    tbf. those terms have evolved a lot since the French Revolution coined them.

    and given how fluid they are, in some conversations they might mean pure culture war issues like “THERE’S A TRANS FLAG IN COMIC BOOK MOVIE!!!”.

    but we can agree that in the bigger picture, left v right is about a top v bottom in power structures.
