Read the original meaning of the terms
Right Wing stands for Traditionalism, not small govt.
Size of govt. is irrelevant
I never talked about gov size
Moreso the justifications behind it being authoritarian*
Whether that traditionalism is achieved by big or small govt., it will still be Right Wing
Like, my point was that the reasons behind the nazis having 'big gov' were the same as those of the USSR
Both ideologies sought to have a very controlling government in order to 'fix' preceived inequalities
That's even more weird
So (from my pov) their justificaitons are both left-wing in nature
The political term right-wing was first used during the French Revolution, when liberal deputies of the Third Estate generally sat to the left of the president's chair, a custom that began in the Estates General of 1789.
The nobility, members of the Second Estate, generally sat to the right.
huh
I didn't know that lol
So the original term refers to supporters of Monarchy
You have it completely backwards
Right. Well that's definitely not what I'm referring to haha
The modern Right-Left distortion is an Amerimuttt propaganda
Where they tried to subvert RW by injecting small govt.
Although if I'm being honest to me "right-wing" and "left-wing" are pretty much the same
Like, when taken to their extremes they end up at the exact same place
>muh horseshoe

I didn’t want to deal with the horseshoe argument

<:thinkcide2:462282425486147585>
I mean I'm not trying to make an argument for it
I'm just saying that from where I stand, both "wings" are more similar than different
Ok
That's because you are doing a univariate analysis like Feminists do to kvetch about wage gap
Sorry I didn’t listen to you m8 I just didn’t want to argue over left wing and right wing
@Monstrous Moonshine I barely understood half of what you just said
I'm doign a what ?
