I realized that there was no way out from the fever swamps this past year (mainly because of the Covid hysteria) and have become a hardcore libertarian for the most part.

Given that the evidence all points to the death of any future government that responds to the general welfare, I am tending in your direction.

It is somewhat of a shocking move for me.

If someone had told this former liberal that I would one day become a libertarian (I sometimes like to call myself a "classic liberal" but that confuses the hell out of people) I would have told them to stop taking acid.

Yeah, I'm old enough to remember when I used to hang out with skate punks and rail against the dying embers of the Reagan years and all those idiotic "moral majority" people. The mainstream left in America has replaced those people and in spades.

I feel the very same way. We're at the junction of 1984 and Brave New World.
