Economically, I am pretty right wing. Latin America's hard left has done a ton of damage and I can't wait to see them gone for good.

I tend center on social issues. I feel like my background doesn't really allow me to sympathise a lot in various issues I see like gender, "cultural appropriation", identity, radical feminism, etc, which is something very widely discussed by other students at the US college I'm in right now.
That said, when it comes to refugees, immigrants, true feminism, I understand those are real issues and behave like a compassionate person would.
I strongly dislike people on either extreme, "SJWs" and "racists".

Same. I don't know what "numbered world" Venezuela is on, but first world problems are so completely different to what I worry(ied?) about back there. It feels like a whole new planet. Then again, I look at people individually and I feel like we aren't so different... Weird life.

On an unrelated note, remember when you posted on my wall one or two years ago about it being Maduro's last year as president? Sigh... It's amazing no one has given him the JFK (although once a lady tried it with a mango ), but I feel he won't make it past 2018 as president, though 2017 still has a long way to go. Which freaking blows, since he would be leaving with just 1 more year to go.

I feel a lot of U.S. colleges and their politics are heavily centered towards "social justice". I mean... What the heck does that even mean?

People at Austin were at one point protesting about Texas's "strict sexual expression laws", I once heard a few students arguing that people not only should love anyone they want but the next step is as many people as they want, then there is the bathroom gender debates, "microaggressions", and some really, really first world stuff. I even feel that those things even take precedence towards some more reasonable social issues like religious tolerance, immigration and refugees. Maybe cause it's easier.

Maduro... Honestly he might just be the worst ruler ever. Hopefully he loses power soon and he gets put in the padded cell where he belongs, and Cabello and Rodriguez on jail and the Venezuelan people finally have some peace.

Ecuador is facing elections this weekend, very tight elections to elect Correa's (Venezuela's closes ally) successor or a right wing leader. I have my fingers crossed.
