moderate-to-neoconservative (hackers too were affected by the collapse of
socialism). There is a strong libertarian contingent which rejects
conventional left-right politics entirely. The only safe generalization is
that hackers tend to be rather anti-authoritarian; thus, both
paleoconservatism and hard leftism are rare. Hackers are far
more likely than most non-hackers to either (a) be aggressively apolitical or
(b) entertain peculiar or idiosyncratic political ideas and actually try to
live by them day-to-day.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="food.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="appendixb.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="demographics.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Food </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Gender and Ethnicity</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
