| Social Justice Warriors - The left believes that instead of Justice (equality of opportunity), we need "Social Justice" (government force, in inequity) to make the world more "fair" and to make up for past inequalities. Handicap the smart, fleet, or rich, to try to force equality of outcome. Thus they wrongly see those that disagree as advocates for injustice/inequality. They miss that replacing an economic meritocracy, with a political or victimhood based one, didn't fix anything, it just changed who the winners/losers were. |
Realist - The right believes that humans are generally good and don't need force as their only motivator (persuasion works). They also believe that in order to teach people, they need to be able to make the wrong choices (and learn from mistakes, and pay the consequences). So they want equality of opportunity and teaching the culture, and local governance to allow geographic/cultural diversity instead of criminalizing/taxing/regulating everything from the top. This puts them to the right of the left wing, but they're still far from the right of the SJW<->Hedonist spectrum. .

Hedonist - The left thinks the right is hedonist, anything goes in imaginary capitalism. But that's reductio ad absurdum: the right just believe in slightly less Government than the left does (and slightly more local). Then the right gives more in taxes and charity than the left does. There are virtually no true hedonists because most humans value helping others. Studies have shown there's no evidence that the left is any less selfish or hedonistic than the right, and the left in America is incarcerated at a far higher rate (which the left blames on racism or poverty instead of morals/values). |
