You are not your politics

2021-02-06

Political opinions should not be constituent to one’s personality. Some people use their political opinions to define their personality/persona. People will introduce themselves as being a “progressive” or a “leftist” like it’s their damn MBTI + horoscope. No. You being a “leftist” is a way to describe your philosophical beliefs about government and society. Not some personality type indicator.

It’s true that some personality types have similar political views, but that doesn’t make a political stance your personality.
