Lmao
Weren't you pro-choice and pro-right-to-die until like one month ago?
Also your economic policy, you now support cutting Social Security, "smaller government" and right-to-work laws?
Is this all because of TPUSA? I didn't think your "political identity crisis" was so... thorough.

My views changed a bit. But I wasn't pro-choice. I was in favour of assisted suicide, because I've considered it myself, but I realize that any form of suicide is immoral and just bad, although i can understand it for some diseases (Alzheimer's disease). The problem is you have to give a doctor the authority to basically kill someone. I considered it, but I realized it, it is a very immoral thing to do, and nothing to be proud of, and assisted suicide is just an easy way out. It shouldn't been done for mental illness.

I don't understand right-to-work laws well, but I believe unions are harmful to the interest of workers. I believe in a smaller government, because a big government is very demanding, demands many resources and harms individual rights & freedom. I used to be pro-big government, but I either don't want a police state or a government-run state. I always thought cutting social security is good, because a lot of people are lazy, it demands a lot of resources, and people should save some money to pay their own pension. It's a huge burden on the budget. People need to take their responsability. The government can't babysit all people, and let all people become dependant of the government. So while I do support increasing minimum wage, and expanding labor laws, i'm not supportive of social security anymore. People should be encouraged to work or to start businesses.

Your views changed more than a bit.
Anyway fair enough, what can I say. However the bolded part is simply false, see below.

I'm pro-choice, and abortion clinics should be subsidized by the government. I support assisted suicide as the right to die is a fundamental right. I support free speech, including racist speeches. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that's a fundamental right, otherwise we live in a dictatorship. As long, violence is not promoted, i don't care about fascists speaking at college campuses, providing there is room for debate and for fact-checking. I disagree with the censorship of all groups.

I have never written down anything about me here. Today may be as good a day as any for that.

A summary of my political beliefs could be that I have always been interested in and inspired by socialist and social democratic thought more than anything else, because of a series of convictions that may be best condensed with a nice play on words, that is a belief that material inequalities are also inequities and are also iniquities; and that since my religious conversion six months ago the salience of Catholic thought has increased in me and I have been trying to elaborate and morally ground my politics in light of my faith, especially in this very last period.
In addition, on a more fundamental but less political level, I have realized I am mostly a conservative person, as far as emphasis on community, attachment to tradition, belief in moral obligations, and aesthetic preferences are concerned.
