    Progressive left’s worldview can be roughly summarized as “America bad, capitalism bad”. It’s barely any more nuanced than the GOP electorate, whose entire philosophy seems to be “Trump good, own the libs”.

    Heh, my ideology is so much more complex. See, I believe socialism bad, white capitalist countries good.

      Painful amounts of projection.

      Neoliberals have zero nuance. If something is designated as an enemy by the state department, everything it does in every situation is bad, and everything negative someone says about it must be true. But it’s the people who think it’s more complicated who just don’t see nuance.

      blob-no-thoughts: “My house is on fire! What should we do?!”

      Commie: “Spray water on it!”

      Fascist: “Spray gasoline on it!”

      blob-no-thoughts: “Their plans are both equally simple. Clearly they both are wrong!”

        Neoliberals will note that, in the event of a grease fire, spraying water is actually bad. And they will use this as a point of evidence in their “Why we should defund the fire department” master’s thesis.

      Sort of the joke of neoliberalism. If you put out a 20,000 page white paper with the title “Socialism Bad, White Country Good” then you are correct, right up until someone issues a 21,000 page white paper that reads “DEBUNKED: Why White Country Sometimes Bad, but Socialism Even Worse Than Originally Thought”.

      Not surprising how many of these chucklefucks think AI is going to be a game-changer. After all, with a ChatBot I can produce white papers of infinite length! Try and refute that, stupid leftists. You can’t!

      Geocentrism is more complex than heliocentrism (at least in terms of things like orbital mechanics), and yet…

      It’s like these people have never heard of Occam’s Razor
