ieatcrayonz Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 sure, to believe in that ideal (the good of the many, not your misapplied paraphrase) necessarily means you're a nazi or espouse fascism. geez, that really deserves a forehead slap. seems, at its extremes more in line with another german political philosopher whom the nazi's despised. yet, you see a striking similarity. uh huh...it's liberals who are the dualists, seeing life in black and white and never gray. I am not too political but you'd have to be numb not to notice that liberals are laaaaaaaaazy. This good of the many crap simply means "wouldn't it be nice if I slept all day and presented myself as needy and other people paid for all my crap?". Liberals want everything to be gray because if it is you they can make an excuse for laziness in just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdog1960 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Liberals want everything to be gray because if it is you they can make an excuse for laziness in just about anything. so you're not arguing that things really aren't gray and that things are black and white? you're saying that recognizing that things are gray doesn't fit your political beliefs. That "moral superiority" you carry around must get pretty heavy. and you're arguing that moral superiority is not something humans should endeavor to achieve? how bout moral mediocrity?...i'd settle for that.

More like: idiots shouldn't call others neo-fascists when 1) they don't know what the term means, and 2) their own beliefs are a far closer match. Jesus, you are slow.

Jesus, you are slow. using insults as a debate tactic is for the weak minded. that's more an indication of being slow than my disagreeing with your narrow definitions of rather arbitrary, ill defined and frankly unimportant, political ideologies.

A better example of a weak-minded argument is misusing a well-defined, specific term like "fascism", then arguing that it's arbitrary, ill-defined, and unimportant when you're not only caught out on it, but caught being even more fascist than the people you're labeling.

Fascism is well defined?? You mean Hitler's fascism was the same as Mussolinis? What, are you a bathroom professor or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
