I used to consider myself center-left, but I don’t know. I frankly don’t care about much, the state of the economy, the state of the U.S. despite being American, or what Trump does in office. It’s simply not my problem and I think it’s boring.
I don’t have high empathy to begin with, and I believe that since it doesn’t directly affect me, I don’t care one way or another. For now, I consider myself to be bisexual (or maybe straight but bicurious?). I believe it’s normal (not right, normal) for some bisexual people to be homophobic, especially when their preference leans toward the opposite gender, since bisexuality is still vastly different from homosexuality.
While I respect everyone regardless as they’re all people, I simply don’t care about certain rights one way or another. I believe LGBT, for example, are people who deserve equal treatment, but I don’t particularly care as I never faced homophobia.
I won’t hang out with certain people. I view them as people with rights, they’re just not my cup of tea.
I don’t understand people with disabilities and won’t pretend to, but I also can’t help them much as someone who hasn’t gone through it, doesn’t know many people like that, nor cares enough to research. I don’t hang out with lesbians because I only hang out with people I relate to, and I can’t hang out with a woman who only likes women.
I like getting attention from men, as they’re masculine. I find I can relate to men/women who like men, and help men who like women with dating women/maybe see them as romantic candidates.
While I do believe everyone deserves equal rights, I don’t have much empathy. I don’t know how to help nor do I care much, frankly, and I am certainly no activist.
Empathy and intelligence are good proxies for political orientation.
The smarter and/or more empathic people are the more left they tend to skew.
Objectively, you sound ignorant and wholly self centered but still not self interested to the point you need other people to tell you your views because you haven’t thought about them yourself. At this point, your opinion is whatever people tell you to make it.
But if you’re not a straight white man or a tradfem you’re actively disservicing yourself by not understanding what being politically ignorant has on literally every facet of your existence from the water you drink to your validity as an autonomous individual.
Then even if you are a straight white man, racism is largely a misdirection for class warfare via wage theft, wage suppression, and inflation.
Explore this site and take the quiz if you’re curious, but also look at the history of US elections and notice how far right candidates have gone the last 2 decades.
Take note of how far RIGHT candidates portrayed as “left” are.
