      You’re ignorant and you don’t know what words mean, including fallacy.

      Which is, in fact, an identifying feature of a liberal.

        Oh? Did you need me to walk you through it, buddy?

        1. Where did I say anything about liberals? (Herein lies the strawman)

        2. I just had a far-leftist espouse arming up because Karl Marx said so; so whether they’re Liberal or Leftist, the point remains.

        3. Liberalism In the United States has traditionally either been short-hand for social liberalism, or the polar-opposite to conservatism. As Howard Zinn points out in The Case for Socialism, Left and Liberalism were used interchangeably throughout American history and distanced itself from that of right-wing conservatism.

        4. Do you speak on behalf of all liberals and leftists? <— Herein lies the gatekeeping / No True Scot fallacy.

        Classic over-confidence of a sub-22-year-old tankie.
