WHAT IS FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISM?
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sin...habilitation-deradicalise-youth-focus-5007011
In its annual terrorism threat assessment, Singapore's Internal Security Department (ISD) described far-right extremism as a fast-evolving security threat in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia and in Europe.
It encompasses a wide range of beliefs that are often exclusivist - seeing other beliefs as incorrect or invalid - and which advocates violence as a way to safeguard ethnic purity or achieve political objectives.
The ISD report noted far-extremism as often conflated with white supremacy, but in fact also containing broader messages of ethno-religious chauvinism or superiority, nationalism and nativism.
