[quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous]I thought you wanted to go to Hampden-Sydney and become a lawyer and politician. Out of curiosity, what changed your mind?[/quote]
Well I had Idealized Hampden-Sydney as this "Southern gentlemen's" school. After doing some research and speaking to friends who know people there, I discovered that HSC is ful of kids who party, drink/get drunk, and don't care about learning. I wouldn't fit in at a place like that. I love prepdom, but I'd call myself a preppy scholar. I'm a quiet scholarly type who enjoys reading classical literature, studying political philosophy and theology, and listening to classical music. As far as politics is concerned, I'm no longer interested in ever running for any public office. This is for two reasons. First of all,  over the last few months (while closely observing the election) I became much more of a realist about our political system. Donald Trump is WAY WAY WAY to the Left of me, and he's treated like a monster. Imagine what the media and the public would do to me: a fairly intellectual guy on the Far-Right. I'd have ZERO chance of winning anything. The other reason I'm no longer interested in political office is because I've totally rejected democracy as a competent form of government.  I agree with H.L Mencken's view that democracy is a system in which inferior men dominate their superiors. I am now a Monarchist ideologically. I'd support a return to the old order. My ideal form of government would be a Protestant monarchy with strict social classes: aristocracy, clergy, warrior/military, merchants/white collar workers, and serfs/blue collar workers. [b]I also support a return to traditional gender roles.([u]I hate all forms of Feminism[/u])[/b] I firmly believe that "equality" is a pipe dream. No one is ever equal. Hierarchy is a natural part of society. Seeing as I'm radically anti-democratic, I'd be a massive hypocrite if I ever ran for anything. I don't want to waste my life pandering to the masses. I'd be very content with a quiet life of scholarship. [/quote]

How do you reconcile this with being a self-professed Christian? Jesus was a feminist.  What about his teachings do you believe supports strict sex-based role assignment?[/quote]
