For woke activists, all persons and opinions that justify ideologies of inequality are considered right-wing extremist (see Antifascism).
In this narrative, right-wing extremism is defined systemically in a similar way to racism. Woke activists use the accusation in an unbounded way from the designation for militaristic movements that propagate a cultural or ethnic superiority of their own group: even those who decisively reject such groups but hold anti-woke positions can be denounced as right-wing extremists or fascists.
Strategically, guilt by association is often argued: anyone who shares overlaps with the demands of right-wing extremist groups is considered at least right-wing populist. Since right-wing extremists also stand against uncontrolled immigration, all advocates of restrictive migration are considered at least right-wing populist.
An example of the unbounded use of the term right-wing extremism in science is the so-called “centre studies”, which, with unclean methods, want to prove an increase in right-wing extremist attitudes.382
Woke activists like to claim of themselves that they are the decisive bulwark against fascism or populism.383
In reality, they want to legitimise their own agenda as the only alternative (see Negotiations). Democracy is portrayed by them as a choice between far-left and moderate-left positions, while conservative and liberal viewpoints are presented as extreme or anti-democratic.
