what's interesting is, back then being liberal was the countercultural position. that's flipped now
@thr33 you're 32 I'm guessing?
31
turn 32 in late oct
"what's interesting is, back then being liberal was the countercultural position. that's flipped now"
yep, I've met a lot of people like you here in NYC
who mentioned how they were comfortable with the left back then
but not now
i grew up in a generally conservative area a little upstate. then went to college in CA, and it really made me rethink things
i still voted for obama in 08, but became a skeptic in the liberal worldview before 2012
probably around 2010 i think
i'm an independent still, but i can't see myself voting for another dem. they're so bad on immigration now
I've only become more radical
i'm more moderate on econ (skeptical of the welfare state/high taxes, but not 100% for the free market/trade; i think govt intervention is ok), but i think a lot of liberal positions across the board don't stand up to scrutiny
it's absolutely insane watching these scotus confirmation hearings
Went from religious conservative when I was a kid to centrist to libertarian to classical liberal to alt-right to paleocon to theocrat
Economics to me is whatever helps the nation, that's all there is too it. Pragmatic outlook on it
So in essence, I did a bit of a loop
You do know "alt-right" was a fed-media psy-op meant to demoralize people?
it was a different time
i'm not religious, but i've changed a bit. i was a militant atheist in my teens, now i'm an agnostic, but i'm pro judeo-christian values and their importance in founding the west
At first it was anyone on the "right" that was "non-neocon"
the right to me was always synonymous with the religious right and neocons. at some point that changed
i think it was palin/the tea party
and I'm not in that anymore
Then the media cleverly crafted and psychologically conditioned it with the aid of the fed-honeypot men that headed "Alt-Right" things plus the fake break up with the "Alt-lite" yea
i had never heard of the alt-right in any serious way before that retarded speech clinton made about pepe and shit
i mean the term alt-right
it was an irony thing
"Went from religious conservative when I was a kid to centrist to libertarian to classical liberal to alt-right to paleocon to theocrat"
a theocrat?
Theocrat, by that he probably means Clerical Fascist
basically /pol/-tard stuff, bit younger and more impressionable
something like that
were any of you guys ron paul fans?
publicly still paleocon and all
have you read Codreanu?
i wasn't a supporter but i thought he had legit grievances
I've read a few pages of For My Legionaries but I've been busy
Ron Paul is one of the only good libertarians
Good book from what I've read
