@Phorm I'm not sure how that last even follows from the first.
re: Confusion, pol-related (-~¿)
Well, it's like this: The term is being used so much and so often that maybe my usage of it is incorrect. Maybe the people I see who I know others around here would refer to in that way, maybe they aren't ACTUALLY accurately described in that manner due to a difference of opinion.
Maybe I'm wrong, because there's so many of these people. They're everywhere - where I work, at the conventions I attend, online in every corner - That should be enough to stop and say "Hey, maybe I'm the problem".

@Phorm ...dipshittery being common doesn't make it not dipshittery. Hell all you need to prove that is the OG examples. Was Himmler not one because he has plenty of minions? :P
re: Confusion, pol-related (-~¿)
@Phorm Doesn't change the example.
re: Confusion, pol-related (-~¿)
@Phorm Your point was "well there's lots of them so they might be right".
The 40s provide an example of lots of them still being wrong.
re: Confusion, pol-related (-~¿)
I'm not sure, though. They seem to be everywhere. All I'm saying it it gives cause for introspection. Maybe this echo chamber has warped me, because I presume it's always right. What if it isn't?
All I'm saying is that I've long since thought they deserve no consideration, but given the way the world is going, I really should.

@Doephin
I don't understand the point, I admit.
