To be fair, it is dishonest of Fox News to refer to Hassan Piker as "far left." The simple truth is that he lies pretty much in the accepted middle of the left in America. To be honest though, I'm not even sure if antifa is considered far left anymore. I think for that moniker to stick they probably have to employ high explosives routinely in their reasoned disagreements and debates with people they hate, loath, despise and would like to exterminate. They might view the Red Brigades or the Cultural Revolution's Red Guards as Far Left.
The amusing thing is that we are sliding inevitably to the right in the usual simple reaction of the young to the overbearing idiocy of their parent's generation. Admittedly, the left don't have a lot of kids of their own but the schools created by our generation produced a torrent of blinkered stupid philistines who hate the West. The kids today though can look out of their burkas and basements and see very clearly that they want no part of the rest of the world. They may decide to take a round turn on America and fix it.
I believe I've mentioned elsewhere that the truly dangerous people are the ones who set out to "fix things."

The pendulum swings. Always has, always will. It the damage and destruction that happens as part of that swing that we see most clearly.
I think we are coming out of a time that is, for the first time since the middle ages a period when people can look back and say to themselves, they had it better than we do and they are correct. There is a course correction in the works and the future looks considerably darker than the past in spite of the atomic era. Onslaughts of barbarian hordes wreak a special kind of havoc and destruction that persists and wipes away much of civilization each time they come along.
