Michael is no longer a "new" librarian, having worked in the GLAMR sector (mostly libraries) for about a ten years (over the years). For even longer, Michael has been thinking about, and sometimes writing about, politics, philosophy, political philosophy, and related. Michael has strong opinions about a lot of stuff, which you might have guessed. This talk does not, as far as I am aware, represent the views of anyone else at my place of employment.
