Hmm. My ideology is a function of distance. Reactionary at kitchen scale, communist in a 10-block radius, capitalist at city scale, social democrat at region scale, globalist neoliberal at nation+ scale, Libertarian starting at LEO. Anarchist past moon orbit.

Somewhat similar out in time. Communist a week out, Libertarian a century out, anarchist 200 years out.

Replying to @vgr
How much of this is idiosyncratic? How much of this is sort of baked in to human nature? I too feel "communist" in a "ten block radius"... it's simple self interest, imho. It's at the margins, and under the liminal veil, that we get the most freedom to choose.

I'll build you an armchair. It will be like Tony Stark's suit. Probably just as dangerous.
