You seem angry. Would you like a hug?

Seriously did you forget to take your medication this morning?

I am not going to engage with you as you are clearly unstable and arguing in bad faith, as evidenced by your ridiculous assumptions about my stance on things in your first reply to me, and then saying my reply is invalid because apparently someone else also said it? To give you a hint at where you went wrong, I am a socialist.

Now go take your medicine and sit down.

Your reply isn't invalid because someone else said it, it's invalid for the same reason it's invalid when said person says it. You don't follow up with an elaboration on your positions, you use it as a defense to digress. That's fair enough, of course. You don't have to defend your position. Doesn't make it a valid argument, though.

And no, I'm not angry. People can disagree quite without getting worked up and this is really just another non-argument to digress. Ridiculous assumptions and all, huh?

Being a socialist doesn't automatically make you left. There's a long tradition of "socialist" authoritarians, and your repeated ableism speaks volumes. Doesn't even matter, though, because there was a lot more content in what I said than any assumptions about you. If you're a socialist, of course, you know very well that identity politics have always played a central role on the left, so why pretend this is the "modern left"? Unless, of course, my assumption isn't THAT far off and you're actually really just a semi-reactionary "socialist" oblivious of the history of the left.

If I was arguing in bad faith, of course, I'd have called you a tankie. It's not like I've not seen your other responses in this thread with your stance on capitalism.
