Where's your Political alignment

This topic was created in the Aquarius forum by aquasnoz on Saturday, May 26, 2018 and has 20 replies.
Does it hang a bit to the left?

I'm always surprised by my own ignorance and my stupidity and obliviousness but that's why we have youtube right? Makes me wonder. I'm expecting Aquas to lean to the left but prove me wrong here.
Isn't he a Leo? But that made me chuckle haha. yeah I mean Sarah Palin is another example. Honestly I'm pretty centered but the GamersGate made me give a shit about politics a while back.

Ya I mean I'd like to think the general populace is a bit more sensible since that controversy but seems the extreme left is saying hi a lot in my news lately. And (I know I quoted this one but I read the other) I have long luscious locks atm you'd be amazed at the interesting topics that come up.

I'm intrigued by how each sign puts their own spin on one side or another. For example, the stereotypical conservative Cap who plays by the book and the outspoken yet meticulous Cap like Jane Fonda (cusp, to be fair) who protests social issues (a lefty thing, right?). It really becomes more than the sign(s), but it's still fun to observe. Of course, a Sag or Aqua influence can arguably add edginess to their earthiness.
For Aqua, I imagine the quirkiness doesn't escape even a conservative Christian type; still devout and church-going, but just something unusual about their routine or thinking. Paul Ryan (House Speaker) and Kevin McCarthy (House majority leader) are right-leaning Aquas, but on the opposite end, there's Bill Maher (another cusper) who stirs the pot quite a bit with his rants. Alex Jones is another and I don't even know where to start with him...entertaining, but he goes to extremes to push his theories and you either like him or hate him.
That reminds me of different churches in town that sway one way or another. Some more rigid or loose than others. Always good to have options; if it brings people together, that's a plus.
Heya jukey long time! Definitely interesting as the Aquas I know I'd identify them as left as most of them tend to disregard traditions and are quite devout of social justice then you compare than to aquas need to be humanitarian which I guess works. I guess boiling it down to the sun sign doesn't really say much for sure.

Say for example I don't disagree with some issues brought up by the left but there's such thing as a step to far e.g. "please call me by my correct pronoun else you're dissing me". Alex Jones.... yeah I'd like to give him away as charity lol.

Perhaps environmental or progressives being more dominant in certain countries and their affiliating countries (look at Sweden or Germany) the voice that's been given to extreme left with advent of social media culture. I think a lot of people will unintentionally identify themselves as left without seeing the whole picture.
Nice share! I definitely view political parties as a trend so I'd consider myself a swinging voter. I mean it's hard pressed for me to find consistency in whichever party since most of them aren't very sound ideologically especially in our systems you pander to one side or another, if you're centrist you risk offending more people lol.
I think there this quote applies:

""If you're not left-wing in your 20's you've got no heart. If you're not right-wing in your 40's you've got no brain"
um.... hmmm lol

my capricorn mother in law who is aqua domnant is very very left wing..

my husband is mroe right wing.. like middle to right. there are views he is more conservative than his mother. lol

my parents are right wing lol conservative.

my sisters are left/right i dont even know whta they are anymore.lol

me... i'm gonna pull a libra and a pisces and say undecided can't decide and got confused Tongue


well personally i dont like super religious because i dont like how they dont accept people for who they are...

and usually super religious are right wingers i think..

like u know gay rights/marraige. i accept that alot. and to conservative views that's no good for them.

i dont like that. i like some freedom and love.

but at the same time i am conservative a bit cause i love the idea of marraige/house properties all those things.

i'm more for human rights for people.

my husbnad is leo dominant soooo... u know it comes out more the leo/aquarius axis where he

represents royalty and i'm of the common people..

everybody is different, thats the nice thing about people smile

I am an odd mix of left and right all my life - I deeply felt and feel for all vulnerable people and I deeply hated and hate moaning if you dont do anything to better your life, blaming it on circumstances (not health-related - the real health related things, like disability)

PS. Left and right is not really a thing nowadays.... unless you live in America, where both wings are bigot (edit: sorry, it just seems like it, but I am sure not everyone is a hard-core and frantic in-your-face activist, most people are normal)

PS2. Maybe we should clarify here what we all mean about being left and right smile

Edit: maybe it evolves during your life, and when you pay heavy taxes, you tend to think about what are your taxes paying

So green left or green right? Not that it matters, just trying to make the connection between your original question and answer.

you should take some history , sociology and poli sci classes ( ones that don't perpetuate lies)

and then get back to me about historically disenfranchised groups.


the real argument is not about whether or not to aid the poor and to properly try to make some type of amends to those we've raped , killed , stole from and and exploited in order to build a "great nation"

the argument is about whether or not we use tax dollars to subsidize corporations who continue to outsource jobs and find ways to pay less taxes than you

and also using tax dollars to develop technology and weaponry under the guise of for the military / protection but really for capital gain as we in turn sell these things other countries that support terrorists groups

we also fight wars exclusively for private interest...it's always been that way

I can't speak for other countries, as a lot of this left/right ideology depends on the political system in place. However here in the U.S., we just LOVE to feel special about our beliefs. So they've created all kinds of political sub-groups within left and right to make people feel special and unique. To me it's utter nonsense but I don't have time to spend my life lobbying, protesting and trying to impose my beliefs on other people. I actually am working, supporting myself and enjoying the life I have lol.

Edit: Pandora101, me: I am just too normal and content

I would recommend it to all extreme activist - to calm down and have a dialog without insults

some people are very clever when it comes how to spend everybody else´s money and some people think they are the only ones who know how it should be smile

Exactly

very well said

I think the main thing is to take care of your own life, alfa and omega smile
I won't say left vs right isn't a thing outside of America. I wrote political alignment because it's an easy thing to relate to but it's part of our own belief systems merely represented by political parties. As someone's already pointed out, centrist parties exist. That said in countries you may not even have a choice and I often times wonder if the same words would be spoken if you live in one of those countries.
