When I was in high school I was a super liberal and fancied myself a communist. Now I am 32 and as the years tick by I become richer and more fiscally conservative, since honestly I am selfish and don't want the government to take my money. Doubly so now that I have kids and want to stretch my dollars as far as they can go. A sad and honest story. Also I still think that history is a tale of class struggle, even though I am finding myself on the opposite class that I started from!

I started kinda liberal, but I've gotten more liberal as I've gotten older. Not extreme liberal, just a small shift left. I don't know if that';s because I now understand politics better, or that the US right has gone batshit crazy since I first started voting in the mid-1990s.

TEAYCHES posted:yea but what about morality and ethics Still super liberal when it comes to ethics and morality, no worries there. I think back in the day they had "Rockefeller Republicans" which supported the New Deal and Unions back in the '60s. If they still existed I guess I'd be one of them!

I'd say that I am socially liberal and growing increasingly fiscally conservative, but I wouldn't say that I have evolved into a "fiscal conservative" as of yet - just that momentum seems to be moving in that direction.

0-11: No ideology. 11: Muslims bad. 14-17: Conservative, both economically and socially. I used to think it was such a shame that women did not like to be housebound. Because otherwise the society of the 50`s would have been a pretty great time to recreate. Alas it was all a empty lie. 18-24: Smug atheist libertarian. 25: I would like to live in a country that`s strongly socially democratic and nationalistic, but also subtly militarized and authoritarian. It useful to have that if we want to build and maintain solidarity in a multicultural future. Imagine a country that looks and feels like Nazi Germany/Fascist Italy but whose substance is more like Scandinavia only more eco-friendly ( no Death Squads, Labour camps or antisemitism). Today my brain is pretty left wing, but my heart is a fascist.

TEAYCHES posted:but what about ethics and morality? the economy isnt your bank account Back in 2012 Obama wanted to eliminate the tax break that bush gave to families earning 250,000 or over (which mine does). This happened right around the time when my two daughters were born super prematurely and had to be hospitalized for a very long time, so the thought of losing money that I could otherwise use for them loomed large and put me in a bad humor. Things have improved since then, but I've never really been able to fully shake off that "grrrr don't tax me I need that money for my family!" feeling I had.

lmbo if you are under 40 and have political ideals. Radical politics are the privilege of youth, when you get older and have more responsibility everything changes. People with kids having extreme political views have dreadlocks, smell funny and live in an old school bus. Most likely spotted at burning man.

0-16: I was a victim of being raised in a tea party neocon household, so parroted parent beliefs 17-18: Brief libertarian sprint, probably more embarrassing than my trenchcoat goth phase @13 19-25: I took some math classes and majored in economics and became extremely conservatively economically minded individual, so by today's standards the most bleedingest of heart liberals Fund every program, gently caress the rich, money is a joke

When I was young I followed the green party or whatever seemed right for the earth and people at the time, thinking my voice would make a difference. Getting passionate about issues, attending rallies and blah blah I was pretty fuckin insufferable lol but ofc now I'm in my 30s I realise nothing we do or say really matters and the powers that be will just do whatever they want, politicians are only in it for themselves etc and arguably I wasted my youth when I could've been doing more drugs and the sex Apathy is the way, friends. Live you're life for yourself and those around you
