For decades, a certain set of neoreactionaries have called me a radical leftist. Usually because I would note their ideas miss all kinds of unintended consequences. Hilariously, I was early in the tea party stuff until it was clearly coopted by the Ted Cruz types. I've consistently been a centrist libertarian for decades. If a person feels I am a radical leftist, I am confident they are working from a skewed worldview. We have had a social contract since the 1930s to take care of each other through taxes. Like it or hate it, to change this requires the legislature. Current gutting is based on executive action, lawlessly, capturing rents, quashing regulatory enforcement for a certain Mr. Musk and buddies, and otherwise capturing the function of the state and government, to the benefit of cronies. This is antithetical to liberty and freedom.
