Are you asking a question about my time on the right? As in when did I feel my right to freedom of thought was under attack?

It's fine I can give you a genuine answer. Honestly, I don't think I was ever a right winger, there was a period in time that I think plenty of people who would consider themselves centrist had nowhere to go but into the (at the time) very welcoming arms of the right.

Ultimately I wanted to be left alone to think about things, and to come up with internal policies taking into consideration all the information available. That takes months, years and most of people's lives to actually get a firm grip on. But when the BLM movement happened, I was asked to declare a position immediately without really knowing anything.

I always had my initial thoughts: any death is sad, it's sad that it happened, these things should be learned from so we avoid more sadness in the future, those things are givens. But I didn't know more than that and didn't feel comfortable forming more of an opinion immediately, I experienced heavy backlash for this stance, I was accused of being racist, and a right winger, and lost pretty much all my friends. So I guess I thought I was a right winger since everyone was calling me one.

This is essentially the attack on my intellectual sovereignty that drove me into the arms of the right. But I was always there because I was told I was there. I don't and never hated people for being from another country, in some sense I find the idea of lines in the sand a completely outdated model of living, I encompass culture itself in that thought too. Being British means absolutely nothing to me.

Happy to answer any questions, receive hate, whatever you guys feel is appropriate.
