WorldsStrongestNerd posted:Basically op, some people are just stupid. They may think they aren't because they are educated in a discipline or have run a business, but some of those people have just mastered one aspect of intelligence and may lack general intelligence. What a brilliant and smart thesis E: in what way are they stupid? Series DD Funding fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Jul 2, 2015 |

Supporting policies where you get more power isn't "stupid." In fact d&d posters regularly love talking about how "stupid" voters are for allegedly doing the opposite

WorldsStrongestNerd posted:Jesus dude it's in my post. The inability to think critically or form thier own ideas. They as a group obviously have formed their own ideas, since it's distinctly different from what's arrived before. But in general, that's a useless response because to the extent it's a stupidity, it's a universal human one. I know you mentioned it extends to "some liberals" as well, but a political group by definition must involve lots of people copying ideas. It's why they're a group instead of random individual thinkers. You can see it in action all the time. Ideas are created by a small group of liberals/progressives/conservatives/whoever, and it becomes a meme among that group.

Chocolate Teapot posted:What do you mean by "formed their own ideas"? As in, not cribbed from some existing philosophies like libertarianism or whatever? I mean the group is distinct from what came before it. Obviously there's parallels with paleonazis and modern libertarianism, but there's differences as well (for example, being explicitly religious).

Crain posted:They're literally just saying "remember monarchies and church rule? Let's do that again. Also the matrix." And modern liberalism is just "let's do the new deal again," right? Monarchies and papal states didn't have to contend with atheism and feminism in their modern forms, or really modern democracy at all.

rudatron posted:And? Hitler never had to deal with Genghis Khan, is there a point to these historical counterfactuals, or are you just pulling your usual contrarian gimmick with appeals to a d&d hivemind? The point is DE is, in fact, original thinking, or rather as close as you can get. It's applying and changing old ideas from different sources to new issues and situations.
