Just to note; it would be really helpful if you could ease up on the ad hominem. It's not going to stop me and doesn't add to the weight of your arguments. It just drags the discussion down and makes it harder to figure out what your arguments are
> These are intentional similarities!
I said that there are "clear comparisons" to the American revolution. I didn't suggest that the comparison was accidental. If anything, I assumed it was supposed to be read that way.
> One example to shut you up
Well, you've failed there. Perhaps we should focus on the cause of your initial outrage: Heinlein's (lack of) character depth?
> For this you feel the need to be secretive?
It's privacy rather than secrecy. I don't want it to be too easy to link this account to my Goodreads.

- n4r9 2y agoI assume then tha you have no arguments to make in support of Heinlein's characterisations. Thanks for the discussion I guess, in a way it's been vindicating.
- throwanem 2y agoSure. That's why you can't let it go till you get the last word. Anything to tell yourself you won. I don't mind. Eat your heart out.
- n4r9 2y agoAll I'm looking for is some reasoning about why you think I'm wrong. Something that goes beyond fallacies such as "because it's not what I think" or "you're clearly a bigot" or "you must need to read more". I've attempted to do some more reading of Heinlein analysis and am finding that it generally agrees with what I said (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43703348 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43703348). Would be interested t osee if you are anymore willing to engage now.
