Left stands for equality, right stands for hierarchy
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.
Well like it or not, some members of the working class want to perpetuate hierarchy, so it's a useful distinction.
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!
