[ExI] chinese fires, was:RE: book review

[Will Steinberg]

Spike I think something you might need to hear is that listening to you is
basically identical, for me, to listening to some normie who watches CNN
and follows all the trends from *that* mainstream.  Yeah you make some good
points, albeit often covered in a lotta bs, but so do they.  And both of
yalls for the most part don't really make nuanced arguments at all, just
teleological ones based on dislike of the other side.  There's something
true deep down in there but it is obfuscated by hypocritical nonarguments,
just like the side you don't like.

Turn off the Fox news, man.  It's just as bad as CNN.

Sorry to be harsh, I don't like to be but honestly it does annoy me and as
someone who understands the benefit of both conservative/traditionalist as
well as liberal/progressive ideas (I lean libertarian, as I think most of
us here do,) I think the way you speak does a disservice to the greater
understanding of the positive aspects of rightism, just like the acab
neopronoun twitterites do a disservice to the analogous aspects of
leftism.   And for what it's worth neither side seems to really be much of
what they say.  The lefties are talking about the importance of autonomy
and individual choice while the righties are banning books and licking the
boots of armed government thugs (saw a house the other day with a blue
lives flag AND a gadsden flag, howboutdat?).  Truly a topsy-turvy, clownian
world we live in.
