Does anyone else lurk at the Free Republic forums? I know they’re poorly designed (we’re very lucky to have Gilby), pedantic, and strangely fascistic with their “In Before The Zot”, IBTZ, ideological call outs (Permanent IP bannings), but it’s a lot of fun to see how the other half lives-- in elaborate paranoid self-delusions. As a cultural reference, the group psychology here is fascinating and it lends specific insights into how competing areas of conservative theory are reconciled with each other.
it’s as nauseating as the democratic underground…extremists on either side are sad.
But are they really radicals or just bourgeois liberals?
