Left of Gandhi---that's impressive.

Also, I tend to think in terms of human rights rather than individual rights. If one of the Koch brothers had his money taken away for some reason, and then given to some homeless guy, I'd probably cheer. As much as capitalism is a great thing in many ways, it's turned into extreme hoarding to the detriment of my country, and I'm not cool with that.

Firstly, let's distinguish from human rights and fundamental rights. Essentially they are the same, human rights are the ones we speak in the UN, form an international scale, fundamental rights are up to each country, but a minimum of fundamental rights must match human rights. That being said, human rights and fundamental rights are individual rights, because they belong to each person and inalienable, each individual can make subjective personal use of their rights. You see, in other countries the opposite is happening, the government intervened too much and now people want more capitalism, my guess is too much of something is not good. I don't know tho the Koch brothers are but I'm against taking people's money as an obligation, instead of welfare I support creation of sustainable jobs, it's harder but the best solution on the long run. I live in a country with houses for homeless people done by charity, they have food, a bed, water and hygiene, most of them don't go there because they don't like having hours to lay down and wake up, can't drink, can't smoke, can't consume substances, etc... So honestly where I am living currently I don't feel sorry for most homeless, I can count by the fingers the ones that aren't drug addicts.

When I really look at the US and what problems it has, it's not hard to notice that the extreme sides of the political spectrum are what are fucking my country up. Black and white doesn't work in a country with 314 million people, and I'm sick to death of the pretense that it does through the electoral college.

That's what I meant when I said both sides should just handshake and go for an equilibrium, my rant in politics was right libertarian pretty close to the middle and I wouldn't mind making an agreement with a left wing person if it was for the good of my country. I still think these quizes are biased with american way of seeing things, questions like 'are white people superior?' or asking if 'the death penalty should be allowed?' make no sense for an european and will only leave me more on the left than I am, just like the questions regarding military, my country doesn't intervene in anything so I don't have a specific answer for them
