This is the perfect waterfall analogy.

But that word is “obscene” and we just pretend the First Amendment doesn’t exist when that applies?

You know, it’s almost like the authors are just carrying that right-wing propaganda instead of checking the actual definitions of the terms they’re using…

Authoritarianism is right wing.

There is no “left wing authoritarianism”. If there is authoritarianism then it is right wing.

Yes, even that country. That one, too. And that one. Now you’re starting to get it.

Rightists love to use leftist labels whenever it suits their purposes. It’s called “propaganda”.

Given that Nintendo does this sort of thing routinely and, possibly, for sport… no, it is not obvious.

This makes no sense. Those are the same thing. You do not have one without the other. The right is about neither. The right is purely “do what we say”. Nothing more and nothing less.

China is right wing. In the extreme. They have centralized authority with strong top-down hierarchies. There is nothing leftist about them in the least.

There is no such thing. It’s just fascism. That they try to call themselves leftist makes no difference to the objective facts or fundamental definitions of the political spectrum.

It’s like when rightists try to claim they are all about freedom, while advocating for fascist policies. If you advocate for fascist policies, you are right wing and a fascist. The labels you are attempting to appropriate are inconsequential.
