• Precisely my point. My degree in poly sci means nothing, you guys somehow “know” better than me.

    It means nothing, I took poly sci too, its utter garbage.

    And those people who matter are surely taking any of us working class seriously at all

    We are serious, we disguise it in jokes so as to not be the “intellectual” asshole. Its very annoying to be that way.

      And yet the inherent assumption remains; either people agree with you, or they don’t actually understand the concepts you are promulgating, or they are objectively evil and malintentioned.

      I would argue that there is in fact a third alternative wherein people of perfectly good faith fully understand your arguments but still find them wanting or unsatisfactory on well-reasoned and logical grounds.

      It’s your insistence on rejecting this third possibility that I find so objectionable and fallacious.
