A disease is quickly spreading throughout your country's population, and a large portion of your population is at risk. This includes obese people, the elderly, and people with pre-existing conditions.
During the pandemic, states and countries all had different approaches.
Would you shut everything down? US
Would you shut everything down, give people money for support, and provide them with food? South Korea
Act like the disease doesn't exist and hope COVID patients don't flood your hospitals. Florida

Due to laissez-faire failures in the 19th century, I personally don't consider right-libertarianism a realistic ideology. Especially in our industrial economy. You need labor laws, a safety net, infrastructure, and some government intervention. Laissez-faire was a factor in the severity of the Irish Famine. In our connected world, diseases spread quickly. The government has to be able to protect its people.
Right-wing populism is out of the question, and so is all nationalistic forms of capitalism. Isolationism ruins economies; look how Brexit destroyed the UK economy. Living conditions worsen under fascist corporatist economies, as labor unions are busted, the wealthy are given tax cuts, there's privatization, and welfare programs are reduced. While you can own property with little government intervention in fascist economies, I'm not a fan of authoritarianism.
I don't consider Communism as well, this includes left-communism, an-communism, etc. Marxist communism led to authoritarian forms of communism, such as Maoism, Stalinism, etc. The government dictates everything you do, and you can't own property.
I don't consider left-libertarianism as it runs into the same problems as auth-left and right-libertarianism. It also hasn't been implemented on a large scale, so I don't have any real-world examples to compare to.
I'm center-left, so I stick to centrist ideologies.
20 years ago, it was all about AFI, My Chemical Romance, The Used, Silverstein, Alexisonfire, Thursday, Thrice, Senses Fail, etc.
Metalcore is a hybrid genre that combines hardcore punk with metal. In the 70s, metal and punk were still new genres of music and hadn't influenced each other yet. Do you think you would be a punk or a metalhead?
I would've probably listened to punk. I'm not a fan of 70s metal.
Ideologies are dated and need to adapt to modern technology. People still support ideologies from the 18th and 19th centuries, which are no longer relevant. Laissez-faire was created as a backlash against mercantilism, and socialism was created as a backlash against Laissez-faire.
I've noticed every single form of capitalism falls into one of these three categories
