Eveverytime the same general area: Shifted slightly to the right, always next to the line between authority and liberty and never straying away too much.

What is your current political belief?


I don't think any party - at least on top of my head - thinks like me. Priority to mid-term politics rather than short or long term, power shift, autonomy and adaptability based on leader skill and such. I'm rather arbitrary on that second statement, though, hence why I have a hard time picking sides. I guess the closest I can imagine is old imperial china's Mandate of Heaven general idea.

What was your political belief one year ago and what changed?


One year ago I was kind of wrapping my mind around ending that phase of your life in which your political siding changes on a monthly basis. At that point I was relatively similar to now, though shifted towards authoritarianism a bit more socially, yet pro-market economically.

What is your strongest priority in politics now?


Stability, economically and socially. No matter the adverse starting point - whether you are rich or poor - if society and it's economy are stable you can always rise and live a happy life with not much to worry about. This basically encompasses inflation and criminality control while avoiding riots. Anything else is a side effect and a plus.

What country do you live in?


People's Soviet Socialist Democratic Republic of Brazil.

If elections were held today, what party would you vote for, and why?


Assuming Brazilian elections -> I can't think of anyone to vote. Most candidates aren't out since election is a good 2 years away, and some of the probable candidates are currently playing cat-and-mouse with the cops here, so... >_>

Assuming American elections -> Donald Trump. Anyone other than Clinton and Trump realistically has no chance this time around. And a vote for Clinton is a vote for f*cking over every nation in South America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Asia except Japan, Central America, Africa and the UK.

Assuming British elections -> Boris Johson, sticking to the UK's conservative and UKIP parties. Sorry Ox.

All other elections are not relevant enough/I don't know about them.

Which political party or ideology do you fear the worst?


3) Any kind of completely totalitarian state, including but not limited to Socialism, Fascism and Communism, specially the latter - Excessive authority leads to requiring the leader to be skilled and well-intended, if either is not true then the results are unstability in the form of coups or constant revolt. The leftist ones are specially dangerous because of the tendency to be more soft-speakers and look nicer than they really are, making them harder to eventually get rid of.

2) Any kind of completely lack of authority, including but not limited to Anarcho-capitalism and Anarcho-communism, once again specially the latter - The lack of it is even more dangerous, because it leads to frequent conflicts and battling over the most trivial matters. No authority doesn't mean "unstable", but "fragile stability", as beautiful of a bubble as it might seem, it can be popped with ease. What I said above about the left as a whole is once again valid, if we get too scared of moving back to a more stable society due to the people's fear of a power shift away from them, the unstable periods will last even longer.

1) Fear of the past as a whole - Some people are too scared to discuss controversial topics or be willing to change to past methods. People who easily get offended by things they have nothing to do with (9/11, nazism, slavery) essentially block people from discussing such events and what we learned from them. The result is that people automatically look at anything remotely associated with them as bad (e.g. saying that fascism is evil and always leads to many deaths), making them uncapable of pondering positively about them (see: Godwin's Law) and learning from them. Attempting to filter out the past simply because "people died" is hypocritical and leads to nothing. If you want to be able to actually argue, you need to be able to see both sides of the coin. If you can't keep an argument telling all the goods and bads of ANY - I repeat, ANY - political system, then you're not ready to dictate which are good or bad at all.

We get it. You hate Belgium. We aren't relevant enough for you but at least favor De Block rather than Magnette and DeCock.

Flemish export to Canada makes up 87% of Belgian export to Canada
Flemish import from Canada even makes up a stunning 97% of Canadian import in Belgium

Wallonians being dicks. They had nothing to lose but to ruin their relations with their northern neighbour. Thanks Paul Magnette!

This is a big big hardship, but often what happens is that talking turns into arguing turns into closed mindedness. This is what happened in Georgia about talking to Stalin - folk just grew more closed minded and more into their own camps.
