        Yeah that voting as an individual act bit from a few weeks ago bit from Virgil was annoying af and Virgil is one of my favorite chapos.

        He sincerely was not arguing in good faith

          That was such a tedious and pointless distinction to try to agonize over.

              Even so, whether voting is a collective or individual act is an unimportant philosophical distinction. I don't care if you consider it collective or individual.

          Yeah, I agree more with Virgil than Brie, and I would say that under our neoliberal system voting is an individual act and an aesthetic choice that can foster no real change so long as a politicians are controlled by capitalists (unless you're voting for revolutionaries). But whatever point Virgil was trying to make was so poorly and obtusely argued that I was angry with him on behalf of Brie.

        I hope not. They're a good duo. But she has every right to be tired of his shit - he may have some deeper/more interesting takes, but she's constantly making extremely well-supported basic points and he can't find in himself the decency to just go along instead of weirdly devil's advocate/irony-shitpost-ing everything.

          Anyone who refuses to concede any points on Star Trek space NATO that Wyatt Cenac laid out infallibly deserves the Virgil Texas posting treatment.

            I'm not a trekkie, so I could be wrong, but I thought Brie and Wyatt both had good points, so she didn't need to concede anything. And even if she was wrong that one time, she was right 9 other times and Virgil was the one being silly.
