Is it nuts, the loony left tag has been around decades long before anybody dreamt up the alt right.
Scargill was called loony left, Micheal foot, Ken Livingston, Neil Kinnock, the fringe element of the labour party.
But a nice attempt to virtue signal anyhow |

The term looney left" goes way back to the early 1989s, and was used by the press to mainly describe the antics of Ken Livingstone and the GLC.
It probably reached a peak prior to the 1987 election where Neil Kinnock was roundly defeated.
Whilst its an easy tag for anyone right of centre to throw around, I have seen examples of the more moderate Labour Party using it. |

Yes now you're getting there.
So the alt right use the phrase to attempt to discredit and marginalise anybody with moderate views. Such as non-bigoted people, people who want to do something about climate change etc etc. |
