Om meg I'm a social democrat (in the European tradition) living in a nation of economic liberals, reactionary populists, traditional conservatives, docile nationalists, imperialistic Straussians, amoral hedonists, apathetic "gamers" and the obligatory handful of right- and left-leaning anti-statists... Consequently, my free hours are typically dedicated to histories, political theory, literature, a thorough review of national and international news or a heated political debate regarding any number of the pressing issues of our time.
