    The NPC versions “mocks leftists as expressionless in appearance and bot-like in behaviour”, says far-right website Breitbart News
    Breitbart is a hyperbolic tabloid of quite dubious quality but "far right"? They lampoon themselves.

      The NPC meme fits neatly into this narrative and offers Trump’s online supporters an easy shorthand way to paint liberals as humorless prudes” while they present themselves “in the language of freethinking rationality”, says Roose.

      There is some humour in here - the people who make the NPC's are presenting themselves as freethinking rationalist

      Where as the ones who did not have the gumption to make up something like NPC's are now well seemingly jealous of those that did.

        Anything to the right of Stalin is far right these days.

        Read this in the Independent earlier:

        Catherine Blaiklock, who is standing on behalf of the far-right, Eurosceptic party in Great Yarmouth, has said she wants to be the “new face” of Ukip.

          Well given that UKIP have been courting the DFLA and Tommy Robinson recently I think it's probably a reasonably accurate label.

            Given that the Tories are just Blair II, if you're a genuine conservative then there's nowhere else to go. Anything right of centre is far right these days.
