The Student Room Group

I'm sick and tired of being the minority.

I live in London, everyone here leans left. And I lean right. It sucks when you have to justify every single opinion you hold but other people's opinions are the default position. Especially with how everyone on the left now are kinda trigger happy with calling folks racist, fascist, bigot, etc.



Anyone out there that shares the struggle of having to explain why spending a **** tonne of money is not good for the economy?

The UK is slowly becoming a weaker country by the minute.
Our economy is becoming worse and worse, so is our military power.
By 2050, we'd be out of the game, so that's why i'm gonna move to the US or China.
Move to the countryside, you will be welcomed with open arms.

Oh poor you, if only you could live in a country with a strongly right-wing majority governm- oh, wait.


It's not about living under anyone's rule, it's about being socially ostracized and or vilified for holding a different opinion.

If I'm moving anywhere it would probably be the states. There is a bigger appreciation and understanding for freedom over there
Maybe you should just accept the fact that by holding any right of centre view you officially a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic, heteronormative, cisnormative, antisemitic, microaggressive bigot and thus you are LITERALLY HITLER!!!!!!!!!!1111

This is terrible. Why cant you find friends who have your point of view or join groups or activities who do? You dont really say what your views are to see whether they warrant being called a racist, fascist, bigot.

It's good you have a goal in life. Maybe make political friends over there so you have contacts and a network of friends for when you get there.

My views are a bit unconventional, I'm an american-style libertarian. Hard to find folks in the UK that share my beliefs and that's fine.

Thanks for the concern though! :smile:

You should considering this as an opportunity, if your views are more sensible than other and you can defend them logically and rationally, you can show people why what you think is best when you justify your views.
