Very true.
Can confirm. Came from the left, encountered new information and am now right of Atilla the Hun.
Are you ideologically opposed to the methods and structures the left is using, or just their targets?
You aren't on the right if you're a collectivist. That's not how the right and left work.
Some yes, others no.
If we take the right to approximately represent the politics of tradition, then collectivism is right at home in it. Get in the phalanx or get skewered alone on the battlefield.
If we describe electricity as mud we can power our homes with wet dirt too right? No, that's fucking retarded. Do you have an actual clue what left and right are? Since you don't, I'll explain.
Left vs right is the singular axis of totalitarianism vs anarchism at the extreme ends. Collectivism is low IQ goblin mindset that can't differentiate between individuals and group stereotypes, is left wing. Individualism is right wing. Lumping people into groups based on arbitrary characteristics because you lack the mental capacity to differentiate between individuals is leftist.
What you spouted off is some reddit grade "political compass" bullshit. That is not an actual functional scale to measure politics on. That is propaganda designed for morons.
No, you can't just arbitrarily decide what things mean. Words and phrases have meaning, and right and left are not random nebulous "whatever I want it to be when it's convenient". Go read history. Right wing is explicitly individualist / anti-state. Left wing is collectivist / statist.
