But neither system is based around two ideologies is the thing

2018-09-13 01:00:03 UTC  

Left/right isn't an ideology.

2018-09-13 01:00:13 UTC  

It's a label for ideological positions

2018-09-13 01:00:20 UTC  

An umbrella term if you will

2018-09-13 01:00:21 UTC  

Real Gamers know this

2018-09-13 01:00:23 UTC  

But it doesn't work

2018-09-13 01:00:28 UTC  

It's a system of values compiled through a spectrum

2018-09-13 01:00:40 UTC  

Right but nobody can name a consistent set of values

2018-09-13 01:00:51 UTC  

Oof has worked its way into my daily vocabulary.

2018-09-13 01:00:54 UTC  

Or plot ideologies consistently as per those sets

2018-09-13 01:00:59 UTC  

It's embarassing, in a way.

2018-09-13 01:01:02 UTC  

So a right wing party is pro traditionalism, constitutionalism, etc

2018-09-13 01:01:42 UTC  

A left wing party would be pro secularism, social programs, etc

2018-09-13 01:02:01 UTC  

Those are non exclusionary

2018-09-13 01:02:20 UTC  

You can be secular, support the constitution, support social programs and value tradition

2018-09-13 01:02:25 UTC  

You can adopt a wide variety of ideologies under one banner without being cornered

2018-09-13 01:03:18 UTC  

And then, the people in the party can say "I'm a constitutionalist", or " I'm a socialist"

2018-09-13 01:03:34 UTC  

Further, what was no child left behind, as poor a plam as it was? And alt right memestate enthusiasts will often advocate a heavy welfare state

2018-09-13 01:03:53 UTC  

That's the thing. The lines are unclear

2018-09-13 01:04:09 UTC  

Aren't alt right people national socialists?

2018-09-13 01:04:29 UTC  

Not all, but altleast the ethnostatists

2018-09-13 01:04:37 UTC  

Some of them might be yes, and a heavy social welfare state is lefty

2018-09-13 01:04:38 UTC  

technocratic monarchy is the best, prove me wrong

2018-09-13 01:04:44 UTC  

So what's the righty aspect?

2018-09-13 01:04:51 UTC  

The alt right isn't a good example here

2018-09-13 01:04:55 UTC  

Even ethnonationalists aren't necessarily natsocs.

2018-09-13 01:05:00 UTC  

It's a perfect example

2018-09-13 01:05:15 UTC  

Because where do they go?

2018-09-13 01:05:17 UTC  

Vernacular recommendation: we need words more relative to the Overton window, and not the political compass.

2018-09-13 01:05:39 UTC  

They didn't start off this way. A bunch of nazis took over the actual alt right.

2018-09-13 01:05:54 UTC  

Okay, but where do you put Nazis?

2018-09-13 01:05:57 UTC  

The Alt-Right was Poland

2018-09-13 01:06:15 UTC  

Radical centrists

2018-09-13 01:06:15 UTC  

The Nazis annexed it

2018-09-13 01:06:30 UTC  

The nazis are radical centrists.

2018-09-13 01:06:38 UTC  

And the media basically said 'sure, they can have THAT title...'

2018-09-13 01:06:40 UTC  

What right wing positions do they have?

2018-09-13 01:06:48 UTC  

Monarchy

2018-09-13 01:07:01 UTC  

Closed borders

2018-09-13 01:07:20 UTC  

I'm not buying Monarchy as 'right'

2018-09-13 01:07:35 UTC  

Monarchy is an authoritarian branch.
