Where there are perhaps five or six primary core "conventions" of belief on the right, there are exponetially more such core "conventions" on the left. Based on media coverage I asked Grok this question :

These rankings prioritize issues with the most mentions in 2024-2025 media (e.g., via NPR's election series and CSIS extremism trackers), often in contexts of violence or protests. Left-wing extremism accounts for ~10-15% of incidents but <5% of fatalities, per data.5 Core Themes or Issues of the Extreme Right Wing in American PoliticsBased on analyses from sources like the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Wikipedia's overviews of far-right ideologies, and academic studies on right-wing extremism, the extreme right wing in America—encompassing groups like white supremacists, militias, and ultranationalists—centers on a limited set of interconnected themes. These are not mainstream conservative positions but radical ones often tied to violence or anti-democratic rhetoric. Here's a synthesis of the top 5 core themes:Ultranationalism and Anti-Immigration: Extreme emphasis on American exceptionalism, viewing immigrants (especially non-white or Muslim) as existential threats to national identity and resources.

This includes calls for mass deportations, border militarization, and "nativism" that prioritizes white, Christian citizens.
Racism and White Supremacy: Promotion of racial hierarchies, with explicit hatred toward Black, Jewish, Latino, and Asian communities. Manifests in "great replacement" theories, neo-Nazi symbolism, and support for segregation or ethnic cleansing.
Anti-Government Extremism: Rejection of federal authority as "tyrannical," favoring state or local sovereignty, or outright anarchy. Includes militia movements, sovereign citizen ideologies, and plots against institutions like the FBI or IRS.
Authoritarianism and Strongman Rule: Advocacy for a powerful, centralized state under a charismatic leader to enforce "law and order," often eroding democratic norms like elections or minority rights. This includes support for coups or "stolen election" narratives.
Opposition to LGBTQ+ Rights and Gender Roles: Deep-seated misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, viewing progressive gender policies as societal decay. Tied to "incel" culture, anti-abortion extremism, and efforts to ban transgender participation in sports or education.
These themes overlap significantly and have driven most domestic terrorist incidents since 1994, per CSIS https://t.co/X5MUrVajTx +2Top 25 Extreme Left-Wing Issues Ranked by Media CoverageRanking "extreme" left-wing issues (e.g., those associated with anarchists, anti-capitalists, or far-left activists like Antifa) by media coverage is challenging, as U.S. media often frames them through the lens of violence, protests, or policy debates rather than explicit rankings. Drawing from 2024-2025 coverage in outlets like NPR, CSIS reports, The Atlantic, and Pew Research—focusing on frequency of mentions in stories about extremism, protests, and policy extremism—I've ranked the top 25 based on relative prominence (e.g., Google News trends, article counts on "far-left extremism" tied to topics). Mainstream media (e.g., CNN, NYT) covers these more as critiques or conflict stories than endorsements, with spikes around events like protests or elections. Coverage is lower overall than for right-wing issues, per CSIS, but has risen post-2016 due to https://t.co/Rv00avyIg9 +4RankIssueDescriptionKey Media Coverage Context (2024-2025)1Anti-Capitalism and Wealth RedistributionDemands for seizing corporate assets, universal basic income, or abolishing billionaires as "class enemies."Highest coverage in election-year stories on inequality (e.g., Occupy-style protests, Bernie Sanders-inspired policies).2Defunding/Defending Police and Prison AbolitionCalls to dismantle law enforcement, redirect funds to social services, or end mass incarceration as "state violence."Spiked during 2024 BLM anniversary protests and responses to police shootings.3Palestinian Solidarity and Anti-ZionismExtreme anti-Israel rhetoric, including BDS boycotts or labeling Israel an "apartheid state," sometimes veering into antisemitism accusations.Massive coverage amid 2024 Gaza war protests on campuses and street actions.4Climate Justice and Eco-ExtremismDisruptive actions like blocking pipelines or "degrowth" economies to combat "corporate ecocide."Featured in COP29 coverage and Just Stop Oil-style U.S. blockades.5Anti-Fascism (Antifa) and Direct ActionVigilante opposition to perceived fascists, including doxxing or street confrontations.Tied to 2024 election violence reports, e.g., clashes at Trump rallies.6Open Borders and Abolishing ICEDemands to eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement, decriminalize border crossings.Covered in immigration reform debates and 2025 border policy shifts.7Transgender Rights and Gender AbolitionPushing for unrestricted gender-affirming care, ending binary norms, or "queer liberation" from capitalism.High in culture war stories, e.g., bathroom bans and sports inclusion fights.8Reparations for Slavery and Indigenous Land BackForcing asset transfers to Black or Native communities as restitution for historical theft.Discussed in 2024 Juneteenth events and congressional hearings.9Universal Single-Payer Healthcare"Medicare for All" as a right, with critiques of private insurance as profiteering.Prominent in midterms health policy coverage.10Free College and Student Debt ForgivenessCanceling all debt, making education tuition-free, framing it as anti-capitalist reparations.Biden-era policy extensions and campus protests.11Gun Control and DisarmamentBans on all firearms, linking ownership to "white supremacy" or imperialism.Rose after 2024 mass shootings and NRA clashes.12Anti-War and U.S. Imperialism CritiqueProtests against U.S. military aid (e.g., to Ukraine/Israel), calling for base closures worldwide.Covered in foreign policy segments on global conflicts.13Workers' Rights and Union MilitancyStrikes, worker takeovers of factories, or "general strikes" against "exploitative bosses."2024 labor wave (e.g., UAW, Amazon) got extensive play.14Animal Rights and Vegan ExtremismDirect actions like lab raids or meat industry sabotage as "species liberation."Featured in PETA controversies and farm bill debates.15Decolonization and Anti-ColonialismRemoving "colonial" statues, renaming institutions, or land returns to tribes.Campus culture wars and 2024 historical reckoning stories.16Anarchism and Mutual Aid NetworksRejecting all state hierarchy, building community alternatives to government services.Coverage in disaster response critiques (e.g., post-hurricane aid).17Anti-Natalism and Population ControlLinking overpopulation to climate/racism, discouraging births in "privileged" groups.Niche but covered in eco-feminist debates.18Digital Privacy and Anti-SurveillanceHacking government databases or "cypherpunk" resistance to tech oligarchs.Tied to 2025 data privacy laws and Snowden follow-ups.19Disability Justice and Ableism AbolitionDismantling "eugenics" in medicine, demanding universal accessibility as anti-capitalist.Gained traction in healthcare equity stories.20Anti-Nuclear and Energy Transition ExtremismSabotage of nuclear plants or fossil fuels in favor of immediate "just transition."Protests at energy summits and climate bill fights.21Queer and Sex Worker RightsLegalizing all sex work, ending "carceral feminism" that polices bodies.Debated in #MeToo evolutions and labor rights.22Anti-Militarism on CampusesROTC bans, divestment from defense contractors as "war profiteering."2024 university protests against military recruitment.23Food Sovereignty and Anti-GMOCommunity farms rejecting corporate ag, labeling GMOs as "biopiracy."Covered in farm policy and urban gardening trends.24Mental Health DecriminalizationEnding psychiatric institutionalization as "state control," favoring community care.Rose with 2025 homelessness crisis reporting.25Anti-Tech and Luddite ResistanceSmashing AI/automation as job-killers, promoting "low-tech" societies.Emerging in 2025 AI ethics debates and job loss fears.

Slogan:

So sluagh-ghairm literally meant "battle cry" or "war cry" – the distinctive shout or phrase used by Scottish Highland clans to rally their warriors, identify themselves on the battlefield, and intimidate enemies. The word slogan comes from Scottish Gaelic: sluagh-ghairm (pronounced roughly like "sloo-uh-ghairm").sluagh = army, host, or people (related to the English word "slew" meaning a large number)
ghairm = cry, call, or shout (from the verb meaning "to call" or "to cry out")

Fed Reserve just put $29.4 Billion into the U.S. Banking System through overnight repos. This amount surpasses even the peak of the Dot Com Bubble - anyone want to take a shot at what this says about the current strength of the US economy ?
