MY POSTS ARE REAL RETARDED, SIR

Ignorance mostly.

Strong political opinions are not a sign of intellectual or critical thought. It generally requires that the opposite train of thought be abandoned completely. Identity politics is a good example of this. If your thoughts about every subject go "as a leftist/rightest I..........." chances are you've actually thought very little about anything.

Or just spewing word salads of a bunch of agreeable yet mutually exclusive things in order to get people to like you makes you a hypocrite/narcissistic.
