Yes, all of this is very true - I was talking more about having the courage of your convictions on issues where there is no objective truth. I'm not a huge fan of post structuralism and deciding that truth can be whatever you decide it can be.
But I've got more time for people who at least have the balls to nail their colours to the mast when it comes to their ideology. Say what you think and say it with conviction then get ready for the blowback from people like you and I who will hold them to account.
Give me an amusing Tory who's got some good arguments about the ineffectiveness of socialism than some limp-dick progressive writing half-assed intolerant rhetoric with the comments off.
