Seriously... left, right, none...

Does it really matter? Isn't it all just groups of brainwashed human individuals vying for influence and power? Resources and territory?

I mean this whole political stance thing (from an intelligent POV anyway) seems pretty foolish, no?

Isn't it all really "one side wins, another side loses"? Do you really think you're smarter than your foes?

Because, unlike you, we got over our love of The Matrix when it was still the 20th century?

As an aside, the RiffTrax riffing of The Matrix by Michael Nelson and Kevin Murphy is reasonably good.

Since politics is not a zero-sum game, no.

It's negative sum. When wealth is transferred from the poor to the elites, a lot of it is basically destroyed.
