    As I understand it the keystone between left and right is that:
    The left belief is that all people are created equal and should have equal authority to point out wrong doing. The right belief is that people should be in a hierarchy with people at the top exerting control downward.

    I think they are actually just saying if you really believe everyone is equal you can’t pick a group to target for mass murder. But if you are at the top of a pyramid tge people below you naturally look expendable.

    At least that is my reading of this debate.

      And my point was that even in the left, murder, discrimination and racism can exist.

      People just choose to think their position is ideal and the opposition is flawed. This type of brainwashing is disgusting.

        Correct, and my point was that they can’t. If you view everyone as equal you can’t make yourself a dictator. You can lie to yourself about your value, most people do for better or worse. But if everyone is equal you can’t decide to boost one group over another. Or if you do decide that is better and you deserve to be in charge, then your views have shifted right. That is my understanding of left vs right in it’s most basic form.

      Yeha, tell that to the North Korean God, Kim, who rises above everyone while keeping everyone else equal.
