In 2023 the classic understanding of what is right and what is left have changed. The left now seems to define itself as whatever the governing elite societal conventional wisdom seems to be of the moment (as long as the classically understood to be leftist political party is in power) and they see the right is whatever runs contrary to that agenda. Much of the worldviews that are now being branded as right, alt-right, or “right adjacent” is nowhere near the historical understanding of right leaning political views, but because they now run counter to CW, the proper 2023 insult is to brand those things as “right”.
