Left and right politics. Extreme right people don't want rights for the people.

And the extreme left wants rights for everyone and ensure everyone has time to sleep and hobbies, and universal healthcare! Ugh the audacity I want to go bankrupt after a visit to the hospital goddammit, that is freedom.

They are clearly the same.

Look, if I have to go bankrupt for visiting the hospital to make sure that all these "rainbow flag" groups can't corrupt our youth, that's what I'm going to do!

  • Conservatives, probably

They got that name because of the position of their seats in the national assembly after the French revolution. Those that were pro monarchy sat to the right, those that were opposed to the king having any say sat to the left.
