Since joining the Atlas Forum, have you moved more leftward or rightward?

I'm too new, so I'll just talk about myself in the last few years.

Moved to the right socially, but largely because social liberalism in the Western world is so intimately tied with contempt towards people from different cultures and socioeconomic groups - and as at least several people mentioned, this mindset is completely antithetical to economic justice.

Also dramatically moved dramatically to the social right because of stuff like BLM and other SJW-type groups. Also dramatically moved to the right on LGBT issues, but that's largely because I used to be fairly far-left for personal reasons.

Economically, I've also moved slightly to the right, but nowhere as dramatically.

I guess by this forum's metric I've "moved right socially", but really it's just that I've increasingly realized that, at least on some issues, a genuine commitment to left-wing values (equality, justice, solidarity to the oppressed) is simply incompatible with the morally relativistic, "do whatever you want" mindset that dominates modern political thought.

I also found that I was genuinely unable to square sexual liberation/other modern social liberal mores with my appreciation for French Situationism and free love.

Moving 'right' on social issues sort of suggests you've decided it's 'your way or the high way' with respect to whole groups of people. That's really disturbing.

In my case, only with respect to groups of people that are privileged and powerful - to prevent them from screwing over the downtrodden.
