There's a very simple litmus test for whether an idea is right or left of center. If someone is trying to convince you that you have more agency than you think, it's rightist. If they're trying to convince you that you have less agency than you think, it's leftist. Both bad.

You should have accurate calibration of how much agency you have, which is obviously going to vary by the position you have in society, so right off the bat, anyone trying to push a generic message trying to drive the agency estimate up or down has a societal agenda

"You are more powerful than you think" = "I have to do less for you to get what you're owed"

"You are less powerful than you think" = "You should do what I tell you to get more"
