I with you on being naive. I internalized hard what I thought were conservative values trying to understand why the senseless Iraq war happened. Even personally thought in right "libertarian" terms coming in from ancap via cpunks. (reading Unqualified Reservations brought me back from that. Thank you Yarvin, for helping me to see the truth of the matter!) I still never got when red tribe people would say things like "Look what's going on in California", and I'd respond in agreement with actual experience, but still never managed to connect. In retrospect I guess those were merely coded invitations to start openly bashing Hispanics, made doubly ridiculous as they're the native race of that area. I do keep trying to appeal to purported conservative values, as the maggot movement basically fails every coherent single statement of them I've found. So maybe the naivety hasn't gone away, sigh.
