Most people are so binary in their thinking,

and the tenets of “the ” and those of “the ” have shifted so much (sometimes even exchanging places) in the last couple of decades,

that I want to write a post titled “Am I on the Right?”

(kind of [like did](medium.com/@burntoakboy/which-))

listing all the views I have that would be automatically considered left-wing by many people today.

And then perhaps “Am I on the Left?”, too.

@tripu "Defend legal rights"

"Get rid of all legal restrictions on speech"

"Defend due process."

"Diminish official interference into people’s personal and family lives."

"The United Kingdom is unusual in having no single written constitutional document that can be enforced by the courts. Instead it has a political constitution, which relies heavily on norms and conventions. When challenges arise, it rests on a shared understanding of the rules and the principal actors being willing, for the most part, to abide by them—the “good chaps” theory of government."

A Constitution would be one way to achieve that.
