I think it's fairly normal to agree with a least bits and pieces of wildly different ideologies/political pieces. You're only a brainlet if you just flip flop randomly or can't manage to synthesize those disparate thoughts into an overarching belief structure.

I agree with both communists and fascists while disagreeing with liberals and conservatives. In other words, I'm an alpha male.

About this. I have the same experience, I disagree with most everything I read. I don't think I'm too smart or whatever, but it makes reading tedious and frustrating. Is there a mindset or thought I could adopt to lessen that effect?
