REALPOLITIK

My political position is realist.   That means I'm not on the right, I'm on the left.   Over the years, I've learned that morally defined political positions and positions on identity are expressions of the neuroses of individuals and groups.   You can give such advocates of change rather a wide berth and watch them fizzle out.   The views of those who proclaim that identities of one sort need to compensate identities of another sort are based in Judeo-Christian notions of soul purification.   Purifying one's soul, however you go about it, is not a realistic political solution to political dilemmas.

That just means you've got religion.
