So how does that gel with your political opinions?
For example; Isn't the term "liberals" generalizing a complex vast
amount of opinions?
Don't the media like to setup these opposing generalized positions in
order to stir up interest and therefore profit from us by exploiting
our emotions invested in our illusionary stories of the situations?
It would seem to be more zombie like to be categorizing ourselves into
things.
I'd imagine it's less zombie like and there's less hubris in the act
of not affiliating ourselves with commercialization of these sweeping
political generalizations. That would seem to be primitive.
