My political beliefs, if you can call them that, are inconsistent and contradictory. They are more like political moods or isolated self-contained thoughts. Some of these thoughts are more consolidated and form archipelagos of chained implication, whereas others float loosely without any integration whatsoever.

This ideological amorphousness probably explains why I am so sympathetic to Stirnerian egoism. Ideology is made to serve me not the other way around. It ought to fit to my whims and moods and preferences. I should not have to break in my psyche to conform it to a prefabricated ideology. Doing so would be like the grotesque and antiquated Chinese practice of foot binding in which a woman's feet were broken at a young age to fit the shape of "lotus shoe" footwear that signified high social status. If I contradict myself, so much the worse for logic. Politics is the domain of the irrational and unprovable anyway.
