    I’m a childless right winger what now? His brain would probably explode.

      Why on earth would anyone choose to describe themselves as a “right winger” (unless you play hockey)?

      Are you insanely wealthy? Or do you just hate other people and like pulling the ladder up behind you?

        Because I believe free market capitalism works given that the government regulates the market to avoid market failures.

          That’s not right wing. Do not allow right wingers to hide in the shadow of your reasonable political views by assuming their identity. Call yourself a market capitalist, a liberal, or even a Reagan-era Republican if you believe that is what your views align to and are speaking in an American context, but don’t let yourselves be used to rehabilitate the image of the right wing. They will only take that as a permission structure to hold more and more heinous views while pointing at you and others like you and saying "see, we are reasonable people with serious political positions that deserve a voice at the table. They don’t represent you, so why give them leverage to claim that they do?
