> Our political team is completely immune from this effect because our team is morally superior, more intelligent and better smelling than those people. You would do well to familiarize yourself with Hannah Arendt, rather than just repeat generalities. > Kasparov is due for some self-reflection. That has nothing to do with this quote.

Perhaps quoting Hannah Arendt in the OP context is not the slam dunk some think it is. Edit: Allow me to be more direct. Let's take all the vitriol Kasparov has thrown at the feet of the red team since 2016 at face value. For the same time period, will you (or Kasparov) name 3 brainwashing propaganda campaigns that the blue team has undertaken?

  > Perhaps quoting Hannah Arendt in the OP context is not the slam dunk some think it is. I don't even know what that means. Do you disagree with anything of her I quoted, then actually interact with it. You spent 2 comments not doing that, and then talk about being even more direct? > Let's take all the vitriol Kasparov has thrown at the feet of the red team since 2016 at face value. Why are you not taking this to the top-level? What does it have to do with the quote I posted? You think I posted it to say Kasparov is right about something? I posted it as it is. > For the same time period, will you (or Kasparov) name 3 brainwashing propaganda campaigns that the blue team has undertaken? Red team? Blue team? What are you even on about?

    I agree, this subthread would have fit better directly under the OP.

      Thanks, and sorry for being so abrasive; but just like my quote could be taken as "supporting Kasparov" (but wasn't meant that way, I would have to read up on him to have a stance), I misunderstood your response as an oblique slight against that quote and its author. And while she wasn't perfect, because nobody is, and we can always argue the content of her words -- as far as character goes, Hannah Arendt did live by them as far as I can tell.
