Real politics is 1% versus everyone. Mortgage crisis, financial bailout, inflation, taxing of labor and not the assets and assets capture by tiny percent of the population — see what MSM is pushing. This left vs right divide might been useful decades ago, but today is absolutely divide and control tactics

>assets capture by tiny percent of the population

Those asserts were _created_ by a tiny percent of the population; if they hadn't been allowed to create those assets then they wouldn't exist. Europe is an example of that: it has only 2 companies in the Fortune 500 (500 biggest companies) that were created in the past 20 years, i.e. essentially no tech industry there. Because the policies there make entrepreneurship comparatively quite difficult.

Right wing originally meant the people defending the divine right of Louis XVI and defending the ultra-rich has been a throughline ever since.

Yeah, you're just describing class warfare. That's a left-wing idea.

The real politics is between truth and delusion.
