I'm pretty old. Not very old, but old enough to be a legal adult. And I'm possibly the most liberal person in my family. I've been this way for years.
Liberal, or left?
A bit of both. I also don't like capitalism.
Don't really see how you can be both tbh
They don't have to be entirely mutually exclusive. Though I imagine the most consistent form is just a left-facing liberal: like one that values philanthropy.
Though I have argued that some kinds of anarchists can embody this unholy fusion by way of contributing to society by removing themselves from it. Kind of requires rural homesteading in my experience, having known a few folks that I think could be defined that way.
...Though those homesteading types are often prone to going all sov-cit or worse. Also based from experience.
you're left or you're not, you're a plain liberal
Got it.
