'Far Right' seems to mean freedom, even over democracy. 'Far Left' seems to mean democracy, even over freedom. We seem to have forgotten that they are compatible.

“Far right” now means anything that disagrees with the $currentThing.

Asking about vaccine efficacy = far right.

Questioning if treating minorities like a quota is ethical = far right.

Asking why children are watching grown men strip naked = far right.

Asking why the US is sending $40B into a proxy war = far right.

The list goes on. Basically everything is far right now.

you evidently didn’t read the article and are tediously repeating (garbage, uncurious talking point) criticisms unrelated to its content based on things other people you’ve encountered may have said

I’m responding to a comment on this thread, not sure why the hostility.

Far left and liberals are not democratic allies, the left includes anarchists who would also disagree with “democracy over freedom”, liberal democracy and leftism aren’t compatible, and your definition of freedom is a peculiar contested one (you might be interested in Maggie Nelson’s recent exploration of what freedom in America means, “On Freedom”). I’m not sure where you’re getting your poetic ideas.

Basically people of EU get sick of the bureaucratic politicians bringing them more immigration, less traditions and suicidal industrial policy.
