I believe in people, and I don't trust power. These are in fact core beliefs of mine, and I hate to say it, but this ideological space is quite lonely.
You don't have to agree, but you're probably not going to change my mind about either. And that makes me few friends; among both liberals, and adherents to more structured forms of left wing ideology.
I've grown to accept that, but also we could just skip all the bad noise because "too late to change this."
