Thought-provoking article! Is it an enthusiasm for the Right or more of a disgust for the Left? How would you define the Right? Up until 2021, I was part of the Left, 99% of whom remain possessed by ignorance and hypocrisy. My values have stayed the same. Yet the Right has some blind spots as well. I tend to think that economic and political views are more of a sphere than a line. Is there a side that has never fallen to the abuse of power?

The trap is that the right will not have more consideration towards them, especially the weakest and the less fortunate. Finally the only conclusion ... be wary of labels and fine words ...

They have learned at a young age the dangers of concentrated power, and that collectivism enhances that danger. It takes most of us awhile to get it. And of course everyone is called “far right” if they don’t trust socialism. (And anyway, why do they call the National Socialist German Workers party “right wing?”)
