As most of you know, I am somewhat politically confused with a mix of views from different points along the left-right continuum and have expressed (or maybe not?) somewhat dissonant views on various topics. Most of this I've attributed to differences in reasoned understandings and preferences.

Well yeah in the established 2D view it's horrible. I think it's meant to confuse us, no I'm sure it is. Well you know how I rank in the general 3D view from those posted quizzes, closer to the center than most/all here, on a little right and a little libertarian. Not my ideal placement but what I've come to consider works in this environment.
But what I consider functioning is not our present reality in practice. It's all about name tags now, with the old names crossed out and something new scribbled in. Like Hillary is NOT "right", but left-authoritarian. Everything that falls out of her mouth is based on deception to get as many votes as possible by those not paying attention to what she's done over the decades. People like McCain are just the same, votes right along with it. Capitalism isn't capitalism, but primarily corporatism now, just as much as the middle-class has been suffering which imo best prospers under true free-market capitalism.
My 2D view is probably much different than left-right, but globalist-nationalist, more that counts to me, and I hates globalism. I mean great, people have their own ideas of it, but it still is what it is by practice regardless of the deceptive wording. Some people are willing to go with just what works, others their ideas of some utopian existence they were sold as just out of reach. And it seems the more they reach for utopia, the more they are handed dystopia. And confident in that if they reach for even more they eventually will get it, but it's just more about following the pied-piper and a total leftist-totalitarian existence.
Heck, I can hardly even call myself a conservative any longer because there is hardly anything left to conserve. I've become more the revolutionary I suppose, like from the 230 years ago perspective. You all live under the graces of the king and deal with his tyranny each and every day. And the king is mad in his new clothes, and the people are mad thinking he actually has clothing on.
