You cant really help it when the whole agenda is one of selfishness and polarisation.
Demonising the needy, restricting the rights of women and minorities.
Being hawkish where it comes to war.
I find righties to be very immature, tending to look at the world in black and white when the world is more nuanced.
The left is about social and economic inclusion and generally not acting like dicks to other people.
The right want to act like dicks and not be called on it.
And don't get me started on anti intellectualism.

The right is about individual effort. The concept that a man's labor is a man's life and nobody has the right to help this man but the people who want to help him. The needy must be given the chance to provide for themselves and the means of lifting themselves up from whatever background they have.
They are NOT to be helped through the usage of force by government.
That's what I said. Demonising the needy. This individual effort crap is bullshit to salve your conscience. There are many people who will never be able to lift themselves out of poverty by their own effort either because of circumstance, ability or other some other reason. The governments main job should be helping their citizens. You know there will be a time when a robot could do your job for less, doesn't matter what your job is at some point it will be done by a computer or a robot. I bet you'll be wanting assistance then!
This is exactly what I mean by selfish and blinkered.

BUT no woman has the right to an abortion or the right to contraception. She has the right to buy those things like any other person.
You may be on the right and not want to restrict womens rights, good for you but that puts you to the left of most righties who do want to restrict rights.

Lets look at what the Wikipedia definition of the right is shall we.
Quote:Right-wing politics hold that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,typically defending this position on the basis of natural law, economics or tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be viewed as natural results of traditional social differences or the competition in market economies.The term right-wing can generally refer to "the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics
So by definition the right wing in trench social differences and inequality.
Evil.

If you are a libertarian you believe in the non-aggression principle and the sustaining of freedom on the basis of the absence of aggression through social or state violence. This includes war in all shapes and forms other than defense. Most people like me do not even believe in the power of the federalization of the military.
Wow and this is the "right wing" we see is it!
Or is the right generally the ones with the guns calling for war.
And as to the federalistaion of the military what are you suggesting to replace it with mercenaries? Coz that worked so well in Iraq [/sarcasm] (Blackwater anyone.
Your view of the right just seems to be an attempt at justification for being a dick to others.
A stance we in the UK called "I'm all right Jack" which means that you are ok and everyone else can go screw themselves.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
