Presentism: making sure one doesn't have to acknowledge history in order to advance one's own tribal ideology. Good job!

  You've dismissed someone's carefully thought out reply with not arguments but with a one-liner with a word of jargon, an accusation of someone advancing an ideology through making comments buried many levels deep in random hacker news threads and a dash of sarcasm thrown in for good measure. Go ahead and feel proud you've defended your mind from reasoning another person's thoughts and thinking up a rebuttal based on reasonable arguments. lol. :)

    Wow. Self-describing your post as "carefully thought out". Yeah, accuse me of pride. There's "takes one to know one", and then there's this. > thinking up a rebuttal based on reasonable arguments. Your post is rebutted by history. When you have a reasonable argument to make, go ahead and make it. Until then, your wall of sarcastic text is best answered by "a dash of sarcasm".

      You're a troll, and I'm going to take the bait. How is it rebutted by history? Tell me the specific historical events you have in mind.
