Buddy, you really think that was condescending? Ooh boy.

You aren't the one calling the shots here champ. This is a Marxist Leninist instance. That means that you should try and understand the Marxist Leninist point of view before smugly telling us we're all wrong.

I've given you sources, I've told you about trying to understand that your perspective isn't the only one, and you call me condescending, that's an awful big word there slugger, well done!

You clearly aren't actually interested in learning, so please take your smug elsewhere, it isn't welcome here. I'm not interested in a "debate" with someone who demands I be "civil" by not calling them out when they say bullshit. You've been trying to shove multiple different societies into simplistic labels rather than trying to understand any of them. It's a shame you took Pol-Sci instead of Anthropology, you'd probably have a better set of tools to understand this stuff that way.

You accuse me of saying a triangle has more than three sides, but have you considered that maybe I'm talking about squares and pentagons as well as triangles? And you're the only one here insisting every shape is triangular?

This is for the lurkers, an essay on how this sort of thinking is so prevalent in yankees:
