I've jumped around on the political spectrum quite a bit
I believe what displaced me from the perspectives I once harbored was direct exposure to the doctrines which motivated the production of the propaganda I had been consuming throughout my younger years.
you inconsistent peice of shit, get somr principles
So, with this, it provided me context.
It's because whenever I realise I'm apart of an ideology I reject it
just three years ago when i was 16 i was most likely a socialist if i actually followed politics
So, this came with my first induction into Sociology, one of my majors when I first began attending college at 16, @Samaritan™.
now im a filthy centrist
Then, I got heavily into economics.
Along with civics.
It was like a cleansing wave washed over me.
she looked pathetic on that stage
I was into both also
Jeremy's one of those rite-whing extremists
I still debate whether centrism is real there is also an ideology at the top of the hierarchy of values
Radical right-wing. So radical I'm a Classical Liberal, and an Objectivist.

I almost guessed the latter
I'm a classical liberal, Jeremy, that makes us literally Nazis
Centrism doesn't exist, Sam.
Yeah my point
So far right, you have gone beyond and made it to the far left.
asking a child about politics is like expected your dog to know how to dance the can-can first try
I'm probably more economically left than Jeremy
But people like to debate it
The left and right fundamentally disagree, and to differentiate between the two, opting for centric policy that creates a fascist economy is incorrect.
We disagree on the value of self-ownership.
That is, arguably, the most important.
I don't feel like my politics are easy to nail down because they are influenced by multiple ideologies
thats a weird thing to say
i dont see how there can be a disagreement of self-ownership unless youre a fascist
Mind you, this is in the context of my country's domestic politics.
I’m mostly left except for immigration tbh
This is one of the first discussions about our actual politics I've had on this god forsaken server
I’m pretty much right wing on most issues
Oh and free speech and most economics
unless you're going to delineate left/right by socialism/capitalism, then left/right is a silly division
You likely are, @Eccles. To be clear, I'm for the separation of state and economy.
i dont like the thought of aligning with a group
