Topic: The Popular Divide (Read 450 times)
Thats right, there used to be opposing viewpoints, now it's full conservatism or conservatism lite. And it started with all the fuss about 'privicy', and I don't mean the real deal or genuine concerns, I mean the politics.
Those two views aren't opposing, are they? I think you may be confusing the different leading parties in the US and UK
You wouldn’t encounter that problem were you to embrace postmodernism, existential nihilism, and anarchist communism.
I'm an ancap that postures himself as a Rand Paul Republican to blend into normal circles and push the envelope when it lends itself to me.
Does anyone else feel increasingly pushed to either side of a political/ideological divide?
1. Conservative (England)/republican (US) view of issues such as war, race, religion, crime, benefits, pollution and sexuality. Non academic. Nationalist.
vs
2. Superficially liberal/centre left. Conservative (England)/Republican (US) view of crime, benefits and possibly pollution. Pro privacy, pro local and anti efficiency. Conspiracist.
Where 'neither' is suddenly a tedious position to maintain.
