@matrix Let me guess: Nazis aren't right wing either.

@grips @matrix they arent

@igeljaeger @grips @matrix

Nazis are in a weird category.

@IsaacWestcott @grips @matrix
>national SOCIALISM
>right wing
choose one

@igeljaeger @IsaacWestcott @matrix Dunno mate, tradition and hierarchy are right-wing aspects.
Also having X in name doesn't always imply X. Case in point: "Democratic" People's Republic of Korea.

@grips @IsaacWestcott @matrix so what are capitalist libertarians in europe then? Certainly not left wing, certainly not "traditional" either.

@grips @IsaacWestcott @matrix communism has heirarchy, socialism too. Youre not thinking of the authoritarian vs libertarian axis

@igeljaeger @grips @matrix

Everyone knows Socialism was tossed in because it was a fad term.
Kind of like how neoconservatives pretend to be right wing.

@IsaacWestcott @grips @matrix they handled the economy just like a socialist would. Absolute control.

@igeljaeger @grips @matrix

Our whole left-right dichotomy is fucked. There's no way you think that the right wing has an exclusive claim to freedom and liberty.

@igeljaeger @grips @matrix

I'm fine with either in the right tbh

@IsaacWestcott @matrix @igeljaeger That's what I was originally trying to point towards. As terms, "right" and "left" literally described who sat where in the French Parliament. If anything, the dichotomy is more harmful for the """right""", given how it pits the "enlightened", progressive, redistributionist left wing against literally everyone else.

@grips @matrix @igeljaeger

The left always wins, so we might as well accelerate.
They keep winning bc we do it incrementally and accomodate. Just go full throttle pedophilia, child hormone, communism and we'll have this done in a century.

@IsaacWestcott @matrix @grips
"full throttle pedophilia, child hormone, communism"
lmao

@igeljaeger @grips @matrix

It's on the far end of the left.

Miscegination was, universal suffrage was, etc.
Following the trend of liberal democracy their most extreme positions will be accepted eventually, so why not just fucking do it?

@IsaacWestcott @grips @matrix we wont do anything. I doubt either of us will even go into politics. This is all jsut silly larping

@igeljaeger @grips @matrix

Is that such a bad thing really though?

@igeljaeger @grips @matrix

I'd go in politics if circumstances were slightly different. As it stands now, not likely I'm doing too well in the private sector, but if certain conditions are met I'd become motivated enough.

@igeljaeger @grips @IsaacWestcott I would go into politics if my health allowed it. I already thought about joining a party, but I really can't pick one.

@matrix @grips @IsaacWestcott Id rather earn money while I can rather than waste the money of other people while being "payed" to play pretend in politics

@matrix @igeljaeger @IsaacWestcott I can't pick either, let alone slap political labels on myself with confidence. Still figuring out things.

What's your health problem, if I may ask?

@grips @IsaacWestcott @igeljaeger I'm in a wheelchair, which in itself isn't a problem, but the stuff surrounding it is.

@matrix @IsaacWestcott @igeljaeger Perhaps... hard to tell without more info, but I won't pry.

And yeah, wheelchairs in themselves aren't a problem - Slovakia currently has a PM in one.

@grips @IsaacWestcott @igeljaeger Maybe once we all go all for a drink.
Yeah, socially and even access wise it isn't much of an issue.

@igeljaeger @IsaacWestcott @matrix Almost every country does that in times of need like war - even United States firmly controlled prices and wages and rationed goods during WWII. Almost half of USA GDP went towards war effort.
Fun fact, one of the first things Hitler pulled off after appointment to Chancellor were crushing of trade unions and massive privatization - including banks and railways. That, naturally, slowly reversed with emerging war plans.

@grips They're authoritarian centre.
