its more authoritarian than anything else. and while it does act to keep the society """""orderly""""" technicly even left wing ideologys think theyre ideology does that

2018-08-08 15:29:42 UTC  

The left and right is constantly changing though depending on how you look at the left right idea

2018-08-08 15:30:44 UTC  

Originally left and right was based on the two majorities of a parliament

2018-08-08 15:31:45 UTC  

So left and right could be seen as the two major sides in politics in the western world, if going off of the original use

2018-08-08 15:32:06 UTC  

Thanks for the clarification

2018-08-08 15:39:49 UTC  

Islam is definitely right wing, but they packaged Muslim terrorism in with white Christians and pretended it was proof that white Christians were a big problem. Ignoring the disproportionate amount of terrorism coming from those communities when their percentage of population is taken into consideration.

2018-08-08 15:42:54 UTC  

White Christians are a majority of the population, so you’d expect to see a lot from them just based on that, however there are years when Muslims beat them, or come close. Which is crazy af considered how small the Muslim population is.

Is Judaism right-wing?

2018-08-08 15:52:36 UTC  

I would say no at least certainly her is the U.S.

2018-08-08 15:53:31 UTC  

By religion 24% Republican 68% Democrat

2018-08-08 15:53:59 UTC  

Though you could argue that America both parties are on the right in the global scheme of things

2018-08-08 16:06:20 UTC  

Interesting

2018-08-08 16:08:57 UTC  

White evangelical and Mormon only really the two religious demographics that are heavily Republican

2018-08-08 16:11:00 UTC  

Looks like orthodox Jewish as well, but the presence is not as significant

2018-08-08 16:32:37 UTC  
2018-08-08 16:32:59 UTC  

all of america is "right wing" compared to the rest of the west, yes.

2018-08-08 16:33:34 UTC  

although it will be interesting to watch how that changes in europe in the coming years. seems like they are swinging more and more right.

eew mormons

2018-08-08 18:25:55 UTC  

why do these idiots have to legitimize this clown? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-08-08 18:26:32 UTC  

same reason for Trumps news coverage

2018-08-08 18:27:11 UTC  

Its a bunch of thin-skinned beta feminists, who feel attacked, so they'll take revenge by showign the world what a terrible "poopypants" evil Jones is

2018-08-08 18:28:19 UTC  

and they don't get why people react the opposite

2018-08-08 18:28:25 UTC  

so naturally they must be nazi's too

2018-08-08 18:30:07 UTC  

btw with the above conversation from earlier about islam, and various religions being left or right, exactly what parameters are you using to judge these religions as representing one politics vs another?

2018-08-08 18:30:19 UTC  

aka what makes islam right wing?

2018-08-08 18:31:09 UTC  

Well i wasn't part of it, nor know how it went

But i'd wager Islam is right-wing because "Official" right-wing believes in a heirarchy structure, instead of an "all are equal" structure

2018-08-08 18:32:48 UTC  

Is that the official wing usage?

2018-08-08 18:33:09 UTC  

well, in the 1d spectrum, yes

2018-08-08 18:33:29 UTC  

but thats a poor representation, because in the 1d spectrum

Authoritarian and Right-wing are the same

2018-08-08 18:33:32 UTC  

and Liberal and Left are the same

2018-08-08 18:33:42 UTC  

thats the original one where "nazi's" are far right

2018-08-08 18:33:52 UTC  

cuz in reality, Nazi's were socialists, which puts them on the left of the 2D spectrum

2018-08-08 18:37:26 UTC  

Yeah, I don't think the nazis were far right. They were just right wing compared to the German communists

2018-08-08 18:37:43 UTC  

just like everyone is now

2018-08-08 18:38:34 UTC  

i tend to think of them as centrists
