I was actually more right wing as a kid. Now that I've learned some things about the world that's when I became a left leaning liberal.

Went from voting far right in 2017 (fucking welfare abusers ) to far left in 2022 (fuckibg corporations costing three times more than welfare) kek

I'm at a pretty low level of rightishness, but I fluctuate a bit. I've been socially left since my late teens and sort of homeless but libertarian economically. My personal ethics are definitely closer to some left-lib ideologies.

I'm really uncomfortable with subjective categories. My brain wants objective lines. I'm also extra empathetic. Working out a personal philosophy that fits both is kind of time consuming, but worth it because my brain really likes objective lines.

I feel that. I was raised in a religious household and had some weird beliefs, but time and education has made me a communist.

If you make sure that you never ever stop learning and that there is never an end to the process you will eventually go further.

Don't stop.

I will never stop learning. This is actually something I admire my parents in. They never stop learning new things
