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.

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.

There’s basically no easy answers here, but I’m glad to see I’ve been consistent for a few years in my own posture
