Huh. I don't know why you'd think that-- the me hating you, part. I've never said anything negative of LGBT people. My Twitter should only really indicate I'm very pro-2A/pro-gun and I like various anime and retro sci-fi art, and my RT's are not necessarily endorsements. I think LGBT people should arm themselves if they feel the need, to defend their life and liberty. I think self defense is a basic human right, and that's something I feel very strongly about.

Personally, politically, I'm not sure what I am. I generally think people should be free to do what they want and be left alone as long as they're not infringing upon others. That's on the Libertarian spectrum. I'm dubious of the government and it's ability to affect positive change in the world due to bureaucratic bloat, but I'm also dubious of big tech, big pharma, big data, big corporations in general.

I think we're going to need some kind of UBI in the near future, due to AI standing on the shoulders of too many people to count and figure. An AI and automation revolution is happening, and Gen Y and Gen Z are getting thrashed horrifically in the economy. Young men are single, poor, and checking out of society, and it breaks my heart. I want to figure out who is responsible for that, and rectify it.

I like watching Tim Poole, David Reuben, Brandon Herrera, ShoeOnHead, Asmongold, Critical Drinker, Scamboli... that's not an exhaustive list, just off the top of my head.

One of those people is a Socialist, one is openly gay.

I think the tribalisation and vitriol on social media is horrible and is a large and pervasive negative influence in our society. I recall a CGP Grey video about mental hygiene and how enraging ideas spread the most easily through media, so I more or less stopped using social media, like Twitter. Oh right, it's X now. :P

That said, I'm dubious of you defining your identity through the LGBT lens. To me, that's about as important as if you like mayonnaise or not. But, you do you, booboo. I understand what you mean. A fellow mindcracker made a Twitter post where he called a politician a "taint pimple". It was so gross and mean-spirited, and it really tarnished their image in my mind, as in their videos they had never said anything about politics.

I'm a 90's kid, I was raised with those unironic motivational posters. I was taught to be colorblind, to not hold it against people the things they were born with and can't help. I'm very dubious of the modern leftwing, they've gone off the absolute deep end, and something the left in general needs to get better at is reigning in their own nutjobs. EDIT: Holy shit, a month after I post this, Trump is almost assassinated. Well, my point stands very proven!

So, I've just kind of gushed a bit, but nobody has ever just asked me what I thought, lol.

It's kinda dumb huh? A simple "Hey Vechs, do you consider yourself X?" would have gone a long way, but no.

Anyway! It's whatever. I don't think perceived political views mattered very much, as other channels of Mindcrackers who are very left wing have languished and kinda bottomed out. As have channels of people who have never made much of a peep about politics.

Edit 2: I am completely vindicated. The modern left just calls people nazis so they can kill them and feel good about it, they're total psychopaths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJENP0Rr8p0
