You say it's not left v. right, but it sure sounds like you think the right is what's causing inequality. Which I agree with.

The current fight is within the Eppstein class (both right and left elites), between the old money (Wall Street) and new money (techno-fascists/feudalists of Silicon Valley).

The rabble is just taken for the ride, fooled by left vs right show and exploited along the way.

I consider "this" right to be moral in a different way.

Now the right all around the world is hijacked by narcissistic greed that punishes any voicing of conservative moral.

In the US some republicans are daring to challenge the extreme narcissistic greed and a lot more are thinking about this privately.

I also mentioned the other dichotomies and perhaps the "right" could be hopelessness and the the "left" false hope.

As in "no point trying to curb the emissions or addressing any social causes, because the zillionaires choke hold of the planet" vs. the "eternal green growth and economy will save us and make us rich".

The Trump humangod class is not the right IMO.

I believe that power (via money or absolute power) corrupts and thus me must find a way to prevent individuals from becoming human-gods.

The left (without the "") pretends to know this but ends up being corrupted anyway and the right (the one that has some moral and spine left) seems to believe that they will not be corrupted by power.

Hope that explains it a bit better.

> the right is what's causing inequality

If people have rights, then they are unequal. If they have no rights, they are equal.
