    "I listen to counter-culture pricks on the JRE so I'm much more informed than you assholes that trust actual experts".

    The only reason I don't say you're more driven by ideology than anyone is the shit you believe doesn't warrant the word "idea".

    You may "trust the experts", but those experts like the almighty, never to be questioned Fauci says to wear a mask then goes out to a ball game maskless. Why should I trust the experts' advice when they don't even follow their own guidelines?

    By virtue of being alive, I've never blown my brains out, so I'm an expert at not blowing my brains out.
    As an expert in the field, I advise you not to blow your brains out.
    Don't rebel against me, I'm really scared of rebellion.

    Apparently, you are an "intellectual" which makes you "looney left". If you're stupid and call people names like trump does, then you're fine.

    That term is most common in American politics, are you going by
    this definition?

    If so, not quite. I tend to think that private enterprise and competition works well in lots of ways. There are some industries that form natural monopolies though and those should be publicly owned or highly regulated, and believe there is a need for strong workplace rights laws to address the power imbalance between individual workers and employers.

    What makes you say we are driven by those motivations to the extent of ignoring facts?

    You mean inconvenient facts like the statistics about economic mobility in the U.S. versus other countries that you've been studiously ignoring?

    Your refusal to acknowledge that the philosophy and ideology behind CRT is what’s driving these so called history teachers even though the head of the largest teachers Union admitted that CRT is in fact being taught in schools and I’ve linked to documents of lesson plans that have the same type of rhetoric in them. The fact that see problem with “female” athletes who were born male competing in female sports even though it’s a clear advantage. That’s just two examples, but I’m sure more will come up later.

    Still obsessed with Critical Race Theory, and yet you still can't point to a single thing about it that's untrue.

    What philosophy and ideology is that? You've previously stated communism, are we communists now?

    Shoving "philosophy" at the end of something makes it seem like a subjective opinion.
    Gravity philosophy.
    Round Earth philosophy.
    Evolution philosophy! Actually, I've fucking heard that one!

    No, I don't believe he's usually suckled on by infants. That's just slander by his enemies, common sense and intellect.

    Let's assume I was then, why would that lead to a blindness to facts around this issue?

    What is it that you perceive is the difference between socialism and communism and why are you so sure Bailey is one, but not the other?
