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

@thr33 I've never been a liberal

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

@thr33 I'm not a Libertarian, but he said some good stuff

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

my main issue with most libertarians is they're pro-open borders

rand is actually surprisingly good on the issue
