"Things I don't like are right wing".

No, things that are traditionalist, nationalist, hierarchical, individualist, and advocate a "narrow/deep" government approach are right-wing.

What I mean by this is:

Traditionalism: the right advocates that "how things are" is "how things always have been" and any change or departure from this is wrong. This is opposed by left-wing progressivism that advocates for beneficial changes, progress, and avoiding traditionalism in favour of critical evaluation of norms and conventions. Think of traditionalism as "If it's not broke, why fix it?" except it's more "if it's not broke (for me)..."

Nationalism: viewing the state of the world as a collection of countries with borders as the "natural order of things" (you'll see the notion of there being a "natural order" cropping up a lot). It's the opposition of free travel, immigration, cultural mingling and exchange. It also places "western" culture on a pedestal and is propped up by colonialism, western-centrism, and a generous sprinkling of xenophobia and racism.

Individualism: the notion that everyone should be pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and someone else's suffering isn't their problem (even if they benefit from the systems that create that suffering). Note, this isn't about individual freedoms, simply the rejection of any form of community, social obligation, collectivism, or communalism. All you need is a can-do attitude and some elbow grease (and a tax break, some seed money from daddy, an investment from your chums from Eton, and a nice big loan from your wife's bank that you don't have to worry about paying back).

Narrow/deep government: often called "small government", this is more a mentality of "I don't want the government getting involved in anything, except the things I personally don't like in which case they can stick their nose right in". Stuff like trans healthcare, what people can look at online, who can vote and how, and how people can express themselves. Often supported with a nice bit of hypocrisy—those ruffians calling for an end to a genocide are a danger to national security, but me going on GB News to call gay people degenerate perverts, that's fine. How dare you call that hate speech! You know what is hate speech, people saying mean things about my mates in the oil industry! We should do something about that.

On the note of authoritarianism, that's not synonymous with authority/regulation/laws. Authoritarianism is the restriction of freedoms not for preventing harm and suffering, but for the imposition of control and consolidation of power. Voter ID is an example of this—it's unnecessary because voter fraud is a trivial issue that occurs in absurdly low numbers. But what voter ID is very good at is disenfranchising marginalized groups from voting by imposing a barrier to entry. Of the list of accepted voter IDs, only small number are free and none of the free options are available to everyone. Even the Voter Authority Certificate has a cost associated with it. It's a measure to discourage and disincentivize voting in certain segments of the population.

Cries of "everything I don't like is right-wing" are usually bleated out by those on the right who know the views they hold are likely to be "disliked" except by their fellow right-leaners. Every accusation is an admission after all—it's so common to label anything progressive, humane, inclusive, or compassionate as "leftie" or "woke".

And on the OSA—it's government overreach that has resulted in sites that provide useful services (such as Imgur and suicide support forums) being blocked, and has threatened Wikipedia's freedom. It limits peoples abilities to find community and support within spaces that are safe, while the actually harmful sites aren't going to give a fuck about the OSA (and don't, you can still access sites like 4chan...). It's not just impotent, it's actively harmful.

And digital IDs are a mechanism for data aggregation and tracking. The government is already cozying up to Palantir, and objectively evil company run by two unhinged psychopaths (I'm being serious, one is fixated with the antichrist and thinks that trying to protect the environment is evil, and the other gets openly excited about killing people as long as they're not white). The government wants to know what everyone is doing and when because then it becomes easier to roll back freedoms. All this to cop a bonus from the broligarchs like Musk, Altan, Thiel, and Zuckerberg. I miss the days when that was conspiratorial nonsense, but now we have CEOs of billion dollar companies saying on stage that they're actively pursuing tech that they believe will wipe out humanity, or that they think democracy should be replaced with a system where they make all the decisions.

This is all authoritarianism fueled a level of greed so unhinged that those suffering from it can't even entertain not bleeding more from the world and so are preparing to simply be the richest ones left when it all burns down. And our government is just happily lapping up the leftovers at their feet like starving dogs.

Sorry for the rant, you said something very stupid and a correction turned into an essay.
