I just learned that in Spanish-speaking countries in South America, their version of “righty tighty, lefty loosy” is “la derecha oprime y la izquierda libera”, which literally translates to “the right oppresses and the left liberates”.
That, my friends, is the most dead-on mnemonic that has ever been thought up.
@OGjester I’m latino and I’ve never heard that phrase, I’m not denying it exists but I’m inclined to think it isn’t widely used.
@gpowerf yeah, that’s the gist I get as well. I heard it on a podcast where they were talking about Uruguay and the crazy things that have happened there politically in the last 40 years. Probably not a thing outside of bonafide leftist circles. I still like it enough that I taught it to my kids!
