About a year ago I gave up trying to define “left,” “right,” “liberal,” and “conservative.” The concepts are too nebulous, and people have strong incentives to distort their meanings. There’s no stable “there” there. This has been wonderfully liberating.
totally, i remember resonating with that post of yours. but i took it as an “if by whiskey” move. i couldn’t connect at all with your “tilted compass” series because i had already given up on trying to pin down the terms :P

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it was a way to try to refractor political terms to create a name for a cross-positional but common attitude. The compass not was more about the "sides" as they actually exist.
