<<<no matter how much people want to call things "right" and "wrong", there really isn't any right or wrong wrt how you want society to be- it's just about what kind of world/society you want to live in.>>> Style is one thing and substance is something else. People, as a rule, get wiser as they grow older. They are able to sort out style from substance. But, there are a lot of people that do not get wiser as they grow older. But, over the long term, maybe more than a generation or two, maybe after many generations "right" wins over "wrong". You can see the direction that civilization is heading. War is wrong and will be on it's way out. People killing people is wrong. It is on the way out. Judging people superficially (by, race gender, or some other physical attribute) is wrong and is on its way out. Most primitive religious beliefs are wrong and they (although it may take more time) are on te way out. The theory of evolution is a better explanation of how the world works. The right wing is (for the most part) on the wrong side of where civilization is headed. There is "right" and "wrong". It is not about "style" or being politically chic.
