Please share your interest to me through these questions. Feel free to answer as you wish but use the questions as a guide please.
Now, I am definitely more interested in your interests than mine but wanted to share my own as a warmup.
I am so happy to read what passion you have in your life, how it came to you and how it reveals itself.
1. Democratic Socialism2. I think at about 16 or 17 i realized Tony Blair wasn't all that and that there were better ideas to the Left of him.3. I am not an activist ,like i once was ,as these days i am dealing with illness both mental and regular. And also my Autism seems to be affecting me more with age.4. It's evolved into "wanting" to know about all aspects of politics and ideas. So i can know why i am in opposition to them5.. I still hold the ideas but will disagree with the collective ideas of my political tribe on occasion.
I wouldn't call politics a special interest of mine, more a necessity to understand. After graduating in 1981 and ending up jobless, the hostility I encountered from certain quarters was like acid being thrown in my face. I wanted to know what that was all about, as apart from psychologically being very difficult to deal with, it also made me very angry. Ultimately it polarised things between my mother and myself for good.
I became an activist too, but also found I did not necessarily like everything I found on the other side either. Things can become very split and polarised, with either-or tunnel vision. Nowadays the parameters have changed again.
But I think it's important to understand the dynamics of ideologies and what drives these, to know what we are up against really.
Really cool to hear from you, nice to hear about your interest in politics. Former Member
Do you know why you have this really awesome interest? Is it that you have a bigger picture of how the society should be ruled, how people should live or do you see something that I can´t see in politics?
What is the mission of an activist? I think about someone who does something for a bigger purpose and I love it.
Feel free to talk about anything from your interest, I am not very good as an emotional supporter but I must say that I hope you will get better from your illness.
I love business and in politics I think corporations are really good for the societies.
