(for the ideological turing test)

I have tried to make my argument as neutral as possible, giving both sides of the arguments and avoiding depreciating any,

Let's try from both directions then (personally am a leftist).

Left side, I think so, I definitely think societal influence (amongst other things out of the individual power such as genetics) trumps individual choices, I also saw this opinion amongst friends and intellectuals so I am not alone in this, not everybody on the left think like this though.

Right side, my model of the right is not as good as I'd like, but i have seen it expressed in various places. Again it does not concern all the rightists neither is the main point for everyone.
