@kobi_lacroix I have started falling back on a nice simple "This is why we can't have nice things" in response to bad political memes on Reddit. Just a faint reminder that there is something less than optimal about all this intellectual comfort food. >_<

@kobi_lacroix EXACTLY. That's exactly the problem I keep running into, even when I preface my comments with stuff like "OK, guys, I lean a little to the left of Howard Zinn, but..."

@kobi_lacroix We FINALLY have internet at home so I am a lot more likely to show up on Telegram in the coming week!

@kobi_lacroix It's like, we're supposed to be the good guys here. If we want the badge of intellectual superiority, we DON'T earn it just by being on the 'right' side and never questioning yourself. That's how 'They' think, isn't it-- that's what other leftists keep telling me. So shouldn't we at least be *attempting* to do better?

But apparently not,. *shrug* Barring some major new innovation in memetic hygiene in the next 20 years (which I do think is not unlikely)... we're so fucked. >_<
