what does left and right mean?

[RidonKs]

do explain it to the best of your ability

without referring to your archimedean point


the best i can do is the following

left believes in human dignity above all
right believes in human destiny above all

but i'm not sure that does much to resolve this strange fixation we have distinguishing ourselves politically

so which are you, why are you that way, and how much importance do you place on it anyway?

in some sense its a political version of religious identity, that is resultant of our fierce desire to express ourselves in SOME way. and since most of us aren't smart enough to figure out a political theory or religious framework all on their own, they grasp onto one that seems... suitable.

seems to matter a whole lot less in terms of drive than pragmatic circumstances we find ourselves in

Right = freedom
Left = totalitarianism


The horrific problem with the left is, they truly have this "no, it's not totalitarianism. It's ok if we use force to control what everyone is allowed to do because what we want to enforce are the right things" mentality.

An analogy that puts this into perspective would be that the left is of the mentality that we should hold up rush hour traffic to wait for a caterpillar to cross the road. The right would prefer to let traffic continue and leave the caterpillar to deal with this fact as he sees fit.

Lift up your left hand...lift up your right. That's what it means.

Left: Not associated to a specific religion and believe in helping people in need.
Right: Associated to a specific religion that believes in helping people in need but not actually following that part.

Leftism IS their religion.

This. They simply replace god with the state. The left are statists, and if you don't live by their dogma the almighty state will reign down its wrath upon you.

Really? I would guess that you personally are in favor of the state forcing people to adhere to who you think they should have to sell a cake to.

If you look straight ahead

Left is <--- that way in relation to the direction you are looking

Right is ----> that way in relation to the direction you are looking

You're welcome OP

What if you're looking straight behind?

Then you probably have way too much privilege and need to chill the fkc out on all that cis gender oppression shit.

The origin of these terms come from France politics WAYYYY back in the day.

Politicians would sit on the left if they wanted "change" on an issue.
Politicians would sit on the right if they wanted to "keep" the issue as it is.

However a lot of time has passed since then, and the mainstream left is really no different from the right when it comes to results by the actual politicians. The only differences are issues on "identify politics" that are prioritized in order to divide and conquer by the elites so they can continue to control the money. Race....gender.....sexual orientation. These three things are their absolute favorite to cause friction within the populace so that they eventually dominate the "political discussion". Perhaps we'll add other trivial issues like Marijuana and abortions? Meanwhile no difference in foreign policy, banking/economic policy. the elite continue to jerk eachother off, laughing at all of the stupid goyim...ahem I mean people....

I see hope in the new "alternative right" among the new generation, but your average mainstream 40+ year old "right winger" is an idiot . The people in the stands at republican debates/rallies are just as retarded as the average leftwinger that only talks about ending racism, marijuana, homosexuality, and feminism.
