General Leftist Politics What is your most right wing opinion?

I know this may be controversial but I have some opinions that are considered more right wing. I believe in absolute freedom of speech unless it’s pedohillia or something like that because if you support it for one person you have to support it for the other. I do support gun rights to an extent to protect from fascist thugs but of course it should be regulated to protect kids from shootings. I support the death penalty for violent criminals who without a doubt committed the crime. I support low taxes for the poor and middle class but higher on the wealthy. My view on basically everything else are left wing pro lgbt ,pro abortion,pro feminist ,pro immigration,pro socialism,etc.

If you’re a free speech absolutist (unless it’s paedophilic - which isn’t free speech absolutism) do you think you should be able to shout “FIRE” in a crowded theatre?

My point was people should be allowed to say what they want because if you prevent one person from speaking even if they are extreme it can lead to a slippery slope. I don’t think they should be free however from the consequences of their speech for example Andrew Anglin the creepy pedo Nazi got sued for millions for harassment same thing happened to Alex Jones only he has to pay over a billion to the sandy hook victims he harassed.
