      Far right people (MAGA) are so distant from the actual center that they see every leftist as far left. Yes, there are actual far-left communities (especially on Lemmygrad.ml) but the bulk of Lemmy leans mildly left-wing, especially by European standards.

        Western Europe is left wing, globally. That’s a very west-euro-centrist attitude you have.

          The perception that Western Europe is “left-wing” globally might oversimplify complex political landscapes and reflect a Eurocentric viewpoint. While Western Europe might lean left relative to some countries, this does not necessarily make it a global standard for left-wing politics. It’s important to recognize that political spectrums are not uniform worldwide, and perspectives on what constitutes “left” or “right” can vary dramatically depending on cultural, social, and economic contexts.

            Okay, just for the sake of easy communication, can we agree that left/right wing refers to the usual western definitions?

            And if so, can we agree that western Europe is pretty left wing?

              Yes, although the definition is not the issue but the false balance is

              No, because that depends on perspective and Europe is also not a single country.

              Your point is taken, but considering all of this your point becomes narrow, and that’s why it’s important to raise this context in this circumstance.

                I’m not ignoring you, I just don’t really think this is going anywhere.

                Half of the world is China and India. Add in the rest of Asia, Africa, and South America, the world is pretty right wing. Hell, even basic stuff like gay marriage is illegal in most of the world.
