I'm the normal one.

You hate ridden fucks will regret your words when you eventually grow up.

Peace.
I remarked some feedback threads ago that there's interesting and productive discussion to be had amongst posters in a broadly shared Western-mainstream (if liberal) zeitgeist, and interesting and productive discussion to be had amongst posters in a broadly shared radical zeitgeist, but I don't think there's good odds for productive dialogue between the two camps (at least not great enough to justify the added degree of modding effort required)

Some shared assumptions are necessary for a discussion to be a meaningful exchange of ideas.

"Stale arguments" (paging WB Gallie to explain an essentially contested concept) is not a great way to mod these conflicts since any bona fide disagreement would also affect subsequent arguments over what should be natural/obvious, the limits of the possible, assumptions on how people or institutions would react, etc. A worldview unsurprisingly permeates all topics; it can't be hived off.
