Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

      That depends how you define left and right wing, which is not really something that has entirely agreed upon definitions.

        Lol, according to whom? They’ve been clearly defined for decades. Political scientists don’t like it as it’s a two dimensional axis that lacks the ability to more accurately describe political views, but there’s no question on what it means.

          That’s not entirely true. The definition of left and right wing generally isn’t followed when actually applied. My personal way of defining it, is that most people consider left-wing = socialism, so imo the more socialist it is the more left it is, the more free market it is the further right it is.

          Oxford says this for right wing:

          the section of a political party or system that advocates free enterprise and private ownership, and typically favours socially traditional ideas; the conservative group or section.

          So, how exactly, is Nazism far-right? They did not advocate free enterprise at all. Same with fascists that are corporatist. Yet, people like Richard Spencer are called far-right, because they’re racist? That makes a term like far-right a pejorative and not actually describing an ideology.
