leftists want workers to get paid fairly for what they work for
rightists want genocide
Nazis are right and Nazis haters are left
The left wants order and the right wants chaos
They want chaos for what, economic advantage?
The left wants order and the right wants chaos
That's pretty stupid
They want chaos for what, economic advantage?
Yes. The right is battling for power in the most blatant way possible.
I agree and it should be fixed
Your understanding of politics? Definitely
The left and right divide came from the french revolution, to sum it up the left in general tend to be the more progressive side and the right the conservatives this is from the seats where each side respectively sat on during the assemblies
Historically, the right has always been those who defer to societal hierarchy and resist attempts to change it. I split the right between Conservatives who are content with the current societal hierarchy and Reactionaries who want to establish a different status quo. Since hierarchy has to have people at the top (patricians) and people at the bottom (plebs), rightists come up with justifications for why the Patricians and Plebs are at their respective positions. The left have been those who challenged those justifications and opted to abolish the hierarchy be it the divine right of kings, racial caste, class, etc etc. This is a simplified explanation but I think you can apply it pretty universally.

What's so pernicious about the 'alt right' segment that's emerged recently is it borrows from certain senses of alienation, acknowledgement of hierarchies, inequality, etc. to pull people into its sphere of influence, but channels that sense into creating reactionaries rather than building class consciousness.
To me, the worst part about the problem is that this segment almost feeds off of attempts at stamping it out.
Those are just terms to distract people from noticing they are in a nation wide ass blast
Who must we vote for? Am I supposed to vote for the republican who's going to blast me in the ass or the democrat who is blasting my ass

Yeah I’m thinking to myself, both sides are pretty ass… I find myself heavily nodding at leftist rhetoric but the actual situations in these leftist countries are pretty dreadful. More right wing countries are usually better off it seems. Both extremes seem pretty crappy in general.

Yup but this is not new, it's always been a part of right wing populism. Their followers might notice bugs in the Matrix but the only language they have is that of the Matrix so their attempts to fix its problems actually perpetuates them.
