Hello, Rob,
“What’s a “right wing” approach in your opinion”
Characteristically, the value of individualism, little concern for inequality, a survival of the fittest mentality and laissez fair economic views are advanced. And since conservatives in the U.S. are so frequently severely theoretically challenged individuals, I would suggest some recognition that their approach tends to advance one-sided arguments and to be very selective in the presentation of evidence and to have no interest in discussing how politics functions in modern society. Contrast this with progressive values and approach, and you will find that the characteristics are not a difference in degree but a difference in kind: the social priorities related to economic decisions, concerns about democracy, social justice, and equitable distribution of resources comes up more often.
“Is there a list of issues that you evaluate people’s positions on to decide”
The difference is not in the issues raised but rather the interpretation and proposed response to the issues. I made that clear in my previous comment but if you required even more clarity you now have the above.
“can you please identify a single major nation that “deserves” to get funds from the US or the EU because of the issue? Can you explain why you feel that way”
Americans might wish to think about how to use their resources wisely and about polices to support the vulnerable people within the U.S. – namely, people who are poor, and who cannot move away from risks using their own resources or absorb hardship from climate change without social welfare support.
The idea of who is “deserving” is a questionable one, but if you mean who needs help, the needs around assistance and aid are identified by people themselves; and the role for outside help involves a range of policy options that includes not only financial assistance but aid delivery systems that actually boost self-determination.
“Can you explain why you feel that way?”
Basically, I support this kind of crafting of progressive economic and trade policies with a focus on social priorities because these practices tend to promote humanitarianism, equitable distribution of assistance and opportunity, and shared responsibility-taking — which reflects my beliefs and an approach to resources and political power that I value.
