How Has NSG Changed Your Views?

[Threlizdun]

Of course I have to post sappy shit about my emotional development while everyone else posts their political changes.

Hm, besides politics, I think the most valuable thing NSG taught me was that I'm usually wrong.

I definitely like to believe I have learned much more about the world than I had when I first came here.

[Gigaverse]

NSG has made me lose faith in democracy...

^ Oh, and this too. Though I am constantly told that I'm a Social Democrat.

[Senyosu]

I hate a lot more people now.

Get on my level, I hate everything.

[Big Jim P]

Understood. Lazy people of the world unite! And lay around.

I have booze.

w00t! the party is on!

So edgy.

[Vetalia]

Not directly, but discussions with various people here has changed my political positions over time. Closing in on a decade of Nationstates, so it's tough to attribute any of the changes to individuals.

[Juggalo world]

Not think. Hope.

Know, actually.

Im so glad you know so much about me

[Big Jim P]

Get on my level, I hate everything.

So edgy.

And a waste of energy too. Apathy is where it is at.

NS actually managed to strengthen my faith in democracy. When I joined, I certainly believed in democracy, but my belief in democracy is further cemented.

It taught me I am better than homeless people and can taunt them for it.

It taught me that I should buy a gun specifically used to shoot at religious emissaries coming up to my door.

It taught me that Russia is stupid as fuck, which mainly is because of Putin being an utter dipshit.

Not giving a fuck has its advantages.

[Bering]

I've gone further left and become more cynical than when I started

Implying that I care.

That isn't new. Like, at all. Then again, speaking to me is like putting one's hand through a meat grinder or a deli meat cutter. That, or I have the ego the size of Jupiter. I am seriously betting on the latter.

More importantly, I believe I became more honest about my opinions as a result of NSG. Regardless of the consequence too.

[Corenea]

I started as a left-leaning centrist (hard to believe but I was) and then I shifted to the right and I'm now a libertarian-conservative but I would say that my issues changed due to real life rather than NSG mainly because NSG takes up 1% of my actual time in Nationstates (24% NS RP; 30% Forum 7; 45% P2TM)

Kiddo, you say that and it's fine. I don't particularly care. I was mostly attempting a joke. Next time, I'll add the smiley.

I need to by some sense of humour, it is fleeting.

Urgent. Code red urgent.

My views have changed over the last few years, but not because of NSG. I mean, NSG focusses mainly on US politics and I quite frankly don't give two shits what goes on in America.

But I have committed political apostasy, going from being a left-wing, socialist, Labour supporter to now being a paid up Tory.

[Escasia]

It's taught me that when people argue with me or folks I agree with, they're often arguing with some perverse caricature of what they think we believe. I suppose I've learned not to do the same thing when possible.

Lot's of things have changed, I would say some of my teachers were part of my change in political views but only in economics. On social issues, I didn't changed that much; I supported marriage equality years before Obama did.

We do tend to be America-focused. My personal favorite is seeing people talking about the politics of some other country and having some American idiot post "but that is unconstitutional".

Alright. My economic views shifted a ton in the year I've been on NS.

I went from being a social democrat, to a democratic socialist, to a full on Marxist, back to a social democrat, back to Marxism, and then I became a third way social democrat, and now I'm centrist, and I've been a centrist for a long time.
