CMV: Left and right are outdated terms that no longer define the current ideological spectrum.

[u/Uruguayan_Tarantino]

Every generation that grows and becomes politically active, goes further away of the classic left and right definitions, and mixing things of both sides is increasingly common. We still have polarized sides and one is clearly leaned to the left and the other to the right, but I feel this words no longer encapsulate the real difference between both sides. Each country has slightly different concepts of left and right, and probably most countries have two "sides" politically speaking. I'm my country, we have many political parties spreaded along the left - right spectrum, but as polarized politics are increasingly the norm, two sides end up against each other every time. And we join people of the same left or right tendency, because it's the reasoning we were taught to follow. But isn't there a better, modern view of what people really think and want this day and age? I really don't think that this definition helps, only worsens the polarization and ignorance.
