Do you have an "authentic" sixth sense???

[Uncle Gizmo]

I look for this "Authenticity" in the people creating posts, videos and blogs.

Once I discover such people, I follow them. I thought I found more authenticity in republicans than democrats.

But then I thought, no there's something wrong with that thought, Trump used to be democrat, Elon Musk used to be democrat. I'm not sure but I think Candace Owen used to be a democrat as well.

I realised there's nothing wrong with democrats, there's something wrong with just some of them though! And there are some republicans that could be painted with the same brush.

Personally, I find it difficult to place myself in the political spectrum I feel I am conservative, that's British for republican because of my family background. However I am opposed to the class system injustice, which puts me in the Labour camp, British for liberal.

I feel sort of halfway between, and sometimes I think I am a fence sitter ...

Many labels misrepresent you because they can be a generalisation. Take myself for example. I am a Conservative, but was with the liberals on the Covid lockdowns. If you sign up for a particular ideology, it doesn't mean you have to agree with all of it, else you end up imprisoned by your own mind. This is discussed in the following excellent book:

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: a Handbook for Personal Liberty

https://www.amazon.com/How-Found-Freedom-Unfree-World/dp/B089M42YWG

The Table of Contents gives a good idea of the topics covered and the thinking traps you can fall into.

I've not watched the video but it gives a book summary and so I've included it for convenience.
