@wagesj45 @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io the 2d system is lacking, but the question is: why do so many people view "right wing"/"conservative" as bad? wIthout it there would naturally be nothing to measure "progressive" against. also, in such fast times a bit of conservative thinking might not be bad. it might take longer for things to change, but there is much less over-steering than with the liberal side.
there are liberal topics now which - imho - got completely out of hand. precisely because liberals/lefties didn't stop at "everybody can fuck up his own life as much as (insert pronoun) likes" but want to fuck up everybodies lives to their liking.
i'm somewhere in the libertarian corner, but neither of the sides feels right. left is too much "better than you", right is too much "fuck everything for profit".
guess i'm libertarian with traditionalist views? i don't want power over anyone, and in exchange want to be left alone with anyones agenda and dysfunctional solutions.

i think there's conservative and Conservitive™ . one is deliberative, one is regressive and authoritarian.
