    UI didn’t say anything against your educational background, I was explaining what IP正确 meant. Also like, i only half wrote that sentence it shoulda been something like ‘and other materials on the subject’ bit i was making toast and didn’t proofread. I guess you’re right that the debate wasn’t enlightening, I found it a waste of time too, so I’m wondering why you’re saying destiny held his own when you’re capable of seeing that he wasn’t.

    You ain’t ready for that yet

    Because this instance is anti-liberal, but we use the term differently from how you used it. So if I said “we’re also actually anti-liberal” without further context then 99.99% certain you’ll say we’re right-wingers and dismiss us out-of-hand. I say this as a former ‘liberal’ myself. We don’t use liberal as shorthand for ‘democrat’, we understand it in the lockian sense

    that people have rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and property, that have a foundation independent of the laws of any particular society. Stanford encyclopaedia on John locke

    Particularly around the modern capitalist state and defence of private property. On this, both ‘sides’ of politics agree and are in essence liberals.

    We are very prickly, yes. But this thread is relatively tame.
