Hard Mode: It has nothing to do with policy.
What fundamentally separates the right from the left?
Joseph Bennett
Evan Davis
one side cries on Jow Forums while the other does it on twitter
Justin Hernandez
Bentley Carter
Pragmatism vs. Empathy
or, in a contemporary framework
straight white vs jews/coalition of subhumans
John Morales
basically gay jews and war jews
Caleb Harris
Differs from place to place, but can be watered down to:
individualism vs family / sect
equality vs liberty
the left pursues the left, the right peruses the right.
Tyler Bell
The Left prioritizing the victim / victimizer dichotomy over the Right's dichotomy of Self ownership / responsibility.
Liam Watson
It's all perspective. If you are facing someone their right is your left
Luke Murphy
One is imperalist and strives on profit one doesn't
Bentley Brown
Hierarchal beliefs v. Egalitarian beliefs.
Liam Lopez
The left is about the individual , the right is about family.
Mason Jones
retarded and wrong
The political spectrum is way too complex to even split it up into 2 groups. It's just a tool used to create even more divide between populations. both 1d and 2d models have to sum up a bunch of different ideologies to simplify it for the masses, which is why most people believe hitler and moussolini to be on the far right
WHat you're describing is Nietzsches concept of slave/master morality. It does somewhat explain the differences between communism and capitalism, but not much else.
Nathan Morales
On one side you have a rainbow; on the other side you have a mud puddle.
Eli Taylor
The right values hierarchy, the left rejects it whenever possible
Luis Turner

Nietzschean and the extremely European ideal of INEQUALITY vs militant egalitarianism

Eli Williams
Right believes in inequality. Left believes in equality.
The more left or right you are, the more you believe in equality or inequality, respectively.
Tyler Powell
Also this. The thread has basically ended here, anyone who argues with this is literally a brainlet and doesn't understand what they are talking about.
Oliver Martin
Hitler an Mussolini represented ideologies that disappeared from the political field since WW2 (and while Mussolini can be considered right, to an extent, Hitler certainly can not) and are considered right only because they were not communist, but they don't fall on the modern right-left spectrum. Saying the political spectrum is "too complex" is a cop out. All modern right-left dichotomies are derived to a large extent from what I mentioned.
Easton Gutierrez
You are all on the right track.
Anthony Green
In conventional American politics, the left is more intellectually open, whereas conservatives are more orderly. Where things get interesting are at the political extremes...
Not only are conservatives more orderly, but it’s also associated with disgust sensitivity. Combine high intellectual openness and orderliness/sensitive to disgust, you get a national socialist.
Jordan Peterson’s words, not mine.
I think it makes a lot of sense and is pretty true for myself. I’m natsoc in a nutshell
Brandon Hall
I forgot what Peterson said about the far left, but basically they are very low in orderliness and very low in intellectual openness.
They basically aren’t human
Grayson Cox
The Right is more driven by fear.
Elijah King
Maybe according to Psychology Today.
How do you define fear? It seems to me it's only ever the left I see in media descending into absolute hysterics the minute something doesn't go their way.

Quality over Quantity
Shit thread. Read Guenon & Evola.

Essentialism versus constructivism
