Like, hate me by all means, but at least know what it is you hate. Don’t say “antifa are the real fascists”. Don’t call me a “socialist liberal anarchist tankie”. For fucks sake, Marxism isn’t “forcing people to wear a mask”. This shit makes me wanna warp to another galaxy.
Counterpoint: Adults don't know how to run a society. A child knows to share, knows that everyone ought to have a place to live and food to eat, and given the levers of power would say something childish like "okay, now it is illegal to deny medical care" and that would be that.
On the other hand, adults give us "realistic" policy that denies all the basic things we teach children are correct. Politics is complex because the ruling class made it complex, in order to mystify the common man.
Me: "Children don't know how to do calculus."
You: "Counterpoint: Adults don't know how to do calculus."
A child would say something equally childish like "okay no one can wear red today" and that would be that.
Children don't know how to do calculus because we don't teach it to them. We do teach them how to operate as ethical beings. It is only in approaching adulthood that we teach the former and also that "pragmatism" is a suitable substitute for the latter.
