In some European countries, this could be different, but I don't have any data on that
I vote left am I gay?
No, and voting left doesn't necessarily mean you're an SJW, I'm just saying that they tend to be overwhelmingly left leaning.
Groups like that
I mean the right has a majority of religious group which historically persecuted gays sooooo....
Yes, and I believe that's the reason
The same reason why Jews are afraid of the far-right
Sure
And the same reason why devout Christians oppose socialism
Communism is relatively safe to them.
right
Lenin legalized homosexuality in the Soviet Union, though Stalin made it illegal, and those after kept it illegal
It's illegal now though
Well, sort of
The act itself isn't illegal
You can do it in private, but no public displays and mention of it around children
Assuming we're both talking about Russia
Liberal 50 years ago isnt the liberal today
Right
I'm liberal of 40 years ago
I don't really know what I would call myself. I don't have a solid position on economics, but I know I don't believe in free markets, and I don't believe in communism.
I think capitalism works, but I don't like the culture runaway consumerism creates. At the same time, I also feel like too much regulation can make a group of people "soft."
I think the state has two main purposes:
1. To protect its people, from external and internal forces.
2. To protect the culture while ensuring happiness.
I don't believe in speech policing, because that's what got us to where we are now. I think the first amendment and free speech are very important and should be protected, though I also think the right to vote should be a privilege, not a right. It should be earned. How I would go about that, I'm not sure. The two ideas in my head are through some form of service (it doesn't have to be the military) or through owning property, as was initially intended for the United States. I don't like how politics is a game of demagoguery and narratives, I think it should be more than that.
I guess you could loosely say some of my beliefs fall in line with the founding fathers, but there's also several areas where I disagree.
You sound like a minarchyist
Especially in the economics area
I wouldn't call myself a minarchist
I'd say I'm far from it
Lol you'd be supprised
well, because I think some things should be regulated. I think the environment needs to be protected, and I'd be willing to sacrifice economic growth for that
I've also seen how big tech uses its power to push corporate censorship
and I would take measures to oppose that, because I believe businesses can take away someone's freedom.
For example
Places like twitter should be a public forum.
(which, it sort of was recently ruled to be one by a judge)
And when I say "public forum," I mean you should be able to discuss anything as long as you are not advocating for violence or anything that would take away infringe on person's rights
I'd refrain from the second half of that
Because they can advocate for it, which is where you counter it.
