Progressive, like queer rights are the most important political matter for me.

Current system is a failure (the nordic model for me), people are driven into loneliness and even if you work, you can't survive. Salaries aren't high enough. Robots and AI are supposed make it so people can earn more money and do less work. Instead, the owners take all the benefits of automatization making historical profits and workers are left with nothing but poverty. Then the rich oppose to every form of social benefits to the workers they exploit. This is wrong and needs to be stopped or we will destroy ourselves.

I also want to live in a commune or a yurt village or whatever because it's too damn lonely here. So many people would feel better if there was a possbility to prepare meals with others, do daily tasks with others' help, fill boring moments with games and song... But instead we are sitting in our tiny apartments all alone and maybe drinking ourselves blackout drunk to get even a shiver of freedom from this depressing, meaningless existence

I don't give a fuck ideology. Don't get in my business, I don't get into yours. It's something people struggle to understand nowadays.

My political compass classifies me as an extreme libleft, sooo...

I’m gently in favor of well regulated capitalism with strong social supports, publicly funded schooling and health care, and socially funded infrastructure maintenance. My personal opinion is that there isn’t a huge difference between corporations or government taking the reins in large infrastructure projects (there will be graft and corruption either way) but people in general need to have more of a voice in government. I think UBI should be seriously explored and implemented and insurance should be separate from employment.

I think everyone should have the right to make their own well informed healthcare decisions, so I am in favor of abortion with no restrictions. I think religion should be entirely absent from politics and government should not interfere with religion unless religion is committing crimes

I am okay with changing my mind on any of these subjects if I’m presented with a fair and reasonable argument.

For what it’s worth, I’m Gen X, in the US Midwest, and I work in a socially oriented job.

Ohh, is there a new PoliticalCompass community yet? This is calling for it if not.

I lean hard centrist.

Pretty much somewhere between a centrist and a libertarian. I think government has a bit too much overreach in people's lives and they screw with people who aren't harming anyone or just minding their own business.

I won't go full libertarian or anarchist, because I do recognize the need for government funded services in some areas.

In terms of economics, yeah pretty much a centrist. I think capitalism is the best way of giving everyone an equal opportunity, but also it needs to be regulated here and there with government intervention.

TL;DR Centrist who is a bit more libertarian than others.

fluid is good except that it also means easy for politicians to manipulate. and zero loyalty for longterm goals that require patience and sacrifice.
