It is true that left and right, Democrat and Republican labels have become rather meaningless. It is a mystery to me that many Dems now support wars and censorship, while many Reps oppose wars and censorship. I am neither a Dem or Rep. But my views are more libertarian and do lean a bit more conservative than they did in the past. For example, I don't think our government should allow - even sponsor - an invasion as we have at the Southern border.

Thanks for your comment, Janice. Like you, I don't identify with any of the parties. I think they're all under the control of the same financial powers, the real sovereigns of the country. To take your point on LIbertarianism, I find them credible on foreign policy and private conduct; utterly deranged on economics. In my mind, the economy needs MORE, not less, regulation. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
I think you're spot on about the left/right thing and the true spectrum of opinion on specific issues. I also think you've raised salient points on the European “far-right.”
Yes! You're so right about this! (Or should I say correct, not right?)
lol !! Thanks as always for commenting.
