Political literacy classes are available online… the idea of anybody thinking Lemmy is right wing (whether it’s code or the majority of its user base) is hilarious and a bit sad at the same time.
Spacetime is relative. If we're putting directions on politics, then politics has to be relative too.
Well, right is a term relative to centre which is relative to left.
No it's not. It can be relative to anywhere. If drag's on the left side of a room, then the center of the room is to the right.
-7 and -9 are both numbers… but none of them are at zero or above. They are both negative, just by varying degrees.
Are you referring to yourself as “drag” or is that a typo?
Directions do not have an absolute reference point. There is no center of the universe. Numbers do. That's why numbers aren't like directions. Don't use numbers as an example when numbers have something directions don't.
I was trying to be analogous to help you understand… either you don’t want to understand or you’re not willing to understand or… there’s something else going on here.
You chose a bad analogy because you don't understand. That's what's going on here. You think the overton window isn't culturally relative
So you can understand up or down but struggle with left and right?
No.
Coolio.
