I don't mind being submitted for analysis but I'm about as immune to charisma in politicians as ILM is to Libertines records. I mean, I never voted for Obama, and I've never fucked a bear, with or without an online ad.

i used to think liberals and progressives were much more likely to be self-critical, skeptical of their side, heterodox and less likely to be 'fuck the other team!' sheeple than conservatives. then came facebook.

how do you prove someone is a libertarian? There's always a breaking point with those self-professed libertarian types.

i wonder who the most right-wing ilxor is and sometimes i wonder if it's me
Yeah, I think it was Roger Adultery who was that type, tho there always seems to one or two in the past who float around for a few months before getting banned or floating away

let's be honest - it's not super hard to be the most right-wing ilxor (i mean that participates on politics threads i'm sure we have some random ILMers who believe all kinds of shit) - we did one of those political graph threads a bit ago and posters only fell on 1/4th of the graph space.

Does Dandy Don Weiner still post? He struck me as at least run of the mill GOP if not a bit more right wing than that.

left-orthodox team players are about as close to republicanism as ilx gets imo, at least in spirit.

i'd like libertarians more if they were fictional -- like, if murray rothbard were a character in a novel, he'd totally be the most bizarre and fascinating character.

I've met a handful of both and I have to say I get on a lot better with Libertarians, despite it arguably being a stupider political philosophy. Most of the former I've met tend to be younger fun-loving people whose main attraction to the ideology seems to be wanting the Govt to stop interfering with their shit. Most of the latter tend to be older, angrier and axe-grindier.
