WHEN DID I ASCRIBE ALL CHANGE AS POSITIVE?!?!
Please quote where I did that?!?!
Not all leftwing g ideas are good ideas obviously, but all the good ideas will come out of the left..
Because they are the only ones proposing new ideas..
Right= tradition>change
Left= change> traditions..
The left has plenty of bad ideas.. it is too broad of a dynamic not to.

You should really get a dictionary and look up the terms left and right..
There is a reason you can apply that term to every culture and country in any age.
Because left=New change> traditions
Right= traditions >change..
Political parties can have both left and rightwing policies..
If the GOP ever decides “hey here is a brand new system no one has tried before” then that is a leftwing policy.
If the democrats want to return to an old system or keep the present one , then they are pushing a rightwing policy.
Name one conservative position that wants to go in a totally new direction ??
Name one conservative policy that isn’t sold as returning to some bygone era??
“Make America great AGAIN” again = bygone era.
The left thinks the past sucked and we need to find new and better ways to do things.. because it did and we do.
The right thinks there was some Eutopian time in The past when things were perfect.. there wasn’t.

If we look at just post-9/11 Right Wing terrorists are responsible for the most number of attacks. If we discount outliers (which is pretty much only the Pulse Nightclub shooting) then Right Wing terrorists are also responsible for the most number of terror related deaths.
Of course that doesn't even account for thwarted Right Wing terror plots. Just last year an Atomwaffen sect in Florida was busted for possessing explosives they were planning on using at a nuclear power plant. If they had succeeded it probably would have been the single worst terror attack in US history. But since it doesn't fit the narrative most people ignored it.
I have to say, I find it ridiculous that so many on this site tried to defend a Nazi driving a car into a group of people claiming it wasn't a terror attack; yet now many of those same people are claiming that Leftists saying mean things on the Internet is terrorism. Some people clearly don't have their priorities straight. Either that or they actually are Nazis.

Nationalist and Right Wing terrorists are the second deadliest group of terrorists by ideology and account for 219 murders and 6.6 percent of all terrorist deaths.
