  15.  @brentjamesonparker  Let me explain something to you. People that go around like you making "labeling" arguments, that never come up with any kind of logical explanation to support the label "accusation" are just about as illogical as it gets. It almost doesn't even matter what you think "straw man" means. It's pretty obvious that you don't know what "straw man fallacy" means. A straw man, logically, is a trope or a model (analytical paradigm) or whatever. You seem to think that with your silly 5 word accusation that you've said something meaningful. What you've telegraphed is that you have no hope of following the conversations without first looking at your own "uncertainty theories" - or more bluntly - your own areas of ignorance. You don't even realize that by your own behavior you're providing an example of many of the problems I've complained about right here. You're triggered by your cult to defend perceived "community interests" (that's a rough translation from Gramsci's Prison Notebooks). That's the only thing anyone can conclude by your contribution here. Another way of putting it is that you're "virtue signaling" to likeminded people. If you want to cry out illogically "straw man something something" over and over again, carry on. That's what you and your cult like to do when you're not carrying bad "social justice" signage to the riots and throwing Molotov cocktails. Identifying you as affected by a cult is not a fallacious "straw man" argument. I'm pointing out the implications of your inane rhetoric. You're perfectly free to show contradictory evidence but choose not to. How about that.

  19.  Really Doe  Moron, I doubt that you can read or reason properly but for the sake of those that can, I already wrote that FDR fits more than any other US President based on historical facts. I'm not the one with a fetish of arguing by labeling. The New Deal and his treatment of Congress, SCOTUS, and his willingness to run for 4 terms, unlike any other US President in history, demonstrates that FDR saw himself as a kind of unique political messiah that was totally closed minded about any opposition to his "New Deal" socialism and approach to foreign policy. You morons have no idea what he was about. Apparently you don't even know what "autocrat" actually means. Did you study any history at all? Do you not ever consider the relevant facts pertaining to your kooky rants? Did it ever occur to you that FDR's relationship with Stalin was more valued than his relationship with the British because FDR was a crazed neo-Marxist Progressive that thought the Communists and their command economy ideas (as in New Deal) were the way of the future for all of the world? Serious scholars that are not afraid to look at history from an unbiased frame can see that FDR had the same beliefs as the Marxists other than his own Christian beliefs and that the USA was regarded as "exceptional" in that it would not need to go through a bloody revolution to achieve the Marxist prophecies for "progress" and so forth. When neo-Marxists denounce "Communism" they're only denouncing their rivals and/or the need for revolution. If you believe in Marx's historical materialism and "progress" you also believe in Communism. You just don't know what he labels mean. As far as Trump as "autocrat" this is literally propagated by neo-Marxist academic lunatics that "make the case" by using "signaling" and "stereo typing" profiling techniques. At best these critiques belong in a conversation about perceptions and leadership styles and how propagation by enemies can spin. But soon you see that they are the ones that regard themselves as "victims" and therefore "enemies" of an elected President. Not just that they're triggered by his speech but that they can't recognize their own childish reactions. As if they really think they can connect him with "autocrats." They obviously don't even understand the meaning behind his rhetoric. What it shows is that the academic class of paid pontificators can make careers out of teaching "criticism" to students and nobody will really see just what a crazed cult they've created over time. John Bolton's fear of Trump is based on his view of "democracy." He's a very good attorney. He's done a good job playing his assigned roles in the past. Kooks don't understand how that works. With Trump, Bolton didn't actually disagree with Trump's policies. He was triggered by his manners that Bolton instinctively profiled like a Progressive kook. Because although he's not a doctrinaire Progressive, he spends so much time with them that some of the Progressive cultural "community sense" has affected his thinking. He fears Trump because he's afraid that, generally speaking, Progressives are right about "the demos" that they regard as idiots. That they are "triggered" and that "capitalists" like Trump only care about profit. It doesn't mean Bolton is afraid of these policy changes. Bolton knows that Communists are far more dangerous. What's amazing to me is that Bolton thinks Trump is in another class from, say, the Bush family. And he is but only in a very superficial sense. The Bush family has raised their children as "conservative Progressives" in that they believe in the Progressive worldview but play a kind of Randian Libertarian role as "conservers of patriotism and stuff" in the US. Progressives think that you're an idiot. Unlike me, they don't blame their own academic doctrines and "public education" establishment. They blame Darwinism. They don't expect students to be able to catch up once they fall behind (or worse, when they show up as "low IQ" from the start). They expect a wide diversity in results from K-12 and try to create "egalitarian learning" so that the students don't notice this wide disparity (that they are partially responsible for). Apparently you've never read and contemplated Orwell's Animal Farm.

  21.  Really Doe  "You're calling people idiots just because they recognize just how deep and far your head is inserted up your rectum." LOL. That's called "question begging fallacy." Look it up. If I offer sound insight that can be used to improve the conversation and even improve the thinking of "adversaries" then that is synergistic discourse. You don't recognize it because he totally lack any confidence in learning anything at all. You have no confidence in your own declarations. If you had any confidence at all in your rants the only effect "name calling" would have on you would be you'd slow down to explain yourself better. You don't think that you can improve at all so you panic and follow all of the other indoctrinated kooks and their hiveminds. You were led to believe that certain types of people can always sort of outperform and that you can't learn from them. You must cling to "social justice" tactics and throw out inane smears in "solidarity" with the other Victicrat kooks. My rhetorical "abuse" actually shows my confidence in your ability to do better. In virtually everyone's ability to learn from conversations of all kinds. Academic trigger theory is abject bullshit. That's what's making you feel this way. None of you put any serious thought in to questioning your own biases. Because you're afraid to. Your minds were closed by your experiences at school. Read the Dunning Kruger studies. These are "psychologists" doing "studies" to show "disparity" in a non-offensive way but based on 2 assumptions: The biggest factor in human disparity is caused by material disparity, including inheritance (DNA and so forth) and that the public school academic doctrines that they went through can't be at fault either.

  22.  Really Doe  "With your Fox News talking points, their signature terminology and repetitive insane rambling of a cult member. " Are you capable at all of running "quality assurance" on your own rants and the actually implications? Fox News signature terminology? LOL. Insane ramblings from me. In theory, sure. The problem that you have is that you can't actually support your claims with any kind of evidence at all. You actually allude only to the Jacobin-Marxist-Progressive cult's form of idiotic theories. Including the theory that you're not able to put together a coherent rebuttal because you're "oppressed" by "capitalism" and "trigger speech" that is part of the "evolution" of the "oppressor" class. You're triggered to throw out these inane and totally ineffective accusations in part because they represent fears about yourself and your own thinking. Your own inadequacies and your fear that you can't grow beyond. That's also why you're to triggered by "Fox News" and Trump. You're triggered by "intersectionalism" or as I call it, Always Blame Capitalism even if you don't know theories. You're afraid that you can't compete and you're afraid that you need a certain political party to defend everything that you depend on materially and psychologically. It's sad. I, on the other hand, am not an "oppressor." My "harsh" (compared to what you're used to in our schools) rhetoric could have a positive effect on you if you'd overcome your fears and cultivated "Resistance" responses. But that's on you and it doesn't matter if you start now or at any time in the future. These are your choices that all individuals must make as the opportunities arise. You have not done much to leverage opportunities granted to you. Maybe give that some thought.
