I'm Getting pushed Away from the Left and Right

[CrazyAfterlife]

I feel like I get pushed away from the left because they hold feminism and black lives matter which preaches death and hatred against white males like me, and I also have many disagreements with the left. Thing is I also get pushed out of the right, it just seems there are lots of there's a lot of annoying white supremacists and homophobes((Which turns me away because I'm a Bisexual)) and they seem to think Russia is the god hero of Earth which does nothing wrong((The Us does some pretty horrible **** but at least we don't we don't bet down gay people)). It seems like I can't be in the left or right.

Moderate is pretty much what I am. I don't think the far right or the far left is the way to go. Most people are conservative in some ways while liberal in others.

Wait, what??

I find it more meaningful to avoid labels altogether and use my reason and conscience in deciding every issue for myself. Of course, this requires using your brain and having the ability to form and hold opinions for yourself, so it isn't for everyone.

Hold your ground!

It would be smart to find who you are and what morals you agree with, then compare those to the sides of the political spectrum.
Most people come out liberal or moderate when they do so, or so I've been lead to believe.

Well ya know, we were given two eyes for a reason --- left and right--- and if you try to please people on both sides you'll just wind up making yourself cross-eyed.

Then again, if you choose one or the other, chances are you'll walk around half-blind most of the time.

When it comes to life, eyes are for seeing. When it comes to politics, eyes are for rolling.

So I do a lot of that, like when I hear my Conservative friends yammering about Obama being a Muslim, or when I look at all the "SAVE THE EARTH" and "GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST" bumper stickers on my Liberal friend's converted-bread van that gets 6 miles to the gallon and spills oil all over the road.

It's political fashion. Most people engaged in political discourse care more about how they look and who they'll be associated with when deciding their label. I find the phenomenon a little bit gross.

"Left" & "Right" don't work for me.
Try this test, & see if you fall someplace more complicated.....

So what? Given your pejorative descriptions, why would you want to be included in either grouping? Your view only goes to support the fact that such political labels are really only used to negatively lump people together so they can be conveniently attacked in one go without having to go to the effort of listening to or understanding any of their individual opinions. Not applying the labels to yourself is a good start; Not applying them to anyone would be better.

I think we must have some of the same friends. LOL Personally if I have to label myself, I'm more of a moderate than anything else.

When it comes to my friends, I'm more of a moderator than anything else.

 

[robocop (actually)]

The funny thing about being a centrist is that you and someone else can both be a centrist and completely disagree on every issue. It's mathematically possible.

[Quagmire]

That sums it up pretty well.

A balance beam without scales is useless!

 

[Valjean]

If fairness and human rights are your concern I don't see why you'd reject the left. The left has always promoted freedom and tolerance. The right has always promoted conventionalism and the status quo.

 

[Akivah]

Your error is in thinking that you need to agree 100% with the party leader in order to belong to the group. In fact, both parties have a wide range of beliefs contained in each. If you feel you agree with about half of each, then select neither. It isn't a requirement to belong to either party and in fact, the majority don't.

 

[VioletVortex]

You sound lik a libertarian. Libertarianism takes both the libertarian aspects of the left and the libertarian aspects of the right, and excludes the strict authoritarian ones and the "politically correct" ones. I personally hate political correctness.
