Blah blah blah. No its Ive been at this for multiple decades. Unlike most, I've been paying attention. Since the late 80s. The right's boogeymen concern me as much as the left's boogeymen. I told you what concerns me already. So, you can keep talking about things that have nothing to do with Bud Light ad campaigns, but Im bored with this. You are just regurgitating right wing talking points, which are as valid as left wing talking points.

And youre regurgitating libertarian talking points. You accuse me of not having independent thoughts because I align and/or agree with some people while doing the exact same thing. Congratulations buddy… unless you are going to totally and entirely unhinge from reality, then ANY ideas will come from somewhere and be more or less similar to something someone else has already thought. That doesn’t make them wrong. I can say you sound like Steven Pinker…does that suddenly mean you don’t know what you’re talking about?

No, you use that tactic to not engage with the argument.

I gave zero talking points of anything and Im not a libertarian.

“None of this matters, both sides are just as bad, culture doesn’t matter, I don’t care because I have my own food”, etc… just because you don’t see them as talking points doesn’t mean they aren’t repeated over and over by certain circles for the same reasons. If you lack the self awareness to notice that you are regurgitating points that have been said before, then that’s another issue. But I have seen these all too. The difference is that I’m acknowledging that we are both using arguments other people came up with first because there is “nothing new under the Sun” to some extent and not using that as some ad-hominem attack against you… as if naming the philosophers/commentators each line you say originally came from is some sort of “own”. Because it’s not.
