      Yeah, it’s almost like I don’t want to lend any credence to terrorists/terrorist orgs.

          If your water stops working in your bathroom, but you still have water pressure in other parts of the house. Without looking in the pipes, is it wrong to say that there is a clog?

          Even though you never looked?

          I never claimed to know what’s in Hale’s manifesto if there actually is one, and I don’t need to because I know what leads to a metaphorical clog, and CRT ain’t it.

            The only way to know if water stopped working in your bathroom is to observe it you have to look. Further bathrooms have shutoffs, it’s far more likely the shutoff was enabled. Water pipes getting clogged in a specific area is very uncommon so it would be wrong to think your pipes are clogged. It looks like you know as much about plumbing as the manifesto.

              It’s a metaphor. If you can’t even try to understand what I’m saying then I don’t know what to tell you.

                It’s a terrible metaphor. Claiming knowledge about something without ever seeing it is impossible.

                  Humans can’t see X rays. Yet we claim immense knowledge of them.

        You’ve said over and over that you want to better understand conservatives, then you say stuff like this. You also whine that you can’t just defeat the point of the sub by posting lefty shit.

        Do you honestly want to understand, or is that just an excuse?

          No I haven’t. I understand conservatism plenty. It’s all about fighting literally anything that would make the world better, more empathetic, more prosperous, more fair, and actively pushing for regression and death of humanity.

          I’m not here to understand conservatism better. I’m here to stay in the loop, keep my debate skills in check, a bit of entertainment, and on the off chance a fence sitter is passing by, hopefully enough context for them to see through conservative bullshit.
