RE: The Monster Has Returned... Red... Stop the Reds while you still can... [History Repeats]
And some of us don't go for the False Dichotomies that there are only two sides. (not saying this is you) I am not Left, I am not right. I am not a Hillary supporter (actually kind of despise her), nor am I a Trump supporter (he is an ass).
So I can see hypocrisy flying around from BOTH of these supposed TWO types of people. It's easy to see when you are not either of them.
I get called RIGHT and assumed to be a TRUMP supporter by some people. I got called Elizabeth Warren several times on reddit the other week and assumed I was LEFT.
People REALLY need to step out of this binary LEFT/RIGHT, US/THEM mentality. Things look a lot different when you stop identifying as one of those fabricated binary choices.
Yeah, real life has multiple axes. I am not much right and not much left, but even less Authoritarian. I usually call myself a Contrarian even though I vote (LP). But like you, whoever looks at me usually can find a reason to put me on their side if they like what I am saying, or against their side if the truth hurts.
I most identify at this point as an Anarcho-Capitalist... though I tend to still vote and try to fight where I can. I voted Libertarian party, and where no LP was available I would vote for another third party. If I was forced to choose Dem/Rep... I did mostly an eenie meenie miny moe type thing and just alternated. Functionally I don't see much difference between them.
I don't like the idea of governance, but it does not cease to exist and stop impacting my family simply because I want it to stop. "If I don't like it, move" is also not a viable option. :(
So I mostly educate, discuss, learn, share, etc. And study a lot of history. Ask questions. Try to think up new questions to ask that might traditionally not be popular.
