I barely ever use Reddit, but I ended up there, saw I had a message, and it was notifying me I was permanently banned from the r/Classical_Liberals reddit, which I vaguely remember reading once, and it was kind of moderate libertarianism. But it looks to now have been taken over by the far-right?

This is why my New Year's resolution is to try my damndest to post on Bluesky less and post on my @leaflet.pub blog more. That's a whole lot of words and they'd be better spent on blog posts and essays. (I saw knowing full well the how challenging gumption can be.) www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

The "as well as" here is confusing me? Doesn't being a frontrunner mean the same thing as being a top contender?

My advice when engaging intellectually with politics is that if you're going to have a strong opinion about a particular ideology, or a whole constellation of them, you put in the work to make it at least a minimally informed one.
