I'd have assumed, even as insufferable liberals, that they'd be diverse enough to at least argue with some variety from one federated liberal to another, but so far not seeing much of that.

It's weird shit too, like the preoccupation with passive-aggressively saying "kindly" while insulting people too left for them. I've seen it from three different federated liberals today, alone. Is it some kind of "BioShock had such le epic quotable lines and the blue curtains were awesome, dae 'would you kindly'" thing?

    I noticed this in real life too. I had a political argument or debate or whatever with an old friend who is died blue Democrat, literally works in politics. He's a smart guy and obviously in tune with politics, but when we talked about China or foreign policy every single argument he made I had heard before and had counters to. Nothing was surprising. Liberals all kind of retread the same basic bullet points and change the topic if you have concrete ways to address those points.

      How did he respond?

        It started with talking about China not respecting IP laws and every time I countered what he said, he switched to a different "China bad" bullet point.
