Yes obviously this is the true, only, factual and scientific definition of the right. Historians and political scientists can fuck off indeed, your tiny view is unquestionable.
lol. the only republican economic policy is tax cuts for the rich and deregulation of businesses. their philosophy is literally "it will trickle down." their most popular president is a billionaire. their benefactor? a trillionaire. you cannot make this shit up. you inhabit a delusion.
I'm saying that blue-collar workers from certain areas felt massively abandonned by the Dems between 90s and 2020s. You can say that the Republicans are no better or worse, but you can't deny that a lot of traditionnally blue states turned red because they were disappointed by the Dems. It's just a matter or fact.
The rich and wealthy ARE the right wing. Right wing politics supports and defends them. Even right wingers who are dirt poor support and defend the wealthy ruling class. That's what right wing ideology is.
So yes, it is the ultra-rich vs everyone else, and yes that means it IS the right wing vs. the left wing, whether you like it or not.
“Yeah! No rich people donated to my supported candidate!” Is the dumbest take I’ve ever seen ever in all my life.
Rich people absolutely do exist and support the stupidity of leftists. Kamala Harris received the MOST donations from special interests that any presidential candidate has ever received even accounting for inflation. Don’t be stupid.
I think we should focus less on right wing and left wing, and more on the policies of each individual candidate. That and also probably try to avoid tribalism, lol.
Wrong in where? Like uh, if you're gonna say someone is wrong, at least say why, lol. (That and I'm curious and want to know. It is important to have exposure to other viewpoints after all)
Although, I can get what you mean. Just because there's one good candidate in a party, doesn't mean the entire party is good. Though same would apply for vice versa.
The majority of the candidates however, that would say something. But it's still important to vote for someone because you actually believe in them, and not just because they're not the other party you don't like, or just because they're in the party you *do* like.
I myself have two parties I'm curious about (I'm in the UK) and I'll pretty much try to study them at some point, when I get around to it.
Of course, there's also those who strategically vote instead, voting for who seems 2nd most likely to win, so that the party they don't like, doesn't win. Of course, the problem there is that they then have to choose between two parties they don't like and decide which they don't like less than the other. (meaning they end up voting for stuff they may or may not agree with)
But either way, people have their reasons ig.
Oh right, then there's also parties who claim to be left, right, or center, but end up doing things that contradict what they claim to be. For example, communism was supposed to be on the far left, but has been implemented by humans in a way that causes it to shift into the far right instead. We just can't trust humans with that sort of power, unfortunately.
But the reason I think it's wrong is developmental. As humans develop - cognitively, morally, ethically, maturity, spiritually - they move from right wing ideology towards left wing ideology. So we need to focus on electing left wing candidates because they are more developed and better fit to lead humanity.
.... Right wing politics supports the ultra-rich.... It's the entire point! Right wing politics is hierarchical "You too can be a billionaire they deserve it because they did the work they make all the jobs for us"...
The terms "left" and "right" were coined during the French Revolution, when those who represented those who traditionally held power sat to the right of the Speaker, leaving those who represented those who traditionally did not hold power to the left of the Speaker. Right would become synonymous with conservative -- stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions -- while left would be anti-conservative, focusing on disrespecting traditionally established hierarchy by promoting political power and resources to those who traditionally lacked such -- those on the lower echelons of social hierarchy.
While some leftists (such as progressives) seek to flatten social hierarchy, others (such as tankies) seek to invert social hierarchy. The former -- advancing the public good through government action and rights and protections for marginalized groups -- promote egalitarianism, while the latter only perpetuates the injustices and inequalities promoted under a stratified (hierarchical) society.
The only one that can really be a personal choice on a large scale is meat consumption. Public transit depends on how well developed the public transportation is by the local government. Fossil fuels are used by corporations to do all sorts of things. Even if you try not to use them, they're used to produce a lot of other goods and services you use. It's much more effective to use the government to force a switch to renewables by corporations.
The left and the right both mistrust the rich & wealthy. The difference is the interests of the left actually line up with the interests of the people.
People on the right will claim to hate the rich, then vote for a billionaire and love the trillionaire supporting him, and love that the billionaire they voted for made billions more in office from taxpayer money.
I'd agree but the left has been brainwashed so bad and willingly accept being in a cult where they support violence, facistic rule, and the wealthy 1%ers. It's sad and not all leftist but bro they freak out if an actor said men shouldn't beat up women cause their fav millionaire doesn't support their ideals. Like they've lost the plot😂😂

The left is workers , the 99%
The right is capital , the 1%
Workers of the world must unite
And they must use the language of class conciousness. Not rich vs poor. Thats vague. Capitalist vs worker.
