Them.

The "'Murica is #1" crowd who are disgusted by even having the conversation about it.

What's adolescent about my post?  Do you deny there are plenty of people who fit that description?

Don't know much about Chomski.  Most people have jobs, and real lives, and little influence on what actually gets done in the world.

I suppose if one is an "activist" with some other means of income that could make sense.


Most people do. But the ones who work on getting things done are the ones who get things done.

I've seen folks who thought they were getting things done in spades.  None of them were in reality.  They were dreamers.  All of them.

I also think if someone claims "A is not the best", it's viable to discuss which of the alternatives are better.  

It's a logical course of discussion, to me anyway.

Probably. Most of us aren't paying attention to who is doing the work, and thus wouldn't see the people doing the work.

I only speak about folks within my direct knowledge.  Nearly all of my "wine group" was hyper liberal and they marched and wrote letters and wore T shirts and whatever else.  None of them made any difference, at all.  It was to me just feel good stuff, virtue signaling, in large part because they made such a public deal of it.

I once asked one of them what she thought she changed by her March for Science (a concept that truly was fascinating to me).  She got mad at me.

The March for Science was a march against Trump.  Whatever.  Have at it if it makes you feel good about yourself.

I'll drink some more wine.

Sure, there are plenty of people who fit that description.  It is a stereotype that is based partly in truth, but do we really want to go down that road?

There are plenty of people out there we could start describing who fit some stereotypes. At what point are we crossing a line?

I was specifying a certain group of people.  That's hard to do without a description.  I don't even really care, it's just reason number 2839482 for certain posters to bitch at me.

You're just poking a stick into an anthill to see the ants react.  Knowing how they'll react.
You can do better.

Actually, I try to use a mirror, but they never see their reflection.
