I have tolerated differing opinions for a long time, but it seems that practically no one, or very few people at all share even even remotely similar philosophical or political beliefs with me. And as a result, I am always stuck at the end of a truckload of criticism without anyone to ever genuinely agree with. The criticism itself is not a problem, but the sheer amount of it can be tiring, and having no one to actually agree with is lonely, despite me being an introvert.

I am a libertarian, and I strictly abide by the Non-Aggression Principle, but I do not personally know a single other libertarian who does. One of my greatest passions is philosophy, and it is where I dedicate a great amount of my time and interest, but having no one to ever discuss it with always places me in a bad mood, since the extent of discussion I ever get is downright criticism.

For a long time, I have wished to live in a nation which did not resort to violent force in collective of taxes, violations of basic liberties, or any sort of intrusive government. While America is a great nation and all, it does not seem to any longer abide by these principles. I would leave and go somewhere else, but really the entire world exhibits these same traits.

Everyone always gives the same advice to simply "talk with those who are similar to you", but when it comes down to my honest philosophical beliefs, I can find no one. It is really making me begin to despise my waking time. All I want is somewhere to settle in which I can live by the philosophies that I choose, and some individuals that I can have honest conversations with, where I can honestly agree with the vast majority of what they say. But it seems like the world simply cannot leave me alone, despite that I respect the lives, liberty, and property of others, and despite the fact that I generally leave the world alone.

I do kind of understand where you're coming from. I an introvert but I have very strong opinions based on my values etc (am not a religious person but have very strict values). I know what you are saying about people being kind of put off by you. Please feel free to PM me - if nothing else I can debate some political ideas with you with absolutely no holds bared and no offence taken.

So, you just described my political beliefs in one post. I don't talk politics on the forums but I would with PM, if you ever wanted someone to discuss these things with. I also hold heavy interest philosophy. Granted, no two people will agree on every political issue, but I won't jump down someone's throat because they disagree with me.
You're more than welcome to message me about it. I know I'm just an internet phantom, but it's something, I guess. If you want it.
I'm sorry that people isolate you for your beliefs; that isn't right.
