I can however see the fallacy that makes people believe that the show must be right-wing for opposing the extremist egalitarian ideology defended by Starlight Glimmer (which, admittedly, can be likened to left-wing values), while ignoring the gallery of other villains that have also been defeated, including selfish, autocratic tyrants such as Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, or even Trixie (remember those very fascist-looking banners that were hanging in the town square when she styled herself as dictator of Ponyville?), or greedy entrepreneurs like the Flim-Flam brothers or Gladmane, all of which could themselves be viewed at right-wing.
As someone in the politics thread pointed out, everything involves politics in some way or another and it has always been this way. Honestly, it's those who pick apart every recent cultural work they can get their hands on in search of any faint trace of possible politicization to complain about that ought to shut it.
You don't want politics in your entertainment? Then stop looking for the political aspect of things and let us enjoy it in peace!
