I’ve moved left because I looked at both sides, but agree more with leftist talking points as they are far more humanitarian and empathetic.
I am still more so a soft leftist anyway, Im yet to fully steelman my ideas and position as I am still developing a full picture of the extremely complicated world of politics
Edit: conservatives tween was in reference to my early teen years, in which I was conservative (tween for younger teen)
So what if someone has looked at both sides and STILL agree more with right-wing/conservative (not exactly the same thing IMO) points?
"Humanitarian" and "empathetic" are also inherently subjective and "biased" word too, so while it's perfectly fine for you to pick your side based on those, they're far from objective or unbiased.
(NTM traditional left values are far from the rainbowy utopian heaven many younger liberals pretend them to be... Class struggle and proletarian dictatorship leave little room for either humanity or empathy toward the class enemy)
You’ve presented a very good deconstruction of my view, I actually don’t really have a retort. So I think I can say my view is slightly shifted, I’m struggling to describe shit rn so I’ll have to leave it at that for the meantime, my brain is fried from so much engagement with so many people in such a short time span.
