"Left" or "Right" grouping is Western centric tho.
From my perspective as Indonesian, it's weird that Westerner lump politics into separate group instead working together for a solution that caters to everyone.
Maybe this will help: the left are the only ones that want to help everyone. The right wants to help themselves.
I still don't get actual "left" and "right" definition by Westerner.
For example, people that support native people to be protected from encrouchment of their forest, as well as unmitigated immigration that will drive out them will considered both "left" and "right" side from Westerner.
Some Westerner also often assume their solution of problem is "the best" while all I can see is further division of society.
Please elaborate.
Indonesian here too. Same I am as confused too. It makes political discourse here looks good
