And I don’t mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

    I was (or at least I thought I was) Libertarian when I was younger. I liked the idea of being left alone to do what I wanted as long as it didn’t hurt anyone else. I still feel that way, but I’m a Liberal now, so first and foremost I want to ensure that everyone has an equal start and that everyone is taken care of.

      Libertarianism is used by the privileged to rationalize their position in society. Having gone through the same progression myself, the realization that not everyone starts on a level playing field destroys the whole philosophy.
