William,
If you will show me something in my case against Charlie's ideas that you know as a fact to not be present in his ideas, either willfully or implicitly, I would be interested in hearing it.

If the information expressed on this thread in support Trump or his policies is gathered from a peer based review of either history or science or what have you, again I would be interested to hear it.

If you have a way that ideas like inerrant notes form exclusive and violent Deities can be put forward as the last word in the polis without them becoming ideologies of force, again I would be interested in how that might work.

The left you bring up, I assume, is the Bolsheviks and later Stalin. Personally I don't recognize most of that business with the anything but another Statist ideology gone bad. So if that is the Left, then I am not. I think the State and its techniques are what most threatens life on this globe and that only ideas more kin to anarchism, mutual aid, and what-have-you have any real promise. Not the place for a long rant on this but I am all Fanya Baron and very little Trotsky I guess. I don't think socialism is innately tied to that sort of business. I think the idea that the autonomous movements for environmental, gender, and economic justice have murderous counterparts today to the destruction of capitalism, consolidation, and religious fundamentalism is total bull%$#t. Any evidence that I am wrong here, again I would be interested in seeing.

The last person to use the word trolling was me. I used it about my own behaviour of late, responding aggressively to each of CS's posts. I also said why that was so. If my writing is unclear on those points, I apologize.
