Correction: National Review is not “the far right”. The fact that it continues to promote conservative ideas that would have been considered moderately right just a couple of decades ago is merely proof of how far Left the goalposts have been moved by the cultural and political elites – especially academia and the popular media – in the United States.
Donald Trump is no conservative, and never has been, but he has hijacked the far right who now see him as a martyr. Note that National Review has had a consistent and outspoken policy of distancing itself from Trump.
Curious though that while Trump has become more right-wing over time, National Review has drifted further and further to the left.

I don’t understand any of this and I’m happy about it.
I still can’t understand how it’s ok to send billions to a East European country that openly flaunts symbols like this, but a random, obviously false flag next to the truckers strike becomes a massive deal.
Geez Samir. My blood pressure just shot through the roof. The Nazi garbage was disgusting. The trucker protestors were truly diverse, every race, religion and creed in the country.

Having watched it, I can say the real crime was not the Sonnenrad, but the video itself. What a piece of crap.

“these people are trying to appeal to Nazis” in the hope that they pick up the 300 or so N*z*s who vote in the US?

Two comments on this were canceled by the Spectator World. I proposed they should publish a contemporary photo of this not very well known symbol, and another pointed out that the Guardian was very prone to claim to have uncovered Nazi symbols that let’s say were not well known. Yet oddly enough, actual SS runes as insignias of Battalions in a country that I will not name are ignored or explained away, one journo arguing that the SS rune in question just refers to a little village in Germany..

To the point of depleted uranium and cluster bombs, the United Kingdom and the United States are backing to the hilt people who broadly display the Sonnenrad.

Not all conservatives are nazis but all nazis are conservatives.
National Socialism = Socialism in one country. So if a Socialist is in a Country (a State as defined by UN Socialists) they are nazis in the German idiom. If they are in international airspace or waters i guess they are just hateful racists dirtbags. Interstingly the Sun Wheel is a tattoo widespread in heavy metal and rock music – aside from a few Norwegian outliers no-one with this ink that i know of would identify as an NSDAP supporter. Though some clearly support labour or the scots nats which is telling!
Naziism wasn’t contained within one country (unless you redefine ‘country’ to mean something like ‘Volk’ and overlook national borders between Germany, Austria, parts of Poland, and parts of Czechoslovakia).

“Staatsprasident Bolz [the conservative state president of Württemberg] says that Christianity and the Catholic faith are threatened by us. And to that charge I can answer: In the first place it is Christians and not international atheists who now stand at the head of Germany. I do not merely talk of Christianity, no, I also profess that I will never ally myself with the parties which destroy Christianity.
If many wish today to take threatened Christianity under their protection, where, I would ask, was Christianity for them in these fourteen years when they went arm in arm with atheism? No, never and at no time was greater internal damage done to Christianity than in these fourteen years when a party [i.e. the catholic Zentrum party], theoretically Christian, sat with those who denied God in one and the same Government.” – Hitler in February 1933 just weeks before taking power and throwing Bolz and other conservatives into camps.
The Nazis hated conservatives almost as much as they did Marxists. While they were forced into an alliance with some conservatives, their rhetoric was always furiously anti-bourgeoisie.
You seem very comfortable throwing around labels. Unfortunately, they don’t really add much to discussion and make you appear aggressive and close-minded.

I think it’s safe to say The National Review is anti-Trump.

…and you can imagine what the (archconservative) Prussian aristocracy thought of an Austrian peasant. The disdain worked in both directions.
