What do "left" and "right" mean to you?

[RainDog]

64. you don't understand what I have said, apparently

because, yes, I talked about how the game is rigged - and noted that this simple fact negates the validity of the term "winner" for someone with economic advantage.

guess what? there's nothing the 1% want more than for you to equate the left with losers. this is a sure way to drive insecure males to embrace their winning status by aligning with those who don't, in fact, share much of anything with those same males. this was, in fact, Reagan's propaganda pitch, and why so many white males voted for him.

I am saying that, rhetorically, your frame is negative if you want to drive progress toward greater economic equality through those things, as noted above, that create this equality - which is through taxation of wealth (which, btw, Reagan did, but didn't admit - Reagan raised taxes - something that current rightwingers conveniently forget.)

but, guess what? there is more to life than money or how much of it you accumulate.

that's a reality that is addressed with the concept of economic human rights and justice and the social safety net.

you don't seem to be able to frame a coherent argument to support your preference for terms that frame economic circumstances in terms of playground machismo. instead, you ignore what I have said and pick a sentence out of context to claim something that doesn't exist within my argument here.
