Yes, I abhor racist swine. I personally don't think you are racist yet for all it's worth, but from my observations, the further right/conspiratorial you go, the more racist you become. It's inevitable.
The further right you are the more you are interested in hierarchy. It's the defining factor for left vs right politics.
So furthest left believes in no hierarchy, where everything is flat and classless, and society is made worse by introducing hierarchies. Liberals (center) believe hierarchy should arise naturally through voluntary interaction, if it exists at all. Conservatives believe hierarchies are ingrained in our genetics, and any attempt to change that results in society being worse. Then you go really really far right wing and you believe that hierarchies are based on genetics and the inferior genetics should be eliminated.
The libertarian/authoritarian part of the spectrum is how hierarchy is enforced. Libertarians believe centralized government should not enforce hierarchy or interfere with it. Authoritarians believe government should actively suppress hierarchy (left) or actively enforce it (right). Which is why fascism is an authoritarian ideology.
This is my new favorite thing to talk about.
