Voat was anarchic, not far-right.

It was a clone of Totse.

The mass media labelled it far right because are idiots.

Meh, I would be considered far-right, and I fit in on Voat just fine.

The website itself may be called anarchic in structure, but those who gathered there were (or became) far-right quite frequently.

Basically anywhere that allows free speech, where all arguments and evidence can be freely examined, is likely to develop a culture that is far-right by today's standards. Leftism and the kind of 90's liberalism that passes for Centrism today are both so naive, so self-contradictory, that they can only dominate where ignorance is enforced through the censorship of competing views, counter-evidence, and criticism. Any place like Voat is bound to end up with a right-wing culture.

What is comes down to is the difference between those who want a central government to control every aspect of our lives and enforce a code of behavior of their choosing on us;

or

those who believe that the less government, the better, and that small government is less harmful than big government, and that individuals should be free to run their own lives.

The lib right aka ancaps are still far right, just not authoritarian. I think we had a fair mix of ancaps, authoritarian centrists (NatSoc), fascists and some monarchists.

Anarchic and Far-Right (by the mainstream definitions) are not mutually exclusive. Not that I agree with the mainstream definitions of those words.

It was like /pol/. The system was anarchic but the community was right-wing.
