It's weird that Right-wing people are so defensive about being called right-wing... Almost as if they know there's something wrong with it.
If you think society prioritises the needs and feelings of minorities and financially poor people too much, you're right wing. Own it!

One of my best friends refers to himself as economically Conservative but socially Liberal. That means he's right wing when it comes to taxes and the economy but Left-wing when it comes to race, gender, sexutality etc.
The political spectrum doesn't just exist on one axis.

I just realised that makes him the exact opposite of "Blue Labour" who seem to have his line of "We want high-taxes but we're still racist". 😅
To clarify. He believes in a strong base structure of capitalism BUT aggressively countering the problems that creates.
Translation: Let the economy do its thing but do whatever it takes to make sure those at the bottom are not allowed to suffer.
(he's more lefty than he thinks)
