What would you consider your political ideology to be?
I'm just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There's been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.
Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?
I'll start;
I'm anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.
Better question might be "why are you in favor of prohibiting people from getting abortions?"
Being against abortions personally is a totally reasonable thing that doesn't really require an explanation. Being against other people being allowed to get them is different.
Looking at the stats from the CDC about 16% of pregnancies are aborted. All I want is for there to be less people proud of having had an abortion, or at least for less people to find that stance appropriate.
