If you're confused by why The Guardian doesn't seem to know how to cover the far right, lemme tell ya something I learned not long ago.

In 2020 two academics published a paper looking at how The Guardian has been mainstreaming the Far Right. At the core there is one problem (this is my simplification): the conflation of Far Right concerns with 'the people'. By default whatever the Far Right says has be taken more seriously than anything even left of center (let alone further left) which is also why the Guardian often uses 'populism' and 'the far right' interchangeably.
