I belong to that large section of society who feels like a political misfit. I'm interested in ideas from all over the spectrum and I read and listen to voices from all over it too. I would probably consider myself as a left-libertarian/libertarian socialist, but like any thinking person, a single title can't encapsulate all my views. I don't view people as "good guys" and "bad guys". There are a few ideas that I feel pretty strongly about, but most of the time I just like to listen and try to understand. One idea I do stick to is that people should try to listen and understand, and that they shouldn't pigeonhole people based on a few sentences they've written. At the moment I feel like I can't breathe, as the people who currently have most sway on the internet are people who both seem to have a taste for oppressive totalitarianism, and who act towards those who have different views in exactly the same way that someone within a totalitarian state would act towards dissidents. They call themselves "left" but mostly are the enforcers for a neoliberal elite who seem to me want to turn the world into a sort of corporate totalitarian nightmare (much like China has become since abandoning communism) where all the corporations and the government act as one giant conglomerate that keeps the people powerless, conditioned, and restricted, while they make insane levels of profit and don't pay any taxes.
