Lol, you’re right.

Labels like ‘Liberal’ and ‘Conservative’ are pretty much misnomers by now.

To me, a simple heuristic is:

- All people should make their own decisions (generally associated with ‘The Right’)

- Few people should make decisions for all (generally associated with ‘The Left’)

I’d say that’s pretty spot on. I’d you even dare to recognize the nuance of either side, you become an enemy of that side. It’s complete group think/identity politics. Has happened dozens of times in the last few centuries but god forbid you call it out.

Yeah, tribalism is baked into our genes and nuance takes effort.

So polarisation is the way for most. Especially now media turned it into their core business.
