I just learned that in Spanish-speaking countries in South America, their version of “righty tighty, lefty loosy” is “la derecha oprime y la izquierda libera”, which literally translates to “the right oppresses and the left liberates”.

That, my friends, is the most dead-on mnemonic that has ever been thought up.

@OGjester sorry to say that there isn't actually a widely used equivalent to this in latam. "righty tighty, lefty loosy" is a very english phrase. "la derecha oprime y la izquierda libera" IS a thing, but it's not a household saying the same way it is in english. it's a recent thing, almost entirely used as a meme amongst latam leftist.

...that being said. i've definitely used it with friends before 🤣 i've always wanted it to become more popular! lol

@viralvulpes I must have heard this from a genuine leftist, then… I like it so much, I taught it to my kids, and I’ll use it until the end of my days.
