Fezzy has always occupied a bit of uncertain space in my mind. He doesn't quite neatly fall into any typical categorization. However, to the extent that I have an impression of him, I feel that his most defining characteristic is a social libertarian streak, a "mind your own business" attitude on things like marijauna, abortion, gay rights, etc., plus an atheist streak that tracks pretty well with the generic internet attitude toward these issues, though certainly with more tact (when he wants, anyway). I feel like he'd fit in with Reddit pretty well. Economically, he seems to be a relatively standard moderate-to-mainline American liberal, but his posts on such matters don't really stand out to me.

Foucaulf seems to have somewhat of a economic/quantitative focus that defies and avoids contemporary ideologies when possible, but nevertheless maintains a distinct leftward bend, focusing his affections more toward labor than social modernity projects. He is usually more concerned with international affairs, the mechanics of arguments, and empirics than with our typical petty squables. He displays a technoskeptic side, and calls himself 'far-left' and a 'socialist' while occasionally dabbling in Marxian descriptors. He rarely talks about social issues, but he does lash out at certain figures on the right from time-to-time. He also hates Thomas Friedman and David Brooks.

That's about the best I could do. Foucaulf doesn't exactly give a lot to go off of. Tongue
