@jonfavs There is a problem though with liberals having such trouble saying they just disagree with anti-liberals, ie the critical theory left. You can’t be liberal & anti-liberal at the same time. Liberals who keep trying keep reinforcing the impression that liberals stand for nothing.

Traditional explanations of the Iran crisis don't come close to capturing its complex interplay of ideological extremism, corruption, incompetence, and sheer chaos. I spoke with @NDTV.

@DavidVi67181732 Just repeating opinions isn't useful, whether you do it or I do it. But a debate based on testable evidence and valid logic can lead to progress. It's also impossible to lose: If I'm wrong, I learn something.

[Spencer Critchley @scritchley]

@DavidVi67181732 Again, solid evidence from credible sources is something I can engage with. But just making assertions without that won't lead us anywhere.

[Spencer Critchley @scritchley]

@DavidVi67181732 @fox I agree that the Iranian regime is evil. But it's possible for that to be true and for everything we know about Trump to be true as well. If you can point out where I'm wrong about him based on solid evidence from credible sources, I'd be glad to hear it.

@TheAliceSmith @elonmusk This is an obvious category error typical of your thinking on this topic. There’s no shortage of open pride in the various cultures of people with white skin, like the English, Scots, Irish, Swedes, etc, etc. No one thinks skin color itself is a culture, apart from racists.

[Spencer Critchley @scritchley]

@elonmusk So I guess there’s no room for your Afrikaner racism via half-baked Nietzscheanism.

But more importantly, please describe American culture with the influence of, say, black people and Jews subtracted.

Even country music wouldn’t exist.

Trump today, yet again: “I’m a smart person.”

You know who never says “I’m a smart person?” Actual smart people.

Also Trump today: “I’m not a dictator.”
