Generally, half the time we get visiting leftwingers accusing us of being rightwing reactionaries, and the other half of the time we get visiting rightwingers accusing us of being leftwing sheep.

The first one surprises me because hardly anyone on LW seems conservative (and the polls confirm this).

I'm hereby making a prediction with 75% certainty that you consider yourself a left winger. Am I right?

I'm definitely a non-libertarian, so that may be it.

Libertarians count as right-wing by most left-wing standards, even far right. And then we've got a small but vocal faction of neoreactionary/Moldbugger types, who don't fit cleanly into any modern political typologies but who tend to look extra-super right-wing++ through leftist eyes.
