I sincerely believe that the people who actually benefit from right-wing ideology are very few and far between, and that the large numbers of people who support rightist causes are actually acting against their self-interest, but unfortunately are pitiable victims of lavishly-financed corporate brainwashing.

This means that I love my fellow-man, for the most part, but also that I'm condescending, even arrogant. So be it.

That's why I keep my opinions under my hat in most situations. The loudmouth rabblerouser you know here at Mudcat is actually pretty meek and quiet in most areas of the public arena.
