I'm a Christian who doesn't celebrate Christmas. You can imagine how that goes over with the family. But it's definitely a super pagan celebration. 🤷

I am a socialist in a "small" party in rural most conservative not fascist state of my nation. Soo the answer is: yes
But ironicly talking with 60+ about the topics they all agree and say they would vote for me but then between 20 year olds and gen X, complete disagreement (eventhough what i want to change is what they are complaining about) And its not just policies just my lifestyle is mocked in all kinds of ways and im just like...cooking from stratch for example used to be the way of life here...about which these villagers (intended) constantly say "city people dont know how to XYZ" but then them buying soup stocks and plastic packed meat from the supermarket instead of the butcher/cutting up the meat yourself and doing it yourself.
Its a real mystery to me. But i guess you cant argue with stupid
Maybe calling people stupid is part of it?
People like to vote for relatable candidates. Someone that represents them. If I were a local “villager”, I’d probably expect someone to know what cooking from scratch is.
I’m bullish on open borders. Not lack of sovereignty, and all fully documented. But if people are emigrating/immigrating “illegally”, there’s only one real solution. Tightening borders only benefits the well-off and slavers. Poor people are well aware it is possible to be poor in an MEDC. And mostly colder.
Its amazing all the different groups that want to hate, and argue, when someone admits that they believe in God.
Some of us see how much damage magical thinking has done to humanity and the planet, I guess.

Considering the death toll religion has wrecked across history I think it's fair to dislike the practice in the modern day. Like, don't get me wrong I really care about the canon of my favourite stories but I'd never launch a crusade over someone elses fan fic of it.

Believing in facts and reality over ideology and idealism.
And as an extension of that, focusing what people do, not what they say they do or want to do.

At this point I don't really have anyone I identify with.
I don't think AI is the devil. Liberals/leftists are frightening lately over this topic, in a way that is increasingly difficult to construe as anything other than garden-variety technophobia and anti-intellectualism.
People jump to crazy conclusions when they learn why I never had children. They think I'm a eugenicist because I made a decision for myself even though I specifically don't give a fuck what others do.
Liberals/leftists get strangely aggressive about wanting a cure for my genetic disorder. This apparently also makes me a eugenicist.
