None of this I find even disagreeable. For me it's about preserving personal freedom and an approach to those goals, most of which I find perfectly in line with my own. A way to attain those goals that isn't authoritarian in nature would suit me. What big government does to sweden, maybe I can't support a fascist approach but I appreciate and agree with 80% of your end goals. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by objectivity and standards, as that could apply to science, morality, philosophy, etc and in multiple ways for each thing. I'm indifferent to marriage as an istitution, I don't 'like' handouts but think they're a necessary evil for the genuinely down on their luck. I'm not someone who cares much for tradition. but all of that's why I'm not a conservative.

I don't really know where to take this and what conclusive statement to draw out of what I've written to you. Just, this seems to reinforce my thinking that while we can disagree I'm coming to a position of left Vs Right being unimportant because it's arguing over things who's consequnces are minutiae in comparison to the sheer disasters that come out of authoritarianism.
