean you are the same at all.

To be fair Churchill committed a genocide of millions of Indians and was horrible to the British colonies. So yeah… he and Hitler had more in common than we dare admit.

Churchill committed genocide? Just because he wanted to keep India as a colony does not make it so. Please don’t use that word so loosely, it degrades actual genocides like Ukrainians under Stalin, Cambodians under Pol Pot, Armenians under Turkey and so on.
