The left: we're gonna spy on everyone to make sure you're fine and doing well!
The right: dude nobody's looking who cares
Centrists: are either of you sure and aware of your statements?
The left is not saying this.
Kinda like the right doesn't say that. But here, points don't matter and we make up the rules as we go.
Depends on where you are. Where I am at the right cares more about privacy, the left more about security.
The left cares less about privacy, mostly because most of their supporters are younger.
We have a system that allows both sides, parted in different parties, to decide together on certain laws.
Where I am, there is no left parry, just 2 right wing parties. The actual left is still firmly pro-privacy and pro-security in the hands of individuals.
Doesn't the right want to check the genitals of children and police bathrooms so those lovely trans kids don't accidentally live a normal life?
Nah the right don't give a shit about that, that's the conservatives.
Political right means more individualism, and being able to live without government interference where it's not neccesary.
Political left means more involved government, both helping people and keeping an eye out for criminals/things people do that could be considered criminal.
People like to forget that the whole world is not Murica :)
There are plenty of right-wing governments that are staunchly anti-queer, and the reason would be that queer would fall under non-traditional (queer is literally synonymous with odd, weird, etc.)
Right-wing has several definitions, but using "individualism" would be incorrect for most of them. Right-wing would include heirarchical, traditional, militaristic, and/or authoritarian values. The only individuals that are respected in the political right are those at the top of heirarchies (e.g. authority figures like the military and police). What you espouse as individualism would likely be (little L) libertarianism, which is a classically left-wing philosophy.
I think you might be confused about your political left, as well.
