Hm, this is what Nazis and Communists both said about my countrymen. The idea that fearing change is anti-intellectual... hmm... anti-abortion laws are changes too, introducing mass surveillance is also a change. Not every change is as good as you imply.
Change as a concept, not any individual change.
You're really going to have to work with me to not read every comment in the most uncharitable way possible. Nothing about that first comment was "defeatist", that's a battle in your mind only.
If you don't believe in the power to build, then you believe in regression de facto. You don't get points for being pro gay marriage if you're also anti-immigration.
So all or nothing? No nuance, no difference. Either you get all you want or you get nothing?
I know I'm dealing with a conservative because this stupid, barely-listening strawman shit is their favorite thing to do.
Honestly I liked your responses and nitpicked to hear more of it, but now I see how mistaken I was.
To think I wasted so much time talking to particularly dumb bot.
Hrabia, you were implying I was a Nazi. I can only assume because my anti-conservative shtick touched a nerve.
I want to be clear, I wasn't picking on you to begin with. I was only explaining something about human nature that I think is interesting and important.
