Hi, centre-left liberal here. I have to say, the way that the authoritarian left bastardized the word "liberal" and has set out to destroy free speech has driven me a bit more right than ever before. I disagree with more conservative and right wing people on here and on places like 8chan but I have to say I usually enjoy the following conversations far more than people who scream "oppression" as soon as I begin to question them. I believe in individual liberties and democracy above all and that means I occasionally have to hop between which "side" I find myself supporting, though a preference for some socialist ideas gives me a bit of a left bias. Sometimes I find myself debating alongside ancoms and sometimes I find myself alongside neo-Nazis, it really helps when it comes to understanding how other people think.

But to answer the question, I think it's perfectly normal. Kinda like the situation in British politics for myself, no liberal party which supports equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome.
