By worldview, I think "political view" most likely means the same.
Now I will use vocab. here that might trigger , annoy or polarise. I think it's better I not beat around the bush. And get to the point. Of course I am biased. Subject to change though.
I used to be a "bleeding heart". I felt compassion for anyone who remotely looked like a victim. I supported Freudian psychology that we dwell on childhood traumas. I liked victim narratives. I must be a victim too. I must feel sadness for my own victimhood. In my mind, I was bullied and teased by older siblings. My parents were not competent to mentor me when I needed it. In short I was hypercritical of the people I grew up with. Poor me. No wonder I'm a failure as an adult. Look at the lack of support I had!
But over the last 10 years or so my political views have changed. I started to admire people who overcame childhood adversity. Who became empowered. Resilient. Gained confidence and self esteem. And examples of people who experienced terrible childhood traumas. Worse. Much worse than me. They ditched self pity it seemed to me. They tossed living in the past. Dwelling on grievances. Ruminating. They somehow acquired a pragmatic view of life. " how can I live the best version of my life now?"
Now I realise my adult life has been free of divorce trauma. And I was married for 32 years. Until she died last year. I've been blessed. So fortunate. Still my challenge now is to work through my grief and make something positive of what is left of my life. I can't sit at home every day playing "I wish she was still alive" scenarios in my life.
I think you can see that my approach to life now is closer aligned to the right side of politics. It's made me realise that politics pervades our whole lives. Whether we know it or not. When the right side of politics gets too mean, too unsympathetic to real victims, I back off. I don't support hugely rich companies dictating decisions made by government. Capitalism is the best system but sometimes the greedy need to be pulled in to line.
I just support the motivation and self discipline that is encouraged by a conservative view. We can become like spoilt brats, moaning too much about not getting a fair deal.
Having said all that, there seems to be a few anomalies in America. Such as lack of free medical service. The poor get a raw deal there. Australia and the UK sound better.
