Battlefield

How have your political views changed over time?

I used to feel like life was a constant battlefield of people working against their fellow human beings for shallow and somewhat surface level reasons. I felt under attack by society and politicians, by the bullies who tormented me (and very importantly also tormented my father before me) and racist ideologies like the extreme far-right persons I have encounter either offline or on online forums. And much of my fears and my own worldview was influenced by my past experiences and my untreated schizoaffective condition, along with undiagnosed Asperger syndrome as well.

When I got treatments for my schizoaffective condition my worldview changed over time partly because I now saw different aspects of political themes, how we can work together and fight for true justice. I also had more space within my mind to form independent opinions with clarity and especially the voice-hearing got less severe and disabling, the voices drain your spirits heavily and this really changed with time.

So I’m a fighter spirit but with faith in our world.

How have your political views changed over time?

I’ve always been quite far-left politically and I’ve identified as anarchist for many years. I always learn more about the World and my views change slightly from month to month. I also grew up with left/far-left family ideology, my great-grandfather was a true communist and he was even under attention from the Ruling class for his views. I have not gotten more conservative at all with the years but I’m more clear what I truly want to fight for, what is important to my activism.
