I went from a pretty standard libertarian to a pretty far left wing person. College moderated me a bit, actually. So on the whole, I've moved pretty far to the left. But in the last 5 years or so, I've moved more to the center.

I was never particularly right-wing on economics but definitely identified as a libertarian when I joined the forum (in middle school). Teenage libertarianism is a sort of fever, you either sweat it out or it kills you; I chose the former & ended up a full-blown socialist in college. I feel like I've moved substantially back toward the center since then, though it may just be that the importance of various issues has shifted.
I think the more important "ideological" movement, for me, has been picking a handful of issues to focus on. I have strong opinions about environmental conservation, universal healthcare, housing, and "economic issues" (workers rights, economic inequality, the social safety net and the labor movement), and I view most issues through those lenses, but I don't really feel the need to stake out a position on each and every issue and hold forth on all of them equally under the framework of "libertarianism" or "socialism" or some such thing. I attribute that mostly to no longer spending my weekends writing long electoral platforms for Fantasyland purposes.
