How does your WV inform your politics?

[Thumpalumpacus]

My WV, in this case the acceptance that people are easily manipulated and aren't free agents, informs my political views.  I stopped being a freespech extremist and moved towards the European liberal socialist model of harm reduction.

What is your worldview?

Well, first off, I'm not a "free-speech" extremist in my own view, though I'm unsure what you might consider extremism in that realm. I call out shitty speech when I hear it, but I don't think that the government should criminalize the expression of opinions, even ugly ones. I do think advocating for violence should be -- and largely is -- outlawed.

As for my "worldview"? Well now that's a question! I like being left alone and don't like preachers of any variety -- including your own. I think people ought to be free to live as they wish insofar as that doesn't harm others, and yes, that means compromise, which is a key word. I think it's better to change minds than to impose views, as a result of my belief that sound argumentation will trump brute force. I don't, as a result, trust those who would impose by law that which they cannot convince me of with reason.

I guess you could say my "WV" is reason, not law. But because I live in a world ruled by law, I must -- you've already read the word -- compromise.

You'll come to understand this one day.
