s/idiocy/ideology/
- Ericson2314 6y ago"ideology" needs to be rehabilitated as less pejorative — in our era of empiricism devolved into mindless statistics, the desire to fit everything into a coherent theoretical framework needs a better rep. "Virtue signaling" is a phrase with no good connotation to corrode, and one I'd prefer for the critiwue I believe you are trying to make.
- fennecfoxen 6y agoIf I were trying to make a critique, sir, I'd be making it. I'm just urging another poster applying a more appropriate I-word that doesn't cast aspersions on intelligence, when the conflict is about a world view bundled with a set of values and policy prescriptions.
