@phillmv no offense. i view myself as a social democrat, and prefer reform to revolution as i don’t like mass death.
my views on immigration (i’m pro, but think we have to be cautious about how, framing it in terms of rights and freedoms is exciting but leads to disruption of political community and legitimate blowback) and financial mkts (can’t have a decent society without paring back the rents they distribute, which means your index fund) are the kind of things that get tetchy.
