Ive noticed that while the Western normie conservatives think that ww2 was a victory for them and that fascists were left wingers, in Japan, even milktoast conservatives like RandomYoko, think that ww2 was a loss for right wingers. They dont go around saying "actually imperial Japan was leftist" - Kotaku In Action 2

i think people more often than not lately just make up whatever qualities they want in a classical political alignment chart

i myself am guilty of this. i have to explain every time in person when i make this argument -- i view "Left" - "Right" as a not a 4-way chart, but a sliding scale from

Left Side: [Authoritarian 100]/[Liberty 0] to Right Side: [Authoritarian 0]/[Liberty 100]

in short lol. yeah, the Left/Right label is becoming more meaningless. Discourse and language is going to change over time and the meanings of Left/Right will change. Much like how the mainstream has co-opted and largely de-weaponised "Woke" (at least in Australia)
