Who is your ideological twin?

[AN63093]

No one that I know of.

Granted, I haven't been posting here long, but I've popped in now-and-then since maybe around 2008ish to get an idea of what people were saying on certain issues (and also to read the demographics forum, as that's a personal hobby of mine).  No one comes to mind.

I'm someone who is both non-religious, but also a strong traditionalist and something of a "light paleo-con" on a lot of issues.  I find the religious right to be incredibly... tacky.  That being said, as counter-intuitive as it would seem, I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of a state church, with socially expected participation, like the old Anglican Church.

I'm also not a free market fundamentalist and find those people to be very uncouth and petit bourgeois.  Once upon a time, over a decade ago when I was in college, I used to be more of a libertarian.  But that was more because I found quoting Nozick pissed off my more liberal-leaning professors that weren't sharp enough to rebut him.  That and it gave me a convenient philosophical justification for not wanting to share my money (or at that time, my parents' anyway), other than "I'm a selfish prick."  Obviously I've grown up quite a bit since then.


I'm not sure anyone comes close to me here.  Not that I'm a unique snowflake or anything, just haven't come across this person (if he exists).
