Arguing with/opposing racists/sexists/homophobes is almost refreshing now. Simple. Straightforward. That's where I'm meant to be.

I genuinely prefer a proper homophobe to a hypocritical leftie who will condemn or defend homophobia depending on who is doing the bigoting.

I know what you mean! Honesty & consistency count for something. Just tuning up an essay that looks at that. actually.

Cites this. Moral failings admitted to & outright lies enrage us less than values claimed & then betrayed. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/13/opinion/sunday/the-real-problem-with-hypocrisy.html?_r=0 …

Does a "liberal leftie" debate only to change others views, or can they be open to change -even leaning towards centre right on some issues?
-
This one can. Some of my views are rightist.
-
Which ones?
-
Mostly those associated with patriotism & respect for tradition.
-
Those are interesting blends that most centre left ppl tend to frown on - shades of Empire etc. Why 'liberal lefty' and not liberal?
-
Too long to tweet tho many ppl insist I'm centrist. Most in tune with Labour Party aims before it went nuts.
-
Understood. When political parties narrow their focus, individual allegiances start to look like a 'pick n mix' of the good, the bad & ugly
