For me it's not even that, I'm geeedy, i want a stable, happy society because that makes for a happy life for me. I don't want to have to deal with homeless when I walk down the street, so I want social housing and healthcare for them. I don't want unwanted children in society, so women haveing total control over reproduction is vital.
Any modicum of reseach can show you the dangers in society when there are large levels of wealth inequality, it literally destroys society, so i want high taxation of wealth and high death taxes and legislation to restrict incomes and capital.
Any sane person looks at cars and tranportation and the deaths from pollution, noise, urban sprawl, accidents and destroying the enviorment, so i want decent cheap electric public transport and cycling infrastructure.
I know when i travel, visas and borders are fuxking annoying and i don't want them at all. People only up and move from their family and friends if something toxic is happening , so let them, I'd want the same thing for me
I'm the anthesies of most people it seems, I was conservative when I was young, had a STEM degree but the more i read and observe the more I understand most conservative view points are mostly toxic to a livable society.
Religion should never be involved in state affairs, including ALL education, it's pernicious, people should be horrified to see "In God we Trust" in their justice sustem but here we are.
