It's called "being a decent human". It doesn't take much but the right just can't comprehend that
Hear me out, people who belong to this stupid label "the right" can also hold those values. Shocking, isn't it? I'll even out myself as one of those morally apprehensive people of this homogeneous group, which is the exact opposite to the homogeneous group "the left" (because you're either or, of course), ""the* right". But I still hold the same values as Linus mentions.
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.
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.
If you think you're on "the right" and are not advocating actively and persistently for Trump's removal from office, you're a fucking useless moron.
Thanks! I'm actually European, but it seems that a lot of people here on Lemmy forget that there exists other places than the USA and US politics. Being not-American I don't actively focus on the US, but actually what happens on my continent, my country, my county and my municipality.
(No, I do not endorse Trump. I hope he's replaced soon.)
You must recognize that Trump will affect you personally. The US influence is vast. At the very least, some European politicians will try to emulate Trump's success, to the detriment of everyone they represent if they are successful.
Of course there's a spectrum. In the US, the spectrum only applies to the populace, though, as the politicians themselves are behaving so polarized that there only exists "the right" (far-right culture warriors) and "the left" (center-right with lip service to the left).
Then you are either uninformed or somewhere the right is significantly less corrupt
Lift your focus away from the US. it's good for you.
