more right-wing with age?

[Eddi]

I'm beyond the outdated and stifling "right vs. left" dynamic and have been since I was a teen in the 2000s. I don't fit into mainstream Anglo political definitions.

How do you conceptualise different ways of being political?

I've always understood that the Collectivist V Individualist paradigm, was pretty much foundational. The X axis of the so called Political Spectrum graph, complimented by the Liberal V Authoritarian values forming the Y axis. I am placed in the green quadrant, with this system of definition, one of the Liberal Collectivists. The good guys, the chillers.

Personally I conceptualise the political spectrum as ranging from Totally Correct to Totally Wrong

Guess how I imagine how I fit into this

I actually hate the "left-right" political spectrum too. Very problematic.

I don't think conceptualizing political views ought to be even necessary in the first place.

People are too unique and are going through individualistic human experiences to overgeneralize in such a way.

Anglo?
Which political definitions do you subscribe to?

I meant the right/left, liberal/conservative, Republican/Democrat dichotomy that's prevalent in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (the Anglosphere). My views do not fit into it at all.

I believe one's political views are just an outgrowth of their worldview and also their morals and maybe religion. You have a view of how the world should be and you strive to make it so. I'm not sure if I'm answering your question correctly. I may be misreading it. If so, my apologies.

I see. I guess every political outlook is uniquely sculpted from personal experience and character etc..

I can reduce my own political viewpoints to essentially a single idea. Equity. In all things.

It does not help with the old tribalism, that's for sure. I agree. However unfortunately political parties in representative democracies, do present rather monolithic political ideologies, choice is limited, identification with said ideologies, is hard to avoid, if you're a party supporter.
