Left Wing, Right Wing, Or Centrism? And why?

[Emily]

Care to describe your independent political ideology?

I am pro choice, feminist, environmentalist/humanist. I vote democrats because they atleast pretend to be progressives

Since the collapse of communism and the advent of Ronald's Reagan presidency who was massively supported (for the first time) by the Christian Right, ideologically, the divide between the Left and the Right has been widened and became blurred. Now, people nit-pick different issues as they go along. In contemporary political discourse, there are centrists, moderates, right wing, neo-cons, lefties, moderate lefties, hard-lefties, progressives, there also those who define themselves as far-right moderates, far-left moderates, radical centrists, or moderate centrists. Also, you could be a neo-con on foreign policy and yet, be a liberal on social issues and the environment. Even the libertarians have their right, left, moderate right and moderate left factions.

I don’t know, still trying to find out. I used to be a centerist, but now I have issues with it. Politics is stressful, can we just talk about zoology.

Your whole life is politics. What you eat, or whether you get to eat at all - politics. Where you live - politics. Where you go to school - politics. What you earn and your career prospects - politics. The price of gas in your car - politics. Etc.

I don't understand people who say they aren't political. Your whole existence is political.

I lean more to the left because the American right is more tolerant of xenophobia and Islamophobia, so as both a second-generation Somali immigrant and a Muslim it's dumb for me to support them. Also, I agree with typically liberal ideas like universal healthcare, a more tightly-regulated economy, and the outlawing of the death penalty.

Left wing in the west for welfare and white genocide. Right wing back home due to common sense.

The poll is too restrictive so I didn't vote.

Most ethnic minorities with a home country are like this:

Turks in Europe vote left-wing on local elections, but are pro-Erdogan (right-wing conservative) in Turkey.

The media and Antifa calls me "far-right" and "extreme" and a "fascist" and a "Nazi". I love their newly made term "ultra far-right" and how they added the ultra to add emphasis because they overused their old labels.

But I am a boring centrist as most people believe in what I believe. They are the extreme ones. They are the fringe. Only 6% of Canadians want more immigration and this is the most cucked country whose leader said was "post-national".

My views:

- I love regime change wars in Sunni and far leftist countries
- Pro LGB, anti T
- Anti abortion
- Western supremacy
- Strong welfare/safety net programs for disabled, retired and short term unemployed.
- Lower taxes for everyone, ending corporate tax loopholes
- Banning immigration from non wealthy countries and those with wrong socially conservative beliefs and Sunni countries.
- Paying our citizens to have more babies.
- Taking away citizenship to those who hate the West and deporting them back home.
- Strong environmental policies
- Making conditions for development aid. Thank you Donald Trump for your administration's campaign to end homosexual discrimination worldwide and if they don't listen you will yank their aid.
