Does anyone else feel that division between 'Left' and 'right' only serves to further divide us?

There are lots of us who recognize the divide and conquer tactics being used out there. You are not alone.

Punch across not up.

I consider myself on the right but I don't care about spreading division against anyone. Even many leftists aren't bad people. If someone wants to set up a commune, more power to them. If someone wants to be a leftist on this site, that's fine, as long as they don't want to censor others.

However, I do think that the biggest threat against freedom are super-rich "progressive" people who want to reduce national sovereignty and individual rights for the sake of "social justice". E.g. George Soros, Bill Gates, and the UN.

I'm fairly left-leaning myself but I think conservatives deserve a platform too. It doesn't sit right with me that Reddit banned /r/rightwinglgbt...

I don't even know what I am politically any more. I just see this ugly "progressivism" has taken control of the left wing and I know I'm not that. I also know that I like my country, the UK, and I am tired of having it treated like it's awful. We're not perfect but we are still good.

In my workplace I see growing animosity towards white men because they make up more of the board than proportional to the population but I have no fucking clue why that is meant to matter unless you presuppose race and sex as centrally important in how you view the world. They aren't nothing but they sure as hell aren't everything.
