And my response was literally:

"I would say the current inflation/affordability crisis is at least partly caused by the increase in energy prices, which is definitely a function of far-left ideology. I would also say this is a bigger problem for the world than 25 far right losers in Germany trying to overthrow the government."

And while energy prices aren't the ONLY issue in the inflation/affordability crisis, I would argue that it is the largest part. It literally affects every part of everything we do. It raises the prices of raw materials for almost everything we own, it raises the prices of transportation to get us every good we need, and it raises the prices of the energy we need to survive a winter in the country of Canada.

If you don't want to take my word for it, take a look at the change in CPI based on category:

What are the first four categories here?
My point is that the current inflation/affordability crisis is also caused by COVID, Russia, right wing ideology, etc.

So I’m confused as to why you brought up left wing ideology at all. As a retort to right wing extremism? Well, I don’t really buy that argument. As an example of a bigger issue than extremism? Maybe in the short term, though the issue is also cause by right wing extremism.

I guess it’s just unclear how you provided an answer to what the poster was asking at all, because he wasn’t asking for an example of a bigger problem than “25 far right losers in Germany.” You understand that, right?
