Tied at 89% for Socialist, Green, and Peace&Freedom.
87% Transhumanist, a party I'm not familiar with.
86% Democratic, the de facto party of choice for my area.
85% American Solidarity, which surprised me a lot, I hadn't heard of them but the short description I saw lead me to assume I'd have been opposite to them. Actually, they seem fairly socialist and conservationist on economic issues so I guess they must be a religious party actually considers the teachings of Jesus in their platform for once. Also quite particularist, which I do agree with on broad principle.
51% Libertarian, which'll be the "personal freedoms" half. I identified with that party more when I was younger, but these days it's clear that governments are far from the only source of oppression in our society, and can be a tool against the predations of corporate greed.
21% tied Republican and Constitution. More than most of the leftists on here, anyway.

who tf are the peace and freedom party anyway. I've never heard of them or the transhumanists. No idea what socialist party the Socialists represent either.

Also I'm less of a republican than MSH, I'm not sure what that means.
I vote peace and freedom, on the rare occasion when I think they have a chance. It's a socialist party with more focus on respecting the rights of people of all cultures/ethnicities. I think they're mostly in California though. "Socialist" is the Socialist Party of America, you can see their logo at the end.

I mean, day before yesterday, in a game I've been playing recently I murdered hundreds of people trying to defend their home from an invading force, and hundreds more trying to rebel against a totalitarian criminal gang that seized the local government.

These are not things I'd do, recommend, encourage, or accept as reasonable in real life, under most any circumstances. A game is, in fact, a game, and not only is there nothing unusual or contradictory in holding beliefs and to behaviors at odds with those incentivized in games, I'd hope to every fucking hell imaginable most people would hold beliefs and to behaviors at odds with the omnicidally sociopathic horseshit games tend to reward :P
The first time I played EU3, I eventually quit because I felt morally quite horrible for consistently increasing centralization and slaughtering all the rebels that caused. Mechanically optimal, but very opposite to my actual philosophy. Conversely I like Vicky 2 because even though the culture of the age si very much about exploiting the people, you can still build your country around helping the poor and they'll reward you by becoming more valuable citizens, like in real life.

I'm greedy; I wish vic2 had just a few more mechanics to simulate the service sector and the spanish flu. I know HFM added banking, but it'd be cool if there was a proper services sector tied to how the wider economy was doing, so you'd be able to simulate 20th century Britain's reluctance to get involved in wars lest they disrupt banking and insurance for example. Would also allow you to create luxury victorian space gay eco communism.

If you could also change the visible size of your male population to include the old or young depending on your conscription, child labour & women's rights laws, that'd be even spicier. But I imagine literally doubling the pop count might be bad for computer performance.

They might be one of those conservatives that believes in conserving society, environment & culture, instead of conservatives but only in the sense of a corporate tax cut whilst conserving nothing much at all

(I wouldn't worry to hard about it, school's important and all that.  Its just a crazy year out there I think.  I go in-and-out of communities all the time so I didn't think too much of it.)

Weird, I thought I’d be on the wholesome section, also my memes were from YouTube videos, and that wasn’t an option so Google Images was I thought the closest substitute

I feel like I was only selecting sentence angers me most of the time.

Also I have no idea what's wrong with napping. Napping is the cornerstone of my everyday.
