Mainly thanks to FoC and JayDubya. I mean, there may be parts of the ideology I agree with, but I refuse to be affiliated, even if in name only, to something that attracts such mental dregs. Maybe I should align myself with a front that doesn't attract people so dumb and blinded by simple idealism, like, say, the Nazi party. Or maybe I should just become totally politically agnostic, a political pro cynic, no doubt the true position for someone as coldly logical as myself.

Take it from me, someone who started caring about politics. It's hard to stop.

I like to keep the entire political sector of my conscious completely unexamined, because it's clearly an inconsequential mugs game. A slight variation in taxes, a few liberties taken here and received there. When the revolution ignites, I'll count both decks and make an educated play. Other than that, my nihilistic self-satisfaction keeps me snug.

Libertarian is also a misnomer if they're all as racist as FOC.

I think Libertarians have all had hard childhoods where there was no one to love them. That's why they lack basic empathy.

I'm not racist. Everything I say is driven by rationality. Naruto has taught me that asian people are pathetically weak, and television has taught me that black people are good at being funny butlers. And MySpace has taught me himumu is short.

Where is the racism?

I find it very hard to categorize myself with any particular ideology. I find that I agree with many points and disagree with many points from a broad base of political views. I skew blue, though.

Candyflip · « **Reply #27 on:** November 05, 2007, 08:00:42 PM »

My understanding of the more complex workings of the economy is so shaky I can't even properly take a stance on any fiscal issues anyway.

Someone post one of those political stance quizzes so I can kill 5 minutes.

Well, it is a quiz from a libertarian website. So of course the quiz is biased to convince me I'm "really" a libertarian. Good try though.

I think we need to take into account my ranking on the "batshit insane" rating before we draw that conclusion!

Besides, even if I were a "Ron Paul voter," it's not like I'll ever get the chance--he'll be out by the time the primaries arrive in California.
