This is pure ideology: we were actually helping them when we were chopping their children's hands off in the congo when they didn't produce enough.
- natalyarostova 7y agoI don't understand what you're saying. Who is saying anyone helped anyone else when children's hands were chopped off in the Congo?
- ianleeclark 7y agoI quoted you.
- natalyarostova 7y agoYou quoted me, then made a very insincere and uncharitable implication of what I said. I don't have any ideology, I was just pointing out how post-hoc explanations always fit the data. But that you could take other examples and come to opposite conclusions.
- ianleeclark 7y ago> I don't have any ideology Yes, you do. Regardless of if you want to or not, you have an ideology.
