The world isn't a binary choice between either left or right.

The overwhelming majority of the world operates in the grey middle which is what is codified into policies, laws, precedents, standards, norms etc. And much of it is universal across the world e.g. the concept of professional conduct in companies.

Obviously. I'm just talking about the current state of affairs.
That's the current state of affairs from your viewpoint.

Which if you're seeing it through a left/right prism is flawed.

Because my point is that most people don't see the world this way.

There something true about it though. People see the world through “my tribe, not my tribe”. Left vs right. Islam vs non-Islam. West vs non-west. Sunni vs Shia. etc.
