>>78463063
I've never been a liberal because I never once thought "gee, I sure would like to dye my hair hot pink and drink nigger semen".
Raised by 2 liberals who met in the Peace Corps in Africa, was always fairly liberal up until I moved into a major city at which point I realized that shit was ridiculous. Trump supporter now. But I'd choose Biden if he were running. Bloomberg is also a fair choice
Was liberal, then moved to california.

Conservative my entire life thanks to my 100% redpilled father teaching me how bullshit liberalism is from when I was young. Full on natsoc by age 20, and realistic with my conservative beliefs by age 23. We are the generation that will take back our countries and future. Fuck the globalists and fuck those who would destroy 1000s of years of history and culture to prove they are not a soviet buzzword. PROSPERITY FOR OUR PEOPLE.

No shit awesome.

I refused to vote for George bush or obongo
Didn't feel right to vote for anyone till Trump came along, have always been a nationalist

I came to a different conclusion throughout my study of history and historiography in college, that greed is an inescapable aspect of humanity and it's not a detriment. People need a society with incentives and the possibly for impossible to reach incentives, I don't think any form of communism would fulfill that inherent need. There's a reason many historians moved away from Marxist theory in history a long time ago.

I would be considered liberal by the conservatives today. I would be considered conservative by the liberals today. Yet I am not moderate. I have only changed in my degree of what is going on with the world. I still hate corruption, and I see that it is far more prevalent both than it used to be and than I thought it was. I still think that you should use force against those who would first initiate it against you. I don't disagree with the idea that a couple of guys who have some disagreement that can't be solved by sitting down and talking about it should be allowed to go behind the building and duke it out if they want. I also don't care who sucks who's dick. Just don't tell me about it.
150 years ago, I would have been called a liberal. Today, I don't give a fuck what I'm called.

Opposite bro
Conservative in my teens and early 20s, libertarian in mid 20s. 32 now I have more liberal leanings than anything.
I think the difference between the 2 groups is conservatives are worried about getting cucked by the government and liberals are worried about getting cucked by corporate America. Both viewpoints have legitimate arguments to be made
>>78463063
I was liberal whilst me and my family were living in a fairly high income area of Greater London, moved to California and the rest is fairly self explanatory.
>>78465629

I'm in my early 20's and I have no political ties what so ever. I voted for the current prime minister so that he could keep his plans going and not get another party in to change them,

Never was a conservative, liberal to libertarian. I don't care about your degeneracy as long as you stay off my lawn.

been always a social conservative. I even called it in my high school debate in the early 2000s that if gays get the right to marry, it won't be the end and they'll just end up demanding more special privileges. LOL and here we are in the CURRENT YEAR.
Although I think all this globalist shit and how the banks fucked the world economy in 2008 has shaken my faith in free markets though. There has to be a reasonable balance between government regulations and economic freedom.
>>78465821
>conservatives are worried about getting cucked by the government and liberals are worried about getting cucked by corporate America. Both viewpoints have legitimate arguments to be made
That's because the government and the corporate world (it's global, not just corporate America) are in bed together. They'll both fuck you in the ass.
>>78465802

>standing up for your people, history and culture

I can't find any flaws. The right is always right, or we wouldn't call it the right, would we?
I was in the same boat as OP. Liberal as fuck from 18-22, started seeing how retarded the Left truly is with the Trayvon Martin bullshit, now full-on redpilled at 26.

KEK, you think we have free markets? Holy fuck, we've had a centrally planned economy for quite a while now. Last year alone, the federal government promulgated over 80,000 pages of regulations. WTF are they? I ain't reading 80,000 pages to find out, but they carry the force of law. Go start a small business. You'll either find that you have found a very small niche, or that there are very costly regulations that are tough for you to follow, yet the big boys who own our congress and regulators can afford to ignore. None of us alive have experienced anything close to laissez faire capitalism.
>>78465821
>conservatives are worried about getting cucked by the government and liberals are worried about getting cucked by corporate America. Both viewpoints have legitimate arguments to be made
You are pretty much right and the obvious answer is usually somewhere in the middle for this reason, but we all know rampant croneyism means we're only allowed two extreme views and no compromises.

Not really. Government is a tool, not a blood thirsty monster, or what ever conservatives think it is. If people want a more responsible government, maybe don't elect people like Trump or Clinton.
Our government isn't in bed with global financial agencies, just individuals.

This is almost me, I was always pretty centrist but put my leftist beliefs above everything else in importance. Now that I'm in my late twenties I understand how much of a mistake that was. Liberals are poison.
>>78463063
Yep, I too believed in unified world where we are all truly nice and equal, that media were not lying because somebody would discover it since there are billions of people, that pharmaceuticals do what theyre meant to otherwise some of the billions of people would find out and all that shit.
Then I discovered media and government lies, especially about pharmaceuticals.
Then I discovered that equality doesn't mean uplifting inferior people to our level, it means having gun put up to head and being forced to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves at YOUR expense, if you complain you're suddenly racist xenophobe, not equal.
Then I discovered history is not accurate collection of past events but diary of winners.
Now I want to be left alone, if you want to be all equal and shit do it on some island or somewhere where I'm not forced into it, it's just fucking facade to keep us weak.

Clinton is a sure criminal corporate shill. I don't know WTF to think about Trump. But you're forgetting congress, which is bought and paid for, through and through. You should look up the history of Hank Paulson, Goldman Sachs, AIG and the TARP bailouts. Clinton would be no different with regards to who she appoints and what they do. Trump? Who the fuck knows.
>>78463473
If you didn't outgrow your parents' views, you weren't raised right. Education (I'm not talking about school, but education in general) is about overcoming the prejudices of your parents. If you grow up and have the same views as your dad, you're probably not doing much thinking.
I think it's less that you've changed and more that the political climate has changed. Hell, look at 4chan as a whole. It used to be a bunch of stiff suits who didn't like our lulz, and now it's a bunch of hippie college girls who don't like our keks. We used to be labeled a bunch of crazy leftist anarchists for doing the same shit we do today. We still call people niggers, bitch about people we don't like, and really just want to see shit go to hell most of the time. The memes have changed, but we haven't. Except we're "alt right racists" now instead of whatever kind of secret liberal internet organization they used to think we were.

Haha. That pretty retarded logic. Are your mom and dad related. Probably cousins I bet.
Raised by two hippy parents that loved diversity and just wanted to take drugs all day.
Surrounded by socialist friends. Fully bought into the racism narrative. Voted lib dem/green in every uk election.
My inate hatred for the world and pursuit of truth managed to shine through, the sjw movement and #gamergate finally pushed me into fascism.
I'm 30 and now I await the race war.

Around 21 I started to swing right and I've settled comfortably on the right at 25
>>78463063
From what I can remember it was the exact same age for me. I'm not as edgy as /pol/ though and I'm only here right now because of the referendum. Usually I can here once a week when i'm hungover and new a fast board to kill time all day.

>>78468473
I'm certainly not saying there isn't corruption or back door dealings in the government. Certainly that is the case.
I just think people oversimplify and vilify government. Government is a tool, like a gun or car. In order for iy to do anything, there needs to be people operating it. In the case of this analogy it would be the American people behind the cars wheel or gun's trigger. If a car crashes or a gun shoots a bullet, it's not the fault or the gun or car but a result of who is behind the wheel or trigger.
If conservatives or liberals dislike the government or way it's operating, it's their(and every Americans) own fault.
Conservative politicians have crashed the car just as much, if not more than liberals.
>>78468824
So, you were a liberal until you realized you were a racist. Thats about right.

This is me exactly, OP. I also share your taste in women. Wonder what her nationality is.

I was liberal before I knew what it entailed.
>tfw voted for Obama
>twice
Even though my political opinions have changed over time, I still don't know if I could have brought myself to vote for Romney or McCain; Romney being and android and therefore ineligible to become President in the first place, and McCain choosing the exact on-the-nose absolutely WROOOOOONG person as his VP to represent his platform and his party.
I feel that is the true tragedy of the McCain campaign. I, for one, probably would have voted for him, had he chosen literally ANY BODY ELSE as his Vice President. Palin is a dumb conservative stereotype come to life. How anybody thought that was a good idea is beyond me. Clearly one of three, or maybe a confluence of these factors played a role:
>1. McCain was/is senile and let his idiotic handlers choose for him
>2. McCain was/is a horny old man that let his dick do the thinking and it cost him everything
>3. McCain was actually turned by his time spent in captivity. He was given orders to return home from prison in Vietnam, become a politician, run for President of the United States as a conservative Republican, and ultimately take a dive in order for Obama's liberal Democrats to take power
I was always a kind of anti-authoritarian/contrarian
Was Mutualist/Libertarian-left most of my actual political life, atheist too, until I realized the contradiction of left politics to true economic freedom. Even though I don't believe in god personally, I believe in the authority of the potential of a God over the authority over a state.

I was raised in a pretty conservative house. But my parents were rather open and encouraged "exploration" so to speak. Up until I was 14, I was pretty liberal.
My parents are also pretty rich, so most people we knew were also liberal leaning. When I was 15 and going onto High School, my father put me in a public school instead of a private school because he wanted me to know what normal people are like, and not the filthy rich.
That was when I became pretty conservative. I had to deal with a lot of shit back then which made me pretty angry. And only made me even more conservative in return.
After I graduated I slowly stopped caring about both sides. I'm still conservative leaning, but I don't care as much anymore. I mostly only come to /pol/ because I hate mass media, and /pol/ is also pretty funny.

I was a radical liberal communist as recently as 2010, mostly because I went to an Ivy League for a liberal arts degree and got pink pilled by narrative deluge.
I was always a *bit* too edgy for my colleagues, though. Later, I'd come to basically realize that fascism is more or less intellectually and philosophically not only rigorous, but correct.
At this point, I'd vote for Adolf Hitler.

That's 3 different camps you have there. Especially that third one.
Only ancaps advocate for the free market no matter what.
Most people are open to compromise if there are real issues like monopolies.
>>78475052
>I can't read a graph
You're really dumb for being in your 30s on /pol/, try a statistics course. Have you ever seen one of the race debate threads?
Even "culture" is a better argument. Poverty has been debunked so badly it's hard to believe someone here would mention it unironically.
And what do you feel about "diversity"? How about the liberal professor Putnam's findings that people get less motivated and life degrades for everyone in diverse neighborhoods?
>>78463063
That's the way it tends to go. People are generally liberal when they're children, and haven't really lived in the real world (no, college doesn't count), and grow more conservative when they actually get out there. The exceptions are the ones who move to hugbox cities like San Francisco or Chicago.
>>78463063
Yeah, I became a nationalist at 15 after a short sos-dem phase.
Was a liberal like my parents.... joined the military... now I'm out and I'd say I'm still a liberal, but much more supportive of conservatives, especially when it comes to guns and fighting against the regressive cucked liberals I'm seeing on college campuses.
>>78475824
Are you sure I can have that? Shouldn't you ask your friends or /pol/ first?
>>78477140
As the saying goes. If you aren't a liberal when you're young, you have no heart, and if you aren't conservative when you're older, you have no brain.
And can confirm, Chicago is a fucking mental asylum.

I've got an aunt and uncle who have lived in Chicago for pretty much my entire life (about 30 years), and they finally got fed up, and just moved to Texas this month. I think the Trump rally chimpout was the final straw. I've always considered them my second set of parents, and am honestly considering following them down there.
Any political stance held inflexibly is a sign of spiritual malaise.
I was never that political. I was generally liberal-minded in my teens and 20s. I gained understanding about the world abd humanity and these days I'm against some of the degeneracy of today's "tolerant" trends.
I also became Christian gradually from my early 30s onwards, whereas around ages 18-20 I recall being particularly "lel religious fairytales" and later just disinterested. Some of my present views are ultra-conservative from the point of view of secular society. On the other hand, some of my views could be said to be radically openminded in a religious context, although not on the subjects seculars militate about (like demanding same-sex marriage, female priests etc.).
Making a political side your temple is absolutely degenerate.
>>78463063
Yeah but I switched around at like 22
I'm still an atheist but I appreciate Christianity now
>>78468583
why change your view from your dad if your dad's view is reasonable. If my father's view is don't jump in front of cars, Do I start jumping out in front of cars for personal growth?
>>78478275
I know that feel, my aunt is a 80 feminist anarchist and i had yo live with her an entire year... I swear i could almost smell the crap stored inside her skull
>>78478275
I was at that rally, and I really don't blame you or your family for wanting to move. This city is fucked. I saw Mexican flags everywhere, police pushed and hit. Trump supporters harassed and their signs torn. Rioting. Extremely anti-American propaganda from BLM and Berniebros on loudspeakers. I was undecided at that time, and it really pushed me towards Trump a lot. I've never been so disgusted with the people in this City.

>>78463063
Exactly this I guess the older you get the more reality sets in
>>78468649
All it means is that the right are the new liberals and the left is something different. Likely socialism or marxism.
>>78479552
As I've been told by a couple of different people, Houston evidently just trounced Chicago as the third biggest city in the country, so I'm thinking a lot of people have come to this conclusion.
>>78463063
If your opinions ever do a complete 180 like that, it honestly just says you're an idiot. You were an idiot leftist who couldn't reasonably articulate why he's a leftist, and now you're a conservative who's opposed to the idiotic, strawman-like parody of leftism which is the only version of leftism that he ever knew.
We have people just like you here, only the other way around. Born-again conservatives. They're idiots, too.
>>78463063
I wasn't really raised liberal or conservative because my dad was an immigrant. Was liberal until around 25 as well, then noticed the censorship and cuckery going on. Hard conservative now.
>>78464709
all hail the god emperor.
>>78480513
*we have born again leftists, I mean.
Look at this guy as a case study>>78473322. He was sure he had all the right answers as a Full Liberal. In the course of 2 years he did a complete 180 and now considers himself a national socialist, and he STILL BELIEVES he has all the right answers?
Why? What changed? Do you think he stopped being an idiot by reading some libertarian kikebook pages?
His new views on libertarianism are just as moronic as his old views on leftism, and his opposition to leftism is based on the assumption that all leftists are as idiotic as him, just because he doesn't know any better.
>>78480513
so its completely impossible, after believing in some stupid shit when you're young and impressionable, to turn around and realize the error of your ways?
fuck off kike
I was an edgy anarchist when I was 11 or so and matured into a libertarian
>>78480513

>>78481631
If you do a complete 180 in just 2 years, you haven't stopped being an impressionable idiot yet. What will you believe in 2 years from now? Are you sure you found the absolute truth, and your views won't change from here on out? Isn't that also what you thought when you were a liberl?
If you ever do a complete 180, your opinions are worthless and you will forever be an idiot.
>>78463063
You eptimise the saying
"if you're not a socialist by 21; you have no heart. If you are not a capitalist by 30; you have no brain."

I was not really a political person before any of the recent political shenanigans. As I noted, politics impeded on my daily life and eventually drug me into the fray. I had general liberal ideals from school 'education' and from the common held beliefs of those around me. I jumped around a lot over the past few years because I didn't know jack shit about how the world works, or how politics works, and have eventually landed on a solid position now that I've educated myself. This is something many people go through when they get into politics. But then again, you're just another kike that gets off being condescending to people by standing on your high-horse. And you wonder why there are so many people that want your ilk gassed.

I was liberal until I was 14, then somebody stole my Runescape gold and said it's to distribute the wealth.
From that day on, I was no longer interested in being a liberal.
