    One interesting thing I've noticed is that all the writers I know who have blocked me are neo-conservatives, moderate conservatives or moderate/centrist liberals. Paleo-con right, libertarians and socialist left are more indulgent of me.

        Paleo-cons are my favorite. I grew up among them. Comfort of the familiar.

        I like paleo-cons too, except (obviously) for the racist ones. The good ones often have a bracing critique of the modern world.

        Yeah, this finding totally fits with my prejudices -- so much so I'm wary of it.

        That is because all of those groups are united in an understanding that the Establishment has created the global problems we face today. While they may differ in their suggested treatment courses, all have successfully diagnosed the disease.

        Paleocons have the Presidency, neocons just have their failing magazines and petty feuds on Twitter. Sad!

        Why would anyone block you? Seriously, I can't imagine it. You say a lot of things that I disagree with, even some things that are indefensible, but you don't harass or troll anyone.
