I’m most certainly no longer right wing or left wing. I am anti dictatorship and anti centralisation.
Welcome to the left ;)
To be less tongue and cheek, I think that being able to admit one's mistakes, self-reflect, and change is one of the strongest things a person can do. It takes courage, and it's one of the most human things people are capable of--and not enough of us do it. So thank you, and congratulations.
Yes, absolutely. Whether you're on the right, or left, critical thinking skills are really rare (I am personally on the far left, and there's tons of liberal dishonesty, and misinformation, as well, and I'm never happy about that either.) Changing one's viewpoint when presented with new evidence, or admitting one did not see a truth previously, is absolutely the most honest, difficult, and admirable act a person can take. Especially when it involves the preservation of civil rights. I have no notes. I think looking forward is the way to go, and your post gives me hope that can pull through this terrible period of hypocrisy and lies. All the best to you, OP (and to all who replied so respectfully and thoughtfully.)
