Subject: Re: Left/Right
We need to replace them with Sensibles vs Nutjobs. Close to "Moderates vs Extremists", except the Sensibles can take extreme positions when those... well, make sense. Such as an extreme "faith" in science not because it's perfect but because real science is continuously tested and is willing to correct its mistakes.

Left and Right nutjobs agree in many abhorrent policies.
-- Anti-vax
-- Protectionism
-- Identity politics (defining people by what groups they are in instead of treating them like the unique individuals they are)
-- Unlimited government spending on their pet ideas
etc etc.


I do believe you nailed it.
