Apparently the higher the incidence of extreme or divisive rhetoric the further the relative rightness…
The definition of extreme and divisive rhetoric is however entirely subjective and it is numerically unquantifiable by sensible people.
On a serious note and as an observation the ‘far right politicians’ seem to come from outside politics.. they rarely ‘grow more extreme’ while in politics… but I could be talking out of my arse.
Extreme and divisive are not the same. Most if not all important issues are divisive. Divisive is an excuse to shut down debate and suppress right wing views

I think you're correct that "far-right" really isn't about political philosophy. It seems to be more about how much the establishment dislikes someone.

Is the climate agenda far left or science
reply
The climate agenda is not science. Climate science is science.

I agree, but as a highly politicized issue that is largely funded by politicians, there's relatively little climate science.
I've written about the struggles and experiences I've had as someone who occasionally does work related to climate change and has a background in climate science. It is much easier to publish work that comes to the "right conclusions" and much more difficult to get research approved that may counter the narrative.
I'd say it's pretty fair to call most of what the public thinks of as "climate science" leftwing propaganda.

Milei, Trump, Le Pen, PVV in Netherlands 🇳🇱, the right wing populist in Brazil, etc
