Wow. Maybe the left/right wing dichotomy is a massive oversimplification compared to the much more nuanced reality. What a surprise.
It’s not even a simplification. It’s a bold-faced lie that pretends a lot of different opinions are the same.
This is some shit a 14 year old would think is deep lmao
Life is far more complex than a simple good/bad dichotomy. If one is bad and another is much worse; they are absolutely not the same and you actually help the worse one by essentially sane washing the depraved lengths they willingly and want to reach.
With L/R, one has greedy and corrupt outliers and compromised leadership while the other is a majority of grifting hateful racists and sexual abusers who are also greedy as fuck.
You do bad people a service when you smooth out the good/bad gradient into a solely boolean concept. All nuance is lost, and that only helps those in bad faith.

That article literally equates liberalism and leftism. Those are different, distinct things.
You know, it’s almost like the authors are just carrying that right-wing propaganda instead of checking the actual definitions of the terms they’re using…
Liberalism is centrism.

Difference between communists and Nazis is that one of them lost a world war.
