"Not really, left and right refers to economics. You are talking about authoritarianism vs libertarianism. Currently, the US is under the control of the authoritarian right and we are facing increasing crackdowns." I mean, I really ought to know better by now not to engage with people who've already displayed such a shocking level of ignorance as you just did, but oh well I have some free time so ... "🤦♂️ this really shows me how little you know what you are talking about... You realize that George Orwell was a democratic socialist, right?" Yes I know, and if you took the time to read "A Life in Letters" or his diaries as I have you would know from those letters that he wrote extensively to like minded contemporaries who were unhappy he wrote those scathing critiques of Socialism and Progressivism to explain that while his ideology fell along those lines he was acutely aware of not only its propensity toward authoritarianism and threats to individual liberties, but its role in the emergence of Fascism in Europe and the horrors of Stalinism that he had a front row seat to. You might actually want to read what Orwell has to say on the matter before you go parroting the Progressive propaganda you were spoon fed by your dip-shit, lying, Progressive college professors: https://www.amazon.com/George-Orwell-Life-Letters-Hardcover/dp/B01181JSNO George will explain it to you himself better than I ever could. "This is literally delusional. Meta especially explicitly favors far right content." I mean, I don't even know where to start with that pile of horseshit. If you believe that, you are completely detached from reality and beyond reason. I'll bet you're one of those who thinks the label Progressive has something to do with vague notions of "progress" rather than the rejection of the individual rights as outlined in the Bill of Rights and a move towards collectivism and central control it and PROGRESS beyond the obstacles of the US Constitution ... right?
