I feel out of place on this thread (not because anyome was mean to me, but because people on the thread can post better versions of my thoughts than I can, and are better-informed), though I'm still following with interest. But in response to the last post from @bekkilyn — this is so embarrassing. That this is now "the left." That, as @Silmarien said somewhere, people with at least some liberal ideas have to get creative about what to call themselves. Because in US discourse, left and right now just mean "one proto-totalitarian cult or the other, take your pick."
Although it feels like it's gotten worse on the left. If I ignore the Internet and think only of real people...seems I've met way more people who sound kind of out there on the right, but who are still willing to think that I'm a person. On the left these days...just awful. Awful.
("Liberal distributist" is pretty good, Silmarien...)
