In what world would
@Abhorsen be a democrat? More of a Ron Paul style libertarian from what I have seen.
Eh, I would, in such a world, likely fall on the left adjacent sorta thing,
@S'task is right. I believe in abortion up to 8-12 weeks, gay marriage, mass drug legalization, adult trans rights to pay for a transition, a lot of police/criminal justice reform, etc. Also, my personal behavior has some definite libertine elements, as well as being an athiest/agnostic, and some other stuff.
But I look at the lefty elements, even of libertarianism, and I go
wtf! It's so freaking awful. I wish they weren't this way. But they are, and so I'm on the right (though the econ was never in question, I was always on the right economically once I did any econ).
Also, on a less shocking note, so many of the libertines I see (and know personally) are just fucked in the head, and let their libertine-ness define them, instead of having that as something they do. They choose to become a bunch of labels. I watch friends grabbing mental illnesses like pokemon, then showing them off to people. People I thought were okay people out of the blue advocating up to birth abortion. It really gave me a ton of respect for religion, honestly. I see what most people become without it or something else greater than themselves: just empty vessels. The scariest part? I could have ended up like that so easily. So,
so, easily. I can just picture it.
