I don't know left from right -_-
Oct. 14th, 2017 11:06 pmIt's been twenty-four days since I have posted an entry (well, I say "twenty-four", I really mean "thirty-six"; my last entry wasn't so much an entry as it was a shitpost) - mainly due to a lack of inspiration - but now, it must be done, and it's going to be a long one. You have been warned.
The title of this entry refers to the left wing and the right wing. As I'm sure many people are aware, the left wing pertains to democracy and liberalism whereas the right wing is more slanted towards conservatism... or, at least, that's how it used to be. The right wing is pretty much the same as it was before, mayhaps worse since the election of Donald Trump (though he doesn't really seem to be up to much, thank goodness), but the left wing... well, I'm not sure how to sum it up in one phrase, so I'll give the two major examples.

You could argue that this entire entry is based on opinions... and, aside from the aforementioned statistical facts, I suppose it is. For that, I am not asking you to agree with me. All I am asking you to do is read this entry and view the relevant arguments from all angles, then form your own opinions. That's it. I believe that the points I have made in this entry are the most valid points I could have possibly made, but I know not all of you will feel this way. Really, I think I just needed to address the fact that the left wing has changed dramatically in recent years. If any one thing in this entry can be taken as fact, it's that. The left wing is certainly not what it used to be. Whether you see that as a good thing or a bad thing is for you to decide.
Hmm. How's about some sexy, jazzy J-rock to mellow this entry out a little?
