I could never get behind LGBT stuff

So you were culturally 'moral' and right wing (for the sake of conversation), but thought more leftist?

I was obsessed with muh natives, BLM, islamophobia, that kind of stuff

I always thought trannies were mentally ill

so, yes, you could say that

I flip flopped a lot when I was younger though

Sounds like an intellectual mix, "I thought _____ was okay, but not ______"

Thinking something is right/wrong is intellectual disagreement

my political views have generally been all over the place throughout my life

I don't even know what you would call my ideology at some points

I can get that. I didn't either. Most youth are lying when they say they are X

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 after studying China more, I've realized how damn awful Soc/Com is

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
