@SW-User LOL. I'm joking but I'm not.
I just find it frustrating how some people see the truth as always being in the middle. The committed centrist thing of both sides being equally bad and the best human beings as 'bi-partisan'. My views are based on my values and understanding of the world. If that puts me in a box, so be it.

@Burnley123 As a sociology student I have found that my research and the research of many others in my field came to conclusions that fit into a left wing view of the world.

@SW-User I studied the same subject, many moons ago. The whole point of sociology is to understand the power dynamics at play in society. Whether its empirical evidence of qualitative analysis, the results show the same thing.
The right use of emotions and what feels right (ironically analysable by post-modernists lolz). When the right wants to show power operating against their interests, all they can manage are evidence-free conspiracy theories.

@SW-User @Burnley123 I am fully convinced that true center is what our friends on the right call left.

@LordShadowfire The true centre of public opinion is generally left of where politicians and media consider it to be. The right also points to anyone not them as extreme (to psychologically project their own extremism).
Having said that, I am to the left, whichever way you cut it.

@LordShadowfire I mean the political scale is a very abstract and broad attempt of meassuring political allignment but I do think you make a point there.
In the end politics is just a response to our environment and the question is who is closer to recognizing structures, problems and solutions in society.
