You wanna know some fucked up shit? The origins of “left wing” and “right wing” originated from the French Revolutionary era, where commoners (who opposed) sat on the left of the king, and aristocrats (who supported) sat on the right.

I’m sure it’s also completely coincidental that someone who can be absolutely trusted is your “right hand man.” This shit is part of our cultural legacy, and if you don’t know history, you don’t know how insidious it is.

In Ancient Latin, sinistra simply meant left or left handed. It was much later, when Latin became the language of the Catholic Church, that the word took on the connotation of evil.

wasn't there also the whole "there's no such thing as toilet paper: so wipe with your left, greet with your right" ? I was taught that in high school and college, but I'm old and those "facts" might be outdated
