I'm used to thinking of right as conservative, and pro-freedom, while the left is more progressive and pro-restriction. However, if their left matches with our right, and their right matches with our left, we should say as much, not just say they sat on the oposite side of the room because of what we are used to.<br /> | | ::::I don't pretend to know everything, but right and left and directions and that seems to be all.

He himself has admitted that he doesn't even bother to read some political things, because he doesn't agree. However, he has put a lot of work in on math and science aspects, and has done plenty of proof-reading. I don't agree with his argument in this case, but changing this would not be some kind of "conceding to his liberal aspirations" but an improvement in a accuracy, as I see it. If we're getting all tied up in knots over this, I'm sure other people are too (just look at all the [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Was+the+nazi+partiy+right-wing+or+left-wing&t=ffab barely and poorly answered questions] out there). If we can explain the source of this confusion and answer the basic question, we'd be in a pretty good place, it seems to me.
