Not a real option. It may feel liberating to give up but doesn’t mean there isn’t a there there or that it doesn’t apply to you if don’t define it for yourself. Even patterns of giving up have left/right/lib/con tells. They’ve gotten convoluted rather than nebulous.
btw, I’m not saying I’m opting out of choosing a side (although, kinda). Rather, I’m opting out of trying to essentialize the labels. I recognize their validity as flags/banners for the current moment, but not as enduring/stable concepts.
The conclusion I’ve reached is that they *were* stable and enduring concepts that evolved coherently for 150-250 years each, and have all “died” in the last 2 decades. So I half agree with you. They’re not stable and enduring into the future. They’re decaying corpses.
I’ve described culture war in private conversations as choosing which of 4 funerals of political personae to attend at the end of history. My labels for the 4 corpses don’t line up cleanly with the 4 labels you’re rejecting but are fairly simple mappings. I’ll blog this soon.
I haven’t participated in the franchise in over a decade. If “opting-out” is anything more complex than that, I may be said to be of some label or another.
But I may agree with Kevin, here. Of my own political posture, my actions and purchases are just as nebulous and more representative of me than any ballot I could cast.
