Let’s talk about it. What are “left wing issues” and what are “right wing issues”?
We can probably agree on what an issue is. But I’m not sure we have any idea what right wing or left wing are.
How far right is right wing? And right of what, exactly? What about the left? Where is the center point?
Here’s a fun one. To whom belongs the issue of racism? Is that a right wing issue or a left wing one?
It’s neither of course. It’s a human issue. And you have victims of racism across the entire political spectrum who care deeply about it. Yet discourse would have you assume it’s a “left wing” issue, when it’s anything but.
