When you boil it down, being right wing means you value property rights over human rights, and left wing is vice versa. Right wing is maintaining wealth and power, and don't let anyone else get in the way of it.
It's deontological ethics vs keynesian ethics I think. That's why the left and right accuse each other for being based more in emotion than reason. Because from each's perspective, the other is doing something objectively wrong, when they have different moral systems in the first place.
Having said that, I prefer to value the well-being of people, over some archaic devotion to a piece of land, or letting humanity go extinct so that we can respect the rules of some weird game I didn't sign up for called "who grabs land first".
When you boil it down, being right wing means you value freedom and being left wing means you value making others work for you.
You can boil it down to whatever punchline you wish.
Wait the right doesn't have people working for them?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Freedom until it's taken from you by those who are wealthier and more powerful.
Freedom is a big word that without clarification doesn’t tell us much of what you believe in. I think you boiled it for too long.
Haha you're an idiot trying to sound smart
You should get a check up. You sound absolutely fucked. Probably brain worms or some shit. Do you sometimes notice foam in the corners of your mouth when you speak?
Trump is a leftist then?
No, right auth is when you prefer hierarchy. Left auth is bureaucracy. Left and right is how much you think capital is a commodity.
Personally, I'm market socialist so I believe that workers should directly own their labor thru worker cooperatives. Right winger believe that owning capital indefinitely is their right which only leads to capital accural and oligarchy.
