[personal profile] causticus
In the Western world, Right/Left is becoming an ever-more meaningless distinction. Post-2016, the relevant dichotomies are now:

-Nationalist/Globalist (Sovereignty)
-Universalist/Identitarian (Values applicability)
-Pluralist/Ideolouge (Coexistence of beliefs)
-Objective Principles/Relativism (Metaphysical orientation)
-Populists/Technocrats (Social Planning)
-Realist/Utopian (Malleability of Human Nature)
-Libertarian/Authoritarian (Concentration of power)
-Self-ownership/Victimhood (Personal Responsibility)
-Spiritual/Materialist (Metaphysical orientation)
-Essentialism/Social-constructivism (Human Nature)
-Demonstrated Actions/Profession of beliefs (Acts vs. Faith)

...among several others I can't quite think of at the moment

Any political debate or discourse in the current-year which ignores these categories is irrelevant or simply a diversion from what matters.
