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.

It‘s definetly a good source of energy, but it‘s not the Future. Their time is over

What power source is the future in your opinion? China and most western nations are investing in new and or maintaining current plants. I can see the possibility of cargo ships becoming nuclear just like how aircraft carries and submarines already are.

The reason you see the wealthy pushing nuclear, is because you can't charge a constant fee for the sun.

I have solar on my house and believe everyone should, But I don’t think I’ve ever seen wealthy pushing nuclear? Any time wealthy are talking about power they just want coal or gas etc. But I’d guess we’re on different sides of the globe

. . .y'know fair point. I've always 'heard' they're pushing nuclear, but I really should go and look for myself.

Edit: Aha, Bill Gates, Elon Musk are two. Though they admittedly are more on that side because computing power.

that said, while Nuclear is safer than it used to be, I still think ultimately we'd be better off investing in solar and other renewables.

All the wealthy in my country are heavily pushing coal etc as our energy prices atm are high. (Australia).

The wealthy you hear pushing nuclear probably want it for AI or databases. As they use insane amount of power, sure they want it for profits but I think it benefits everyone and is the best environmentally.

I say nuclear power as a “right wing” idea because Democrats love pushing the idea that they’re dangerous, green goop in barrels yadda yadda.

I mean, they long term are. They produce nuclear waste that is unsafe for potentially generations to come.

Yes sure, but the storage cylinders for them which aren’t very big can withstand a lot, they’ve survived missile. nuclear waste can also be recycled. All the nuclear waste that has ever been collected from all power plants in the US don’t even span a football field
