I've got 1 percent left on my phone, so at the last minute I'm saying hello, because I like y'all (even if I'm not a follower/convert).
But while I'm here, I'll take any flak you got -- I won't argue or go into lib disproving mode. I saw the leftist AMA the other day and left disappointed, so I just thought I'd take the temperature of the board a little, from my nonthreatening obvious interloper account.
(And if I don't respond, it's because my phone died and I'll be back later, charged.)
Frustrated, furious, anxious, excited, cool as a cucumber -- How are you?
Maybe I should've said "leftist" instead -- in any case, one of the big targets for mocking/etc on this site in particular.
But yeah -- there's totally a Horseshoe Theory at play with the whole right-left thing.
The mocking is frustration. We feel that there is a part of the picture that a "leftist" can't see due to conditioning. It's not personal. Anyway, you are here observing and engaging and that's great. Really admirable.
I've got a link for you:
Please don't be offended by the title. This KGB guy gave his life to warn people about the ultimate nature of communism and what it's really for. "useful IDIOTS" is his term and it means supporters who are to be used and then discarded.
It'll fascinate you either way.
