I wonder a lot about the subcontext of people using "they" so much. In it's very essence it's so derogatory, but if you actually used the proper terminology would you just look insane?

Right Wingers have no intention to change or move a little bit left. As mentioned Right Wingers don't have any sort of remorse for the pain other suffers, only that Right Wingers got affected.

Like of course right wingers aren't going left..... they're right wingers (talking about categories of groups, not individuals). Right Wingers don't have remorse because they're a group, not an individual. Like you can pretend all "Left Wingers" have remorse (compassion)... but that's obviously not true. A lot of "Left Wingers" don't care if "right wingers" get hurt, only that they're coming after left wing groups....
