I’m Disaffected? Tell Me Something I Didn’t Know!
I wanted to see what my result would be from this political typology mentioned by Kevin Drum. According to my answers, I belong to the “Disaffected” group. This makes a certain amount of sense politically and psychologically, but I think some of the definitions are way off. For instance:
Disaffecteds have little interest in current events and pay little attention to the news. No single medium or network stands out as a main source.
Perhaps this is true of most of my Disaffected brethren, but I am surprised that this is the case. Surely, it is only through a close, detailed acquaintance with the impressive mediocrity and worthlessness of the political class that one can become as Disaffected as we are. In any case, I would rather be Disaffected than Upbeat–how depressing would that be?
