Etymology of Rightness

[rupol2000]

It is now generally accepted that this came from the French parliament, but I find this version laughable. Even the ancient Aryans had the concept of Rta, which meant the right way. Knights had this root, in Slavic languages knight is "ritsar", this is the same as "righter", Reiter. And chivalry was right-wing as much as possible. Everything that is correct in ancient languages was called this word, rightness was called that, and it seems that it was opposed to "justice". Rightness vs "Justice".

It's just one of those things that stuck like majority republican states being called "red".

Was that supposed to have a POINT?

Nope.
The media decided that the GOP would be red....because if they called Democrat states Red States it might tip off the fact that they're communists.

i'm neither a language or history scholar Rup

so i guess i'll take yer word for it.....

I do not quite understand, you mean what is the point in this? If so, then the point here is in studying traditions and building the correct model of a right-wing society, which should combine freedom, masculinity, personality and right-wing morality, which corresponds to a romantic view of the world.
For example, the modern right tends to focus on monetary values, but monetary values are not the values of the right world.

Where did it come from? Why are they called that?

In general, this is best avoided, it creates a confusion with the left-wing communists. It looks like a roguish trick on the part of the Democrats.

 

[rupol2000]

By the way, the word "reiter" could come from "right arya". In vedic it could be something like "rtaarya"
Phonetically, it coincides, and the endings "ya" are naturally reduced, they apparently turned into postfixes ar-er.
"rtaarya" could be the prototype of the "tsar" and "ceasar"
And "kshatra", this usually translated just as "rightful king"
There are variations everywhere only in the alternation of the first consonants between t-ts-c-ksh, and the rest is identical

It used to be switched. The GOP used to be blue and the dims red.

But you are right, they switched it for that reason.

 

[rupol2000]

it is quite obvious that the Vedic Rta was transformed into Arta, why is not clear, but it has the same meaning. The Bactrian kings and Achaemenids were called artaxerxes, this is exactly the righteous king.

 

[rupol2000]

the word rational of the same root.

 

[rupol2000]

ritual

 

[rupol2000]

The Rta is always interpreted as the right divine order, but we do not know exactly what the essence of this principle is, that is the problem. What is clear is that it categorically rejects lies.

BTW "left" and "lie" also could common root

 

[rupol2000]

The Vedic rishis are obviously literally righteous. Rishis are usually presented as Vedic hymns. Rita is also a variant of Rta
The "Rishi" in IAST ṛṣi

Usually translated as sage and seer

 

[rupol2000]

Elizarenkova speaks about 2 important points:
Rta is never equated with anything, and Rta spawns gods to support it

 

[rupol2000]

It is interesting to compare Rta with its opposite. The immediate opposition to Rta is anrta, chaos. Also there was the goddess Nirrti (doom).

All this can be considered an analogue of chaos and its forces.

It is interesting here that in chthonic cults, Chaos is the basis, but in vedism all is the opposite, chaos lies on the periphery of Rta and is secondary to both Rta and the gods who support it.

In other words not Chaos (Tiamat, the feminine principle, the mother of chthonic beings) gave birth to the Cosmos, but on the contrary, Chaos deviated and moved away from the Cosmos. The Aryan Cosmos is large and strong, the chaos is small, but terrible

Before the 2000 presidential election television coverage had the incumbent in blue and the challenger in red. It took so long to settle that one with George W. Bush, the republican, shown in red that it just stuck. Nothing complicated or sinister. They started saying red and blue states as a matter of convenience and no one seemed to object.

Neutral By-Products of Modernization

The same Illiterate Liberal Language Lords took the dishonest and misleading (even to Conservatives) word "pollution" from a superstitious pagan ritual. That is more evidence that the Liberal mob has degenerated to a Stone Age mentality.

The uninhibited development of Nature is what creates class mobility. Those born at the top see that as a threat.

it looks like it was a preplanned scenario of the left

Nope. If the republicans had a problem with it I never heard a peep. To a conspiracy minded paranoiac like yourself it must be terribly disappointing to learn something is not an evil plot.
