Question/doubting your identity is equivalent to "No true Scotsman"? Insecure much?
Nope, I just have a cold and not interested in putting up with the stupid "you don't think like me so you're not left-wing, hurrr" arguments this week.
Your link says it's have multiple issues regarding the article itself.
Dude, you quote some random reddit user as an authoritative source. You gave up the right to ever criticize anyone else's sources for a long time coming.
Do YOU even read the stuff that you posted? It makes no specific mention of "authorization left" AT ALL. Mind you that turmps and his cronies is also part of "The establishment", yet it never seemed to bother you.
What does "authoritarian left" have to do with anything? You were arguing that the establishment refers solely to the government, and I gave a link to show that no, it has a broader meaning as well.
As for turnips or whoever not bothering me, what are you talking about?
Do you even keep track of what you're posting?
You said "And I was referring to society." in clarification to the "authoritarian left" comment you made earlier.
Yes, do you keep track of what you type? I clarified I was using it in the broader, society-level sense. You then interpreted it like I was posting some DeviantArt level emo-goth nonsense. Is it so difficult to understand that I was referring to a broader context than you were using? Or was that just lame bait on your part?
Mockery is not an argument.
I agree.
No, I said "There is a reason why "reality have a liberal bias" meme is created, because the right have a keen habit of denying reality". Which you reply to me with a whataboutism fallacy.
No, I didn't. I responded to your implicit bias by pointing out that the left has its own share of problems with reality, and that repeating stale memes as an argument is utterly foolish.
That is complete projection on your part.
Really? Because you're the one who started out whinging that I wasn't being harsh enough to the right, so if I wanted to prove my credentials, I needed pick on those reality denying righties (cause at least leftists aren't like that!), and posting an old meme as if it were an argument. I responded by pointing out examples where progressives have been attempting to undermine the concept of science and truth as a whole these past few years. Your reaction was to start declaring me a right-wing sympathizer who needed to atone.
Yet you get so unreasonable defensive when I or other people make criticisms regarding the right. The only logical explanation that I can think of is that you consider yourself to be part of it, hence when they are criticized you unconsciously considered it to be an attacked on you. Which let me tell you something: this isn't about you.
I'm not defending the right here, I'm defending myself. I have progressives always on my butt about how I'm not a true liberal because liberal = progressive, and to be a classic liberal means I'm right-wing. Meanwhile, this is somehow not yet another purity test for me despite it starting out with you claiming that I am not critical enough of the right to be in the Left-wingers club.
So, let me ask you, what
is this about then? The right-wing? You're the one who brought them up. I just point out progressives behaving exactly like they how they used to condemn Republicans for acting under Obama, and saying that they'd "never be so disrespectful, tut-tut-tut!" Meanwhile, many of these same people constantly dog-piled me and called me a racist for disrespectfully calling Obama "Barry" and claiming I'd never be so disrespectful to a white guy, despite the fact that I regularly referred to George W Bush as "A'dou" which is the nickname/childhood name of
Liu Shan. Now I know that article says it has multiple issues, and it isn't a reddit board, but keep calm and read the first sentence of the second paragraph.
As for Mueller, I've stated from the beginning that this was going to be another Clinton, and another Bush. Small fries might get jail time, and maybe Trump gets impeached as censor, but nothing else is going to happen. The people who act like Trump was working directly with Russia, and think they're going to get Trump thrown out of office and/or in jail are just as delusional as the Birthers.
You progressives constantly crap on the 'left' side of the political fence by pushing for things like hate speech laws, deplatforming, and thought policing. Why wouldn't I call you guys out for that?
