Would it? Compared to Europe, sure. But I always had the impression that most of Asia skewed rather further right?
- bakuninsbart 4y agoThe American right is insofar an outlier as it is deeply distrustful of the state. Many conservative movements across the world tend to be more statist than their leftist compatriots. In general, right-left is a pretty insufficient category for classifying politics, something like milieu theory
- watwut 4y agoI think that just trying to project strict left-right dichotomy as contemporary American politics produced on other countries is already bad start. It is not something universal, it is being exported to some extend, but still. The aliances elsewhere and political splits dont copy America.
- Semaphor 4y agoI do agree with that.
- threatofrain 4y agoI imagine that conservatism across Asia looks very different than conservatism in the US; i.e., questions of trust in government, whether COVID is serious, or whether people should own guns.
