Okay great job you dressed up some hateful shit with jingoistic buzzwords. What's your point? We've all heard this before, no one is unaware of the rationalizations that conservatives tell themselves to justify their hatred and selfishness as tough love and societal stewardship.

Okay, now what are the rationalizations that progressives/liberals/Democrats/leftists/whatever the preferred term that's the opposite of 'conservative' tell themselves?

Keep in mind, you're including the entire group here, as you did with 'conservatives', so anything any [preferred leftist term] does means it's representative of the entire group.

Again, what's your point? You think you're being clever but you're just sniping at strawmen with old ammunition.

No logical fallacy buzzwords to falsely throw around? Just a downvote because someone has shared a non-genocidal point of view?

Sad but not surprised.

What's the strawman I'm sniping at?

ETA: yes it's as old as human nature and organized religion, yes, and you're continuing it. Everyone with different beliefs is "the other" and "the enemy" and "must be removed from existence to ensure peace for our people." I'm trying to point out that you're being taken advantage of, and the truth seems to be evoking strong emotions.

If you say down and had an honest conversation without yelling and turns were allowed to be finished, you'd find you have much more in common with these individuals than "the enemy" as the group you see them as.

But ideological warfare prevents class warfare, so it continues being spoonfed to you, and you happily latch on to every bite so you continue to feel a sense of purpose.
