I have become more racist, and libertarian.
I clearly can't be trusted to have a signature.

That statement contradicts with what you've written in your signature.

Horus: blekky you are blekky i am horus
Rio: Blekky you are the best person on this website. Figuratively, kiss me.
Blekky is like a bunny. He looks adorable, yet he might bite you till it hurts.
Veccy: you're the worst blekky
The Balkens: Blekk does that, he has been taught by NSG's greatest practitioners of Snark to Snark combat.

I went from being a vaguely socialist social democrat to a mutualist anarchist and later a post-civ anarchist (tl;dr a radical environmentalist philosophy fusing both "civilized" and "primitive" elements). This wasn't all just from NSG though.

Confederated Southern States wrote:Yup. I used to be a solid liberal, then I saw how stupid hard leftism is and I switched to a left-leaning libertarian.


American liberals are really far from being "hard leftists".

Scholencia wrote:Personally, I turned from socialism to libertarianism and I am more for capitalism . Yet, I will continue to honor some left-wing traditions like the Red Army and Comrafe Stalin.


How do you combine libertarianism with Stalin?

My stance hasn't changed. NS just provides me more and more evidence for how deeply the lefties are really detached from reality .

Generalizations are just wonderful. :roll:
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

1, Has your politics changed since being a member of the NS community?
Yes, very much.
2, If so were other NSers involved?
A bit. I was influenced by my Socialist friend.
3, what were the changes?
Up until I joined NS, I was completely conservative. I thought Bush was okay and that Stephen Harper is the best prime minister evar (I'm Canadian)! Looking back on that, I can't believe how stupid I was. After doing a bit of research and actually investing time in politics, I learned that Bush was stupid, Harper sucks and Trotsky was the world's biggest hope for the future. I thought Stalin was great because he won WWII, but now I actually know who he is and what he's done. I've changed from Far-Right to Left over the course of a year. Probably because I knew pretty much nothing about politics back then and never even cared. TRUDEAU 2015, SOCIALISM FOR THE FUTURE!

Sir, do you know what the term "left-wing" means when pertaining to politics?

Yes, I do, and I'm experiencing it on a daily basis :( . I wish I didn't.
