Where were you ideologically in 2006 and compared to now? Do you attribute it more to the media or life experience?
>>72177274
In 2006 I was 13 years old, and had some interest in politics, I had been centre-left like my parents as until I entered year 7. In 2006 I was in year 8 and began becoming interested in left-anarchism, like AdBusters and Chomsky etc.
I grew out of that pretty soon.
Now I consider myself a kind of communitarian nationalist or technocratic nationalist. Lee Kuan Yew and PAP is probably the closet representation of my politics, but I'm a Pinochet fan too.

Father is conservative in temperament, but too dumb to conceptualize it. Never influenced me much in that regard (single parent, reverse dindu settis)
I was a generic centre-left liberal with a strong civil libertarian bent, a Jon Stewart acolyte basically. Then at around 16 I started getting into Libertarian politics, then individualist anarchism, agorism, left-libertarianism, egoism, other meme shit like that.
At almost 22, I would consider myself a pretty stale classical liberal with some radical influences. Ironically, I am culturally conservative in a lot of ways. Thing is, people can't express virtue under the threat of force (insofar as this threat motivates them).

I was 16 and was conservative now I am full libertarian.

2006 - I was a pothead in my early twenties only interested in pussy and pot. Living off a divorcee, doing nothing all day. I watched the daily show and bill mahr and ate that shit up with a spoon. Ended up voting for Obama and now hate myself for it.
2016- Stopped doing pot and all other drugs, work, have my own place, and now really care more about politics than pussy. Started looking objectively at the world. Researched the holocaust and found the narrative to be highly suspicious. Huge fan of Jared Taylor and Trump.
For me it was a combination of living around blacks and hispanics, tons of research, becoming more self confident, and seeing the results of Obamas presidency.
Suppose libertarianish. Conservative on foreign policy and economics, liberal on most social policies. People should be free to do anything they want as long as it doesn't impede the rights of others. If two dudes want to fuck eachother in the ass why should I give a shit? Just because I think something is gross doesn't mean it should be illegal
2006 I was 14 and a mainstream republican neo-conservative
2016 I'm a liberal democrat. It's been a long journey with some stops at socialism and libertarianism. I've made my choice now.
In 2006 I was graduating high school. I religiously watched the daily show and thought anything right wing was lame and for old people. I'd argue with my grandpa and uncle and laugh at them being racist even though I myself made black, Jew, Asian, and Mexican jokes constantly
Started reading Above top secret in college on a nightly basis then eventually ended up here. Now I'm closer than ever with my grandpa and uncles and we drink scotch and watch the world burn, comfy in our nice houses we worked hard for.

In 2006 I was a pretty mainstream Republican, occasionally flirting with fascism in my edgier moments.
Now I'm just a plain reactionary. American "conservatism", fascism, and national socialism are all modernist ideologies that accept leftism's core materialistic/positivist premises. I fully realize and accept that the world will never return to how it was before the French Revolution fucked everything up, but I'm also more into Christianity than I was 10 years ago, so I'm not too upset about not being able to create a perfect world here on earth.

In 2006 I was 21. I was a centrist with a leftist slant. Now, I'm the same thing, but I'm okay with a few more traditionally conservative ideas. I hate all political parties now as well because of the polarizing affect they have had and how retarded they've the public at large.

When you work for yourself, which everybody not in training should be doing full time by 18, you have a different opinion on stealing from people to help lazy cunts.
I use to be pretty much a democrat. I become a Libertarian for a while but sort of gave up on it conceptually. I'm now a Racial Nationalist and believe the government does have a role to play in society and the economy but I'm not a fan of 'big' government per se.

In 2006, I was a Libertarian grappling with the contradictions between my love of small government and my belief in a mutually beneficial relationship between the people and the state. Eventually, I decided to abandon the Libertarian and support a party that believes in government instead. Since then I've received an education, and my understanding of U.S political history in particular is only making my loyalty to a progressive vision of government even stronger.
>2006
Socially liberal, left wing economically
Atheist, dislike Christianity
Believe multiculturalism is great, Islam is a religion of peace
Anti-nationalism
>2016
Socially liberal, right wing economically (though in a European sense, I don't consider myself a full blown libertarian, I think health care is a right and the government should provide some kind of safety net)
Atheist, think Christianity will protect us from something worse. I have lost hope that religion will completely die off.
Multiculturalism is bad, we should be limit the growth of Islam in our country by very strict immigration policies
Nationalist, but still I believe globalization is obviously great for the economy. It's impossible to go back to the time when our country had minimal competition and we could pay high wages for factory jobs etc. We have to compete globally now, there is no going back.

This might be the dumbest statement I've seen on here in a long time. You think your country should compete with the developing would for low-paying factory jobs??? You realise that means you want your countrymen to work long hours for a fraction of the pay, right? That's a race to the bottom. It's insanity.

No that's not what I'm implying, we have to invest in education and science so we get the high paying jobs to our country and so we are able to export high end products. (Exports are vital for our economy)
But even then we are competing against way more people than before. Asia is becoming very high tech, etc. There is more global competition so things will be harder. That's what I meant.

>2016
The left has continued to move away from me particularly in racial and gender politics. The left continues to argue about taking "asylum seekers" aka economic migrants as if both John Howard and Tony Abbott's policies weren't complete successes. Feel like I am the same person politically as 10 years ago. I put in a lot of work through high school and uni while half the leftists my age failed arts degrees and want more handouts for a family and loans that they started without being able to support it themselves. Ironically I ended up working for the state government.

2006: Fully supporting the wars, heading off to basic for the Army in 2007. Wanted to remove kebab. I hate kebab more than anything.
2016: Sad there is no kebab removing war, been out of Army for 8 months. I still hate kebab but realize leftists are doing more damage to my country now than Muslims. Get triggered even harder when they start standing up for Muslims after major attacks in Europe happen. After being politically neutral most of my life and only really caring about what is good for Americans, I have been driven so far right I can kind of sympathize with Hitler on some levels.
>2006
Some kind of John Stewart liberal. All people are fundamentally the same. Backward cultural practices are a function of the environment and with proper education and economic opportunities all people will eventually behave the same and old more or less the same views and attitudes, or be within the same spectrum.
I believed right wing ideology was just propaganda pushed by rich corporations and the rich in order to justify their desire to avoid paying taxes for well justified services like healthcare and education, which of course ought to be public.
>2016
Libertarian nationalist. Society is a framework within which citizens are given as many liberties as possible to make their own choices and their own mistakes. Government education is a mistake and government monopolies encourage the breakdown of societies by creating perpetual conflict between a heterogeneous voting public. Government monopolies are also less efficient, unduly transfer wealth to a class of people that are politically favored and encourage the inter mingling of government and corporations.
Islam is cancer. Islam is enemy of mankind. No muslims should ever be allowed residency in non muslims nation.
No nation has any obligation to an outsider. There is no such thing as international law.

In 2006 I was a sophomore in high school living in Wyoming agreeing with whatever rush said on the radio just like everyone else there. I'm now more keen to media bias and jewery and attempt to make my own views instead of being influenced by them. Still lean right though.
Well, see in 2006 I was politically leaning away form anarchy (*which I was all about the year before*) towards Marxism until 2008 when I finally settled with Marxism. That cringeworthy way of thinking died sometime during 2011 or 2012. Idk, something finally just fucking snapped inside my mind and I became a full on White Nationalist. I'm starting to think is was my subconscious mind that was angry about all the obvious cuck shit. Before I was all "14/88, white power" I used to be all "Kill people, burn shit, fuck school' because I was listening to those Odd Future niggers. None of the other rappers in that group seemed to do it, but Tyler and Earl in particular just could never shut the fuck up about how "hurr durr I luvs me some white wimminz"

Pat is actually insanely reasonable, but we were already rekt demographically by the 90s
2006, I was an atheist libertarian, probably holding all the beliefs of the fedoras without actually having one. I don't like hats and I don't think fedoras were a thing with them yet anyway. Complete laissez-faire, open borders, drugs for whoever wants them...
2016, my views are much more nationalistic, still more or less a capitalist, but open to seizing foreign assets in my country (especially infrastructure like those power plants in my area owned by a British company) or even American-owned companies that act more in the interest of foreign governments or people than Americans (like IBM which has gone from tech giant to looking more and more like another third-rate Indian staffing firm for furnishing H1B visas), severely restricting immigration along with mass deportation or execution of illegals already here, regulating trade and subsidies for for various things like education and health care. I also believe in a deity.
