Opinion dictatorship

Just today, I read the legendary saying on Facebook again, according to which anyone who wants to know who rules them should ask themselves who they are not allowed to criticize. Yes, who is that? In my opinion: the “leftists”! Anyone who criticizes the ‘leftists’ is considered a “right-winger” and thus a villain.

The Wikipedia page on Argentine President Javier Milei states: He is considered ultra-liberal, ultra-conservative, and right-wing populist. It should be noted that until recently, only “ultra-conservative” and “right-wing populist” were mentioned. It is thanks to a single courageous Wikipedian that the word “ultra-liberal” was added and backed up with a quote proving that this description is accurate. This attribution of the label “right-wing” simply because someone is not what the “left” imagines them to be is typical of the left-leaning authorities.

It is also often said that it is mainly the “rich” who are right-wing. In reality, this is only because the rich can more easily afford to hold dissenting political views. After all, they do not need to worry about being fired or disadvantaged when looking for a job.
