Rather predictably another viral mob came after me, this time for the sin of apologising. Then followed libellous articles calling me “right-wing” and such. Though there’s nothing wrong with being conservative, when forced to politically label myself I flutter between “centrist”, “liberal” or the more honest “bit this, bit that”. Being labeled erroneously just goes to show how binary political discourse has become. I had criticised the “Left”, so I must be the “Right”, or so their logic goes.
I am willing to entertain the notion that he is being sincere and is not actually a hardcore right-winger, but in that cause he is also a smoothbrained dipshit with an absolute dogshit terrible understanding of politics.
Oh and furthermore, labeling yourself "bit this, bit that" only means that you have not taken the time to properly reflect upon your own politics. It means that you spontaneously judge issues when they appear by your gut-feeling, instead of having a coherent set of guiding principles pointing towards a specific goal by which to inform your opinions. This is why you see so many people who hold contradictory opinions, they haven't taken the time to develop this consistent set of base principles.
