  • Left and Right wing politics generally are about their relationship to hierarchy and supremacy.

    The Left are causes dedicated to dismantling structures which make the claim that people are inferior or less deserving. The concept of equality is core to leftism, and is what I feel is the core of the difference between left and right wing ideology.

    The Right is dedicated to perpetuating or bolstering hierarchy. They don't see hierarchy as something to be opposed, but rather, as either a natural force that we have to just make do with, or as a positive quality of a system that needs to be emphasized. Because of this, concepts like workers rights, LGBT acceptance, and other things which emphasize helping the "lower classes" socially or otherwise are opposed to right wing politics.

    Another way to see it is, left wingers want equality, and right wingers oppose that. Fascism is not an ideology based on equality, it's one based on supremacy. Fascism doesn't exist without stratifying social structures and finding a lower class to exploit.
















  • I love my trans comrades! :trans-heart:

    I hate right wing ideology because it's entrenched in this belief that some people are on the bottom of the "totem pole" the "hierarchy". That might mean me because I'm a person of color, or my partner because they're trans, it might mean my friends who are poor or live in the "third world".

    They're shitty but they're shitty mostly because of their hatred towards people I know and love. To me, a hatred of right wingers only exist as a means towards expressing love towards my comrades.

    They can't exist without their belief in hierarchy, if they believed people to be intrinsically equal and worthy of respect they wouldn't be right wingers.

    I suppose a more accurate answer to your question would probably be to see a therapist if you are able to, or to spend more time with people that you love. What works for me probably won't work entirely for you.
