If you lump libertarian into right wing too, then sure. There have always been dedicated cool lefties here though too, thanks providence.

In 2021 I find it pretty difficult differentiating between left and right. Against racism and sexism, hate megacorps trying to control your life and worried about manipulation by the mainstream media? Well that's obviously right wing! (Wait...what?)

The left has more in common with the far than either do with the center.

The whole "right" and "left" paradigm is just another propaganda tool used to divide us. I'm happy to engage with all kinds of different opinions as long as everyone is respectful and keeps an open mind.

I don't like using it, to be honest, it has a lot of problems. Class and nationality seem to be better ways to divide up society — for example: the struggle in US politics is not between the left and the right, but rather between the People and the Elite, and the North and the South.

I do, I lump them in with the right-wing so long as they have right-wing economic views, but I don't usually consider them far-right, unless they subscribe to an Anarchist view.
