Just thinking about the political discussion going on here these days... Seems to me we need better labels. 'Right' in English has the unfortunate connotation of 'correct', and 'Left' the connotation (but perhaps only among the better read) of 'sinister'... I think new terms without that baggage are required. I propose that the Left<->Right spectrum be replaced by the Nobel<->Ignoble spectrum, which is more objective accurate in any case.

In the sure and certain knowledge that the problem probably really was insuperable and sooner or later you will be stopped by a subtask you cannot complete... And that will have to be left as an insuperable problem for the next day. Rinse and repeat.

Just started listening to this one, and I'd absolutely recommend it. It's great.
It's really hard to explain how complicated beliefs can be, especially to folks in an urban bubble. The truth is, part of my anarchism came from listening to #rural folks. I didn't really live in a big city until I was like 18, but I came to those places already with a set of liberal biases.
Some of the things I experienced in those places pushed me towards being a Communist. But there are some strangely anarchistic tenancies, even in those who profess to be politically the opposite.
My stance on guns was largely shaped by understanding and extending the arguments of rural gun owners. They continued to evolve long after, but it took actually listening to break through my liberal biases and understand the ways in which gun control can actually intersect with other forms of oppression. There is a lot more nuance than I had grown up to believe.
And it goes both ways. Conservative gun owners have absolutely no intellectual against anarchist gun arguments. They're generally either gonna fall into racism that you can talk about, or start to radicalize left. There are plenty of similar pathways.
But also, not everyone in rural areas is conservative. There are plenty of rural anarchists and communists. They just get buried under stereotypes.
Anyway, this has been great to listen to and I'd recommend it.
