I was far right (looking back) but then succumbed to lefty morals after some years of being worn down. Then came back when I became Christian--but even then spent a long time burning the old ways out
I've always been concerned more with the cultural aspect than the intellectual
At first I was pro free college and healthcare, anti redistribution of wealth, anti LGBT, and abortion, but also believed America oppresses minorities
(a very lefty thing to do, that's why the right has lost the cultural war)
Then I was libertarian
Then ancap
I had a few weeks as a libertarian, lol
then I reverted to my original position
The natural process of internal debate
A sign of intellectual health, imo
then I was nationalist for Europe but not America
That's bizarre, lol
then I became nationalist for America, too, and switched my economic views to copy Trump
I've always been an American nationalist and have always cared little for Europe
That's changing, slowly (Europe is hard to love, they get stomped every year by EU)
My most recent transition is I shifted left economically
and yes I agree with you
is healthy to debate internally
I'm further left economically than I was before (but I never cared/thought about economics before)
My position was always "if we can just stop ruining our lives with our behavior, I don't care how much you tax us"
But also that capitalism *needs* regulation
I think I was just an edgy kid and had a grudge on America tbh
I knew nationalism was logically better
Lol, that's funny. It's fun to hear the exact opposite of how I got here
I just thought America was a colonial state that "had it coming"
In high school, I remember hating Macy's bc they had a red star as a logo, lol
But then I went and partied
I'm an American Monarchist with Cowboyism economic policies
Cowboyism... I wanna hear about that
let me find the pic
I might be down with that
Monarchy, though? No way, Jose
yeah, I'm not really sure what I actually am. It's constantly developing
>tfw think am edgy but end up middle ground
I'm actually very modest on most policies outside of behavioral/cultural
*moderate
I don't really like taxes
I'm down with giving money collectively so that services that benefit the whole/folk work
Problem is, our services suck no matter what
