Where do you stand ideologically

Where are you on the political spectrum

 

[Alexei_Kirillov]

I'm kind of all over the place depending on the specific issue. In broad strokes, though: for most fiscal/economic policy, I tend to align more with the left, but on social/cultural/culture-war issues, I tend to be more centrist or even right-of-centre. For example, I am in favour of abortion at any stage of pregnancy, but I think minors should not be allowed to medically transition (in general).

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm a contrarian. If enough people around me think one way, I start feeling like I'd rather believe the opposite.

 

[Final_Freedom]

I'm outside of it because I don't participate. Political beliefs are for people who actually contribute to the world or have something to gain, I have nothing and will never have anything except death. I don't even have a job, why should I care about politics?

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I would say that my political views line up the most with the Parti Rhinocéros. I agree with a lot of their idea, such as towing Antarctica up here to control all of the world's cold.
















































































































































































































































































Okay, but seriously, I feel like if you've read any of my posts before then it is pretty clear that I'm very left-leaning. I feel like I don't even need to further elaborate on that...

I don't really consider myself on either side because there are core issues on both ends that I do not agree with. I generally just follow my heart.

 

[Agon321]

I can't define myself clearly.

I believe that the truth does not lie on the left, right, or in the middle. The truth lies where it lies and there is no rule for this.
Another thing is that the right and the left have lost their meaning for me and I simply have bad associations and I don't like these words.
I also think that many people who identify with one of these groups are unable to logically and clearly answer the questions of what the left and the right are (this is just my observation).

To put it bluntly, my views depend on the context.
Sometimes the answer to the same question can vary depending on the situation.
Of course, in matters such as abortion, I do not change my mind (I am liberal), because in matters such as this, it makes no sense to me to change my mind.

Anarcho socialist.

A stateless, classless, moneyless society isn't just the goal—it's the only way out of this mess. Capitalism is an oppressive system built to keep the rich on top while the rest of us struggle to survive. Right now, the gap between the wealthy and the working class is wider than ever. Companies are raking in record profits, and yet the people doing the work can barely make ends meet.

Capitalism is falling apart, but instead of waking up to that, a lot of young men are turning to fascism (trump) whether they realize it or not. It's wild how history keeps repeating itself. When the system is crumbling, some people would rather double down on control and power than actually break free from it. They think fascism will give them strength, but really, it just tightens the chains.

The real fight is dismantling the structures that create these inequalities, capitalism, racism, sexism. It's about building a world where wealth doesn't define worth, and survival isn't a daily grind. But the closer we get to real change, the harder those in power are going to push back.

 

[Praying 4 a Miracle]

One of the best examples of this would be Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), PayPal, etc.). This guy now has a net worth of $270 billion USD and is the richest man on Earth. He's also on target to be the world's first trillionaire in the not-too-distant-future! He also has 12 children with three wives.

His accomplishments and talents are pretty humbling for the rest of us, but IMO, the reality is that we are all 100% equal in overall significance. Even if he does succeed in becoming a trillionaire, he's only mortal, and is not taking a dime of his money with him at the end of his human lifespan. I'm sure he also has good days and bad days, just like the rest of us.

Broadly libertarian both socially and economically. Not an absolutist, but perhaps around the level that Milton Friedman once preached.
