political beliefs

If you have a political belief, is it:

  • something that would work in a perfect world, but you know wouldn’t work in this one.
  • something you believe roughly, but aren’t fully confident in.
  • something you believe for yourself, but wouldn’t enforce upon others
  • something you believe, but can’t enforce
  • something you believe, but can’t enforce without side effects you feel uncomfortable with (like a surveillance state)
  • something you believe in and would enforce.

Legality is not morality. There are many things that I believe should be illegal and believe are morally correct (disruptive protest).
