Yeah that one was particularly stupid.
Quote from: Ultimate Chatbot That Totally Passes The Turing Test
I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

This is why the horseshoe theory is dangerous as anything other than a fun observation, it can result in people believing this crap.

Decidedly mediocre, not dumbest. The only real howler is putting anarchism as the slave-making left-wing, when slavery is the polar opposite of anarchy.

Just use a system with more than one dimension; the political compass, for example.

how is anarchism linked to slavery? it's like the polar opposite!
Under anarchy, you can do whatever the fuck you want, including enslaving anyone weaker than you. Come to think of it, anarchy would almost certainly turn into a totalitarian hellhole within a matter of weeks, if not sooner.

pulled to its logical extreme? a la mad max? i see your point. still, this leaves you the opportunity to rebel. why do i hear states' rights activists furiously masturbating?

I wouldn't even say its an extreme example, just a likely outcome.  Humans crave order.  Eventually, one voice is going to win out over the others and take over, even if just locally.  At that point, the local government stops being an anarchic one and shifts into despotic totalitarianism.  Its kinda like what happened to Somalia: the central, country-wide government ceased to be and its basically now run by a bunch of warlords.  Pure anarchy doesn't work...human nature and all that.

Okay I won't worry.  The guy on the left looks more high then threatening (probably just picture quality) and the woman on the right looks completely normal.  The only way she could be scary is if headscarves automatically give you panic attacks.

Unfortunately, those specific two ARE threatening. They're the San Bernardino shooters.

The guns they're carrying are pretty scary.

Or are violent gun-toting lunatics only a worry if they're carrying a 19th century battleflag at the time?

Well, yes, we know that now, but you're acting like Skybison should have automatically known just by looking at the picture.

There's this little thing called reading the news.

Although if one is a progressive, one probably gets one's news from MSNBC or the Young Turks who'll go out of their way to avoid reporting things like this because facts don't fit the narrative.

Gave up years ago. Screaming at the TV gets old after awhile. At least here I get a little interactivity.
