Depends.

2019-01-09 00:51:59 UTC  

I'd say I'm a little bit more Authoritarian than Libertarian.

2019-01-09 00:52:26 UTC  

What don't you like about Right Wing Populism?

2019-01-09 00:53:24 UTC  

The fact that it opposes Immigration. Sometimes, a nation's population cannot handle alone. Immigration from several countries could help the nation grow.

Plus, I have observed a few right-wing populist parties in Europe, and they're terrible.

2019-01-09 00:54:01 UTC  

Most of them.

2019-01-09 00:54:07 UTC  

This may come off odd, but are you rather young, @Koninos? Typically people of that age change ideology a lot

2019-01-09 00:54:15 UTC  

It's more towards harmful immigration, like you see in Europe today with the African and Middle Eastern "refugees' coming en masse.

@Diadochi I'm young. I'll turn 17 soon.

2019-01-09 00:55:25 UTC  

Do you have any religious values?

2019-01-09 00:55:44 UTC  

I used to be an Orthodox, now I'm more like an Agnostic.

2019-01-09 00:55:56 UTC  

I’m sorry to hear that.

2019-01-09 00:56:06 UTC  

May I ask why you lost your faith?

2019-01-09 00:56:06 UTC  

I believe that there *is* a god, but no current religion is convincing enough.

2019-01-09 00:56:10 UTC  

Ah, well, in the case that you're young, don't expect to settle on anything soon. And if you do, expect to change down the road. I'll point you to a G.K. Chesterton quote: *"The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid."* Just keep learning and take wherever your peers point you to with a grain of salt.

2019-01-09 00:56:30 UTC  

@Diadochi Thank you.

2019-01-09 00:56:54 UTC  

And don't settle on something because you feel an obligation to, which it sounds like you do

2019-01-09 00:58:21 UTC  

I'll work that out.

2019-01-09 00:58:24 UTC  

Thank you.

2019-01-09 00:58:56 UTC  

Maybe you should check out Reaganism or Thatcherism, very similar. They are a little libertarian but those ideas were great for economic growth.

2019-01-09 00:59:18 UTC  

All right, thank you.

2019-01-09 01:00:28 UTC  

Do you dislike any particular political beliefs?
