Left stands for equality, right stands for hierarchy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) That is in theory. When you talk to actual people, I do not think they see it that way. I still see it as a dividing mechanism that the wealthy class uses to divide the working class. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well like it or not, some members of the working class want to perpetuate hierarchy, so it's a useful distinction. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 0 points 2 years ago Yes, it is a distinction, jargon used in politics. I still see it as a learning and teaching opportunity when you meet people like that. Hard to change minds and you need to listen much more than talk, neutral stances as a start then as you are more of an acquaintance you can get into the nitty-gritty topics. Thanks for pointing it out! permalink fedilink source parent
