If that's what I'm getting, I'll get and be gone.

For a broad view of where I stand politically: I am a progressive socialist and anarchist. I'm not running for political office and never would (I just want a government that serves the people). If you're interested in Bernie Sanders economic agenda here is his 12-point plan. I mean I could have an interesting discussion with Sanders about details of his plan and I would probably put more emphasis on self-organization mechanisms through providing the biosocial foundation of a basic income, but I mean Sanders approach is a good first step, and he would scare too many Americans off talking about basic income.

EDIT:

And I have no interest in being universally likeable. I mean interact with me if you get something from it, but please don't if I'm annoying you.

I'll get got by the crowd whether I speak well or not. I've gone down this shit road before on Hubski and all it leads to is more pretending. It's easier to pretend to have value by being quiet because people can't fault not speaking.

He's not attacking you, it's all good.

I actually appreciate you teasing out specifics from him, he can be vague sometimes. And yeah, it's really dense stuff. Evolutionary anthropologists will do that to you.

Cheer up, you're one of us! :)

Just to clarify what happened here because Quatrarius deleted his original comment. He explicitly said that he didn't like me (and that's fine) but I thought I should have at least responded. I don't want any hubski-beef and I never mean to offend anyone...

Oh, I don't think anyone needs you to clear your name, Cadell.

Even when we've adamantly disagreed, you're far more than decent about it.
