    Reminiscent of the self referential in r/TheDonald where they thought they would ‘own’ liberals…

    Same people kids, different flag.

        Go harder. If we keep projecting the graph to lower dimensions until there’s just a point then you don’t have to waste a bullet on me anymore. Honestly we could simplify a lot of things this way. If you simplify enough you only need one of anything and you have everything. Bam. Post scarcity society and all of a sudden you don’t have to shoot me again.

        When do I get to join Special Circumstances?

        Edit: I’m confused about if you guys are in support of the massive oversimplification of the horseshoe bullshit or are getting a head start.

            And I was agreeing with them that it’s bullshit.

            And teasing you guys for wanting to kill me.

              teasing you guys for wanting to kill me.

              That's SS propaganda

              Sorry, just watched Valkyrie. In seriousness, though, we don’t want to kill you, although we’d hope you read what we really want. Even the anticommunists admit we’re not hiding it.

                I know you don’t. I’m teasing you guys. You’ve got consistent ethics and an objective analysis so I don’t feel off kilter fucking with you. Just let me burn some government buildings during the revolution and we’ll be good.

            It’s all good. When people cite horseshoe theory they’re taking a point in n-dimensional space and projecting it down to 1 dimension then manipulating it in two dimensions to claim they’re the same view. If we use the standard auth/libertarian 2d one, they took auth left and right to call you nazis. It’s braindead. Yeah. They’re both auth. That’s how fucking graphs work. Having to project it down to lower dimensions is just stunningly stupid.

            I’m a voluntarist, but I share a lot of values and ethics with you guys so when some fuck whose political philosophy is probably just anything Trump doesn’t like comes in and pulls that shit I get a little frisky.

              This is not a place where using big words to sound smart wins you acclaim. Nowhere is. You’ll do much better with other people if you can explain your point of view sincerely, instead of just trying to sound as big brained as possible when you communicate with people. You might think this makes you intelligent, but emotional intelligence is the true core of the intelligent individual. Learn to communicate ideas, learn to understand other’s ideas. If you’re the smartest person in the room, find a better room. If you think you are the smartest person in the room in every room, you’re not, you’re just an insecure idiot pretending to be smart. Real intelligence comes not from showing off the things you know, but from being eager to learn new things.

                None of those are big words or difficult concepts. The first comment was entirely casual. They asked me to explain. I don’t think I necessarily even used the right terms, but I used the words I’m familiar with. I was legitimately trying to explain why I hate horseshoe people. You’ve got one thing right, though, all of my social ‘skills’ are learned via trial and error. They don’t make pills for that.

                  Fair enough, I was probably a bit too harsh there. This instance often gets trolls of the “smug debatebro” variety, who use big words they barely understand in an attempt to sound smart, but just make themselves look like idiots when they get things wrong.

                    It’s all good. My vocabulary is from being involved in measuring/inspecting parts for almost two decades as well as modeling and some light scripting/programming. I’m sure someone with actual math education could make it sound less silly.

                    Have a good one, tho.

          The USSR defeated 70% of the german divisions in WW2, and paid the greatest cost in blood and suffering. They literally saved the world from Nazism.

          The tides of the war were turned a full year and a half at Stalingrad, after which the US decided to get in the game to prevent a red europe.

      Wow, idk where to start. So first off, did you not read the meme? I assume you’re a lib who refuses to read theory. Secondly, just because Conservatives and socialists don’t like Liberals, doesn’t mean we’re the same. If you actually had read theory you would understand the basic fact that Conservatism IS Liberalism. From our perspective, conservatives will NEVER dunk on libs because they themselves are a type of liberal.

            They are kinda bad at the naval gazing too:

            Plus all the times when 7th fleet ships crashed into civilian vessels and ran aground in last few years.
