But the question we must ask ourselves when this question is raised is: <strong>and what do we call \"right\"?<\/strong> I say this because for some time now some have included in that bag politicians and the media who defend <strong>approaches that are indistinguishable from the dogmas of the left<\/strong>, such as the defense of abortion, gender ideology and the renunciation of our national sovereignty in favor of increasingly less democratic international organizations.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there are parties that declare themselves \"centrist\" and that now only remember the word \"right\" when asking for the vote. Basically,<strong>they want left-wing voters to support them because of their ideas and right-wing voters to support them because of their initials<\/strong>, as is the case with the PP in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The one on the right is not a unique case. <strong>Sometimes they also talk to us about so-called \"conservatives\" who in reality are not<\/strong>, indiscriminately identifying with that term all those who are not likely to be labeled \"progressive\", although in reality they adopt their own approaches from the left. <strong>Worse still is the case of the term \"liberal\"<\/strong> (understood as classical liberal), which has become a drawer in which everything fits and is used without modesty by many who support anti-liberal recipes that violate fundamental rights such as freedom of expression. education and religious freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously,<strong> the use of political labels can serve as a guide, but it should not lead us to accept being given a poke in a poke.<\/strong> Calling a party that defends abortion or gender ideology \"right\" simply because the party itself implies so, <strong>it would be as absurd as believing that the German Democratic Republic was really a democratic country<\/strong>, when in truth it was a brutal communist dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p>In these times when relativism confuses everything <strong>we must make an effort not to be fooled by the manipulation of certain words<\/strong>. And at the same time, we must bear in mind that sometimes the content is more important than the labels. Being from the right and declaring myself a conservative-liberal, <strong>I would feel more in tune with a socialist who rejects abortion than with a supposed conservative who supports that atrocity.<\/strong> Similarly, I would feel more in tune with a traditionalist who respects and defends fundamental rights than with a supposed \"liberal\" who supports abortion and the laws that serve to impose gender ideology.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, <strong>I consider myself a patriot, but I don't simply feel related to anyone who declares himself that way<\/strong>, especially if, for example, that patriot supports Russia violating the sovereignty of an independent country like Ukraine. In the same way,<strong> being an anti-communist does not make me sympathize even remotely with fascists or Nazis who also use that label<\/strong>, and who defend ideas as far removed from my views as communist ideas are.<\/p>\n<p>In short: <strong>we must start paying more attention to principles, ideas and proposals than to labels.<\/strong> If we don't, we run the risk of being used, misled and betrayed as Some politicians, parties and the media have already done so many times.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/es\/fotos\/X2bcQMMhaow\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Ruggiero \/ Unsplash<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our society we are witnessing a constant emptying of the meaning of many words, often in order to manipulate consciences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10863],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-reflexions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50133"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50133\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
