Hey Skycruiser you are OLD like me! Rooster is about ten years younger than me I think, but he has been around the block a time or two...
I brought in the Political Compass test, I think I heard about it from Quora? Anyway, both Rooster and Tink scored very close to the center, while I was about six points off to the Left-Leaning...so to me, they look conservative!
I was learning how to look critically at the news aka MSM from other Tink, but we haven't seen Other Tink for a while, so I am hoping she will come back but a bit worried, because there have been only about five of us regulars on here now...however diverse good discussions.
I learned A LOT about modern liberal ideas from the drama at Evergreen State College in Olympia, where liberal/progressive professor Bret Weinstein was forced out because he did not fit in with uber-strange liberal stuff SJW, it was very bizarre.
Anyway, I learned there is something now called Underground Intellectual Web or something like that, and people like progressive Weinstein and there is a conservative historian I have learned much from, name is Niall Ferguson, and he got forced out by all the bizarre "liberal" policies at universities now.
So anybody who actually thinks anymore is at risk of being forced underground! Bit scary I thought...anyway, welcome and I hope you stick with us here.
