ace...
it's almost impossible to get to the individual points you try to make because the way you frame the arguments is frequently so much embedded in a very conservative economic viewpoint that much of what should be argument or claim is presented as though it were true. this thread is a good example. the historical comparison it's based upon is ridiculous except in the most superficial possible sense, which is:
do you think that the obama administration will suffer the same kind of fate that the hoover administration suffered
which is a loose parallel question and **not** what you tried to make of it.
you do this stuff all the time, ace.
if i have a seam in between stuff that i am doing and feel inclined to interact with one of your threads or posts, more often than not this is how things play out. i go after a framework question, you pretend you don't know what i'm talking about. then i'll get momentarily exasperated thinking for fucks sake this is **your** argument, you have to be just playing obtuse. but maybe you arent and you just repeat things on faith. it's hard to say.
you've never made any effort so far as i can tell to interact in anything remotely like an engaqed way with anything anyone who criticizes you from a left viewpoint has written in response to your actions.
you don't even pretend to engage.
but you try to demand from others that they engage with your arguments on their own terms
this even after repeated demonstrations of exactly how and exactly why those terms are at best problematic.
i dont get it ace.
