They call those people "radical right wing extremists" and "Nazis"

You'll have to get out of the "left" far enough to see the rest of the spectrum first. That's hard right now.

I’m not sure what you’re suggesting here, but there’s no way to confuse the side of the political spectrum that actually cares about all human suffering with the one that cynically doesn’t.

I am suggesting that the political spectrum is not just "the left, which cares about human suffering," and "the right, which does not".

Or maybe I'm just nuts and there's no one else that thinks individuals should have agency to decide whether they're suffering or how that suffering should be alleviated.

This is just question begging. You're assuming that they don't, which is false.
