I'm not religious though, although I find Blonde trying catholicism inspiring. I think the catholic church is kind of fucked though right now

Lmaaaaaaaao

Blonde said hell nah

I try not to presume that other people share my values

Having family that actually escaped communism, and realtives that can honestly say things like "...it was better under the Nazis..." without irony insulated me from Leftist thinking, I guess.

Tends to backfire rather catastrophically

Wow, damn, son!

That's probably true Beemann.

"Omg living under the Nazis was horrible" - Invited all of Africa into their country immediately after the war

I don't see much point either in going Catholic when I'd instantly be at odds with the commie pope.

exactly

Me too.

I was moderate left by base assumption/integration with surrounding social groups, then got heavy into ancapism, then built it back up to Hayek level basically

But I kept the same base values

I was a bernie bro

then I found `economics`

It's just that I figured my current thought process wasn't the way to achieve that

So a Berniebro right up until Bernie sold out to the DNC for his third house?

Can't be Protestant like my ancestors who FOUGHT the Catholics for CENTURIES, because now all the denominations are run by faggot pedophiles.

The way I'd describe the experience was when Trump won, the curtains came down, and everything immediately sucked. Every leftist show sucked. Comedy sucked.

My immediate family was never especially religious and but my neighbours were. No idea what denomination. Just incredibly nice people. Wasn't for me though

Welcome to The Suck.

Oh you didnt watch it slide into shit?

I can't even be an evangelical because they're such crazy hard-core Zionists.

Was always Libertarian until I realized I hate most Libertarians. "Muh roads. Muh Open Borders." Fucking retards.

@Chet Nick y u BoOlIN mEH

Yeah, I used to like Caplan, but I can't accept a libertarian reason for open borders.

You leave muh roads out of this you monster!

I was watching it slide into the shitpile for years before Trump showed up

Open Borders is a rejection of property rights.

Also the Open Borders argument makes more sense once you have the system in question

Because then people who own land determine who crosses it, and there's no gibs

It doesnt make *any* sense **now**

I was more or less libertarian until my Trump-inspired turn toward protectionism in 2015.

It's also silly to suggest that libertarian must = open borders, since border protection is a base value of the state

If you don't have borders, you don't have a nation.

open borders benefit corportations.

corporations*

that's a coming from the left opinion

If you rely on individual property owners to "do the right thing", ditto.
