I'm surprised that they weren't charged with hate speech or something like that.

These countries need more right leaning people. Otherwise, they'll just become some totalitarian hellhole where they'll have no liberty.

In my country, the current right wing government, who takes pride in not spending a single cent on retrieving the dead bodies of those killed during the right wing dictatorship of Franco, are the ones that have pushed laws like a Sun Tax or the nicknamed "Gag Law" that allows people to be fined up to 30K euros for doing evil things such as posting the image of a police car.

So no, more right wing isn't going to increase freedom.

Well the terms left wing and right wing are often used for the worst kind of politics.

Left wing governments are trying to control our language so we don't offend people. Its a nuisance when people demand this, but its a huge problem when people can go to jail for it.

In the US, the left has turned into a social justice crusade and many of their views simply don't hold water. They've gone so far I can't even take them seriously anymore.

Anecdotally, I know a lot of people who never discussed politics or had strong views. But in recent years, disdain for the left has become more common even if you don't necessarily like right wing policies.
