I cam in Minarchist, went full anarchist, was communist for a brief period of time, and now I ended up at Libertarian Socialist.

1, Has your politics changed since being a member of the NS community?

Well I was right-wing conservative a while back with my first nation (in 2011, I think). Drifted further to the right and went more socially liberal.

2, If so were other NSers involved?

Not that know of...

3, what were the changes?

I just became more Libertarian... I guess.

Actually, the argument plan works better. You guys might have the wrong idea (if there is such a thing) but you usually present it better than some of my counterparts.

No, there's three even in that metric.

Social-Democrats, those yet to be social-democrats, and the summer deluge of white nationalists.

Yes, from Libertarian Conservative to Minarchist with An-Cap sympathies.
Je Suis Geller
Economic Right: 10.00
Social Libertarian: -6.77

People who denounce the free market and voluntary exchange, and are for control and coercion, believe they have more intelligence and superior wisdom to the masses. What's more, they believe they've been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. Of course, they have what they consider good reasons for doing so, but every tyrant that has ever existed has had what he believed were good reasons for restricting the liberty of others.
-Walter E. Williams

Libertarian Conservative runs in the same vein as a reptilian spider, it's impossible by definition and really scary.

Started off as a neoconservative when I first encountered NSG on a different account. Drifted from there to libertarian interventionist, to market anarchist. Used to be very patriotic, now I find patriotism to be revolting.

NSG really did not play any part in my ideological drift.

The State never intentionally confronts a man's sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced.

Oh please. Those people should grow up. The South will NOT rise again.

The Union will instead, fall.

Dealing with a banking crisis was difficult enough, but at least there were public-sector balance sheets on to which the problems could be moved. Once you move into sovereign debt, there is no answer; there’s no backstop.

I went from hardcore objectivist to more of a nationalist georgist.

Basically I went more free market socialist and dropped the multiculturalism
Base 12, Esperanto, 13 month years, you get the drift, All that weird stuff. 58 million total inhabitants. The national area is the northern half of South America, and we are very xenophobic. Georgism since 1871.
