How would you propose left/right be divided, if not by the commonly accepted mechanics by which they differ?

    I'm so glad you asked.

    commonly accepted mechanics

    I'm beginning to feel a little gas-lit.

    That refers to the Overton Window, as you can see it's generally just vibes, and not actual measurable mechanics.

    Right. I must've missed that because I don't care about this conversation at all. Labels were never my thing to begin with. But you can call me right-wing if it makes you feel better, as long as I get to keep my trans boyfriend.

    You asked me, so I answered. Personally, I think left/right is hopelessly reductive, it ties too many unrelated things together, and says nothing of social views, of which you're presumably very progressive despite right wing economic views.

    That's why I wouldn't call you "right wing" before I called you a liberal, which I'm sure we are both comfortable with.
