    Mate I’m not gonna comment on anything else you’ve said, but it’s very funny to see you immediately whine about an “ad hominem” given your other very personal insults and aggressive tone in other comments in this larger thread lol, it’s like… Grow a pair and insult people, or whinge about being insulted. Don’t do both 😂

      personal insults

      Oh, yes. Because criticizing someone’s lack of real-world experience - with context - is so very much like trying to shame a person into silence by attacking their character instead of their argument.

      Like, apples and oranges are the same species, no?

      Nuance, due. It exists. It’s a real thing.

          Man you are wound up so tight

          And too much of this world is painted with the same fucking brush, when that’s the worst possible thing that can be done.

          Too many people taking too many cognitive shortcuts, refusing to dig deeper or acknowledge details and differences or even accept facts and evidence over their pet ideologies because it’s too hard for their pablum-fed goldfish brains to handle.

          So I push back. Sometimes a slap in the face wakes people up when nothing else does.
