    You are one of those people that get avoided at parties, aren’t you?

    The irony here is that people who say stuff like this are the most insufferable ones at parties. The type of guy who smugly butts into a conversation with some unoriginal insult and doesn’t elaborate.

    I love talking to people capable of a nuanced conversation whether I agree with them or not. They read the article, formed an opinion, and expressed their issue in an understandable way. What’s not to like?

      What’s not to like?

      The fact of not having a particularly coherent argument and yet being irreversibly convinced of it’s correctness.

      I love talking to people capable of a nuanced conversation whether I agree with them or not too. This person is not appear to be capable.

      Go ahead, read their comments again. For all the fluffy verbiage there is virtually no substance and on top of that? I don’t think they know what they are trying to say and so use the shotgun approach to rhetoric in which you could probably interpret it however you want to. And if you can do that then you are left with nothing.

      “I’m actually blaming the set of mechanism and presumptions…” but no no no it’s the people. But everyone but no actually a “relatively small number of people” but no actually it’s all of us because we let them have it through the institutionalization of authority but no it’s not the system.

      This sort of hand waving is fun if you are sufficiently inebriated at a dinner party and that’s about it. But hey, if that’s your thing…
