Is it meaningful to identify as a right wing or left wing person? Or a liberal or conservative? Or any of that?

I feel I do not fall square into either one. And i'm not a "centrist" either. I also try to avoid doing the "both sides" thing, because most of the time I do see one side as being right on some issues. I'm not that guy.

I'v declared myself "more of a lefty" when I was younger, and recently started saying I was a traditionalist (not a conservative) because it seems accurate. But I feel like lables are for dipshits and honestly, we should think for ourselves. The shit that gets labled on one side or the other is silly. For example: Andrew Tate is against feminism, and feminism is typically thought of as left wing, so ppl casually call that guy right. In reality, nothing about the redpill is traditionally right wing, and the founder of conservatism would have actually been called a simp by these guys for the things he said about how awesome women are.

I'm "left wing" on the environment, but i'm right wing on making sure homogenous monogamous families with a ton of kids flourish. So what the hell am I suppose to do? Right leaning peeps wanna destroy the environment, but left wing peeps wanna destroy everything that makes life worth living anyhow.

Sure it is.

A great number of people don't fit accurately into a political spectrum. Also, the likes of yourself, I'd describe as non-aligned anti-establishment.

It's true that when people are young (or in the first years of them being properly invested in politics) they bounce around. My friend @SatanBurger knows a thing or two about that. Some of them eventually settle in a place.

On a political compass test, economic views are split from the social. You could be described as 'authoritarian left.' on one of these: meaning left on economic policy but right on the cultural and social axis

@Burnley123 Haha I do know about that a lot, I think I'm starting to settle a little bit though around being more leftist in general. But I do know about bouncing around and a lot of headache too 😝
