     Are you sure that you can apply modern standards of left or right wing to the late 1600s? It seems that as you go that far back and you apply postmodern views to enlightenment era events, you end up with a lens distorted by the events that came since.

     I think there's good in both impulses, the problem is going too far. Here's an example of RW extremism imo:

     "without left-wing indoctrination"

     are you ok with right-wing indoctrination? most people don't want any indoctrination so when you single out the left, it implies you're further right than most people. and since most people are slightly right or slightly left, you're farther right than most right-wing people.

     but whatever. all these terms are unnecessarily divisive. just please don't claim the mainstream are the only ones playing this game.

     for sure left and right have less meaning than conservative vs progressive, but I think those impulses are consistent. moreso depends on which side is the establishment at a given time.
