When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
Would it surprise you if I said I had?
I'm fairly certain I've referenced that I have some very far-left friends, musician/artist/hippy types, when I was in my late teens I stayed with some of them, quasi-couch surfing.
And even then, some of their fundamental assertions didn't add up

I stayed on one near Otaki in the mid 70's. I was still in the Army ... but on leave. Few there knew that though. I had friends living there and I had a few skills they needed ...and inclination to work and knowledge of how to do it that a few lacked. And in return for food .. I worked.
I was there two weeks. There was a continual procession of residents to where I was working ... telling me how to do it better. Each telling me how THEY had more authority to decide how things should be done than I did. They got quite pissed off when I told them to piss off. I built an irrigation system for their "Gardens" with the bit's and pieces they had.
I concentrated irrigating plants that you could (eventually) eat ... not SMOKE. That pissed off a few too.
Their evening meetings to discuss the next day/week plans ... as to what needs done (and who will do it) ... had as much merit listening to ... as Play center group infants discussing politics would be. It seemed everybody had the notion that seniority depended on how long you'd been there. But (apparently) ... they were ALL equal. As per "Animal Farm" ... some were just MORE equal than others. And thus deserved more "rights" than others.
Two weeks was what I agreed to ... and there it ended. My job was easy ... being there was the hard work.
