Is it fair to say not believing in the current political system is something of the left of the political spectrum? Or is it that you don't believe in a "big government", which would mostly be right-wing?

I like to think there is a correlation (given anti-status-quo and pro-care "left-wing" versus pro-independence or principled-conservative "right-wing") between BP and one's political persuasion, but it isn't strong in the traditional sense because we want both freedom and care. So too each other negating factors in what is traditionally seen as one-dimensional: left or right.

I think finding freedom important is caused by what makes you BP and having BP makes you find good (state/institutionalised but also (non-institutionalised) solidarity) care important.

Basically, we know better than to simplify. Generally, I think, that makes our mind so messy. But we may rationalise that mess and point out some paradoxical new way to go for politics/society.

Just thinking out loud. And being optimistic that politics will get us to a better future, among many other things.
